[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this device for work, as well as personal. I am a special education teacher and I find Galaxy AI a great tool in modifying assignments. The camera is amazing for taking pictures of my grandbabies and my pets, and I couldn't be happier with how easy it is to edit and filter them to my liking. I truly couldn't be happier with this device!

Just type, “Make this piece of cake look perfect,” and your pic is fixed like magic. Want to add in a few plates or cups to elevate the scene? Pull objects from Samsung Gallery, and they’ll naturally blend in with the scene’s lighting and shadows. You can even apply AI-generated styles to give your photo a totally different vibe.

My S26 Ultra

Kehtari1972 . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have just received my new phone and so far. I have found myself having to adjust to quite a few differences. It's been a while since I've had a phone with a stylus. And that in itself isn' is a difference that I am adjusting to though, I am having fun with this phone. The sad part about this phone is that it does not have Samsung messages. Google has forced Samsung to take it off of its new versions. And sadly, Google messages really sucks. It has taken the fun away from messaging, and my heart is broken because of that. ISO very much enjoyed Samsung messages. The stickers the themes changing up whenever you can decide or want to making messaging super fun. However, the phone in itself I am very pleased with I am still learning bits and parts of it. It's especially being able to write and draw. So for anyone who has the S26 ultra? I hope you are truly enjoying it. As much as I am, thank you samsung for the fun.

Ongoing Wi-Fi 7 Connectivity Problem on Galaxy S26

Paolo . 1 day ago

**⭐☆☆☆☆ (1 Star)** I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra expecting it to be Samsung's best flagship phone, but the Wi-Fi 7 experience has been a major disappointment. When connected to my home Wi-Fi 7 network, the phone works normally at first. However, after sitting idle for about 20–30 minutes, it suddenly reports that the connected Wi-Fi network has no internet access, even though the network is working perfectly. As a result, notifications stop coming through until I unlock the phone or reconnect to Wi-Fi. Every other device on the same Wi-Fi 7 network continues to work without any issues, so the problem appears to be specific to the S26 Ultra. I've contacted Samsung support multiple times and even visited an authorized service center, but no one has been able to identify or resolve the issue. Instead of acknowledging that this may be a software or firmware bug, I was repeatedly asked to go through the same troubleshooting steps. This is a serious issue for anyone who relies on timely notifications, messages, emails, or work-related apps. A flagship phone should not lose internet connectivity simply because it has been idle. I hope Samsung acknowledges this problem and releases a software update to fix it. Until then, anyone planning to use the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a Wi-Fi 7 network should be aware that they may experience intermittent connectivity issues.

Invasive unwanted features

Asmodeusjr . 1 day ago

The product was great, until recent updates. I cant take pictures anymore without AI interference, which makes my images worse. I am unable to turn off the now brief completely and it is using memory and obscuring my wallpaper. The forced integration of Ai into features has completely messed up my predictive text and spelling checks, I want to be able to opt out of the Ai features completely and I can't. I cant have edges on my wallpapers so it crops them incorrectly and won't let me edit them correctly.

The best Galaxy phone I've owned

1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is easily the best smartphone I have ever owned. The display is incredibly bright and smooth, making everything from streaming movies to gaming feel premium. Battery life easily gets me through a full day, even with heavy use, and the performance has been consistently fast with no slowdowns. The camera system is outstanding. Photos are sharp, colors look natural, and low-light performance is excellent. The S Pen continues to be one of my favorite features for taking notes, editing photos, and staying productive. Galaxy AI has quickly become part of my daily routine. The AI writing tools, translation features, photo editing, and search capabilities save time and make everyday tasks easier. Instead of feeling like a gimmick, Galaxy AI genuinely improves how I use my phone. Samsung has created a device that excels in productivity, entertainment, and creativity. If you're looking for a flagship phone that does everything well, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is an outstanding choice. I would recommend it without hesitation.

The Samsung Galaxy fold says that it has satellite if the 5G is not working does this phone as well do the same thing or should I choose a different phone

Answer from Verizon Customer Support4 days

Yes, recent Samsung foldables, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, include satellite connectivity features. They are designed to act as a fallback, automatically allowing you to send emergency messages or use specific apps when cellular or 5G coverage drops out.How Samsung Satellite Connectivity WorksEmergency & Texting: Samsung's satellite features—powered by partnerships with carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and Skylo—let you send SOS and text messages in dead zones.Supported Apps: When off the grid, you can access features on pre-loaded applications like Google Messages, WhatsApp, and Google Maps.Carrier Dependence: Satellite capabilities require specific network partnerships. Before purchasing, ensure your specific mobile provider supports direct-to-satellite messaging for your chosen device. ~Jorge
