The ULTRA experience!

Strongandpretty . 12 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ultra experience is to be experienced, in person and by pride of ownership. Finally a device that with the AI, is more like a companion by your side. As with all new phones, there's a learning curve, but this was probably one of the easiest to grasp. As a clinician, I live by times and schedules, with my S26, It's a breeze! Not to forget the slim design and awesome cameras that would make Ansel Adam's envious! Long story short, this is the companion you have needed by your side.

Upgrade with Bugs

Sahil . 15 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had S23 ultra and just upgraded to S26 ultra. I liked my S23 better than this because S2y have alot more bugs than S23. Not sure why Samsung is not able to fix those bugs. Side volume button sometimes dont work, screen get freeze, whats app messenger get freeze, you tube button stop working when pressed while doing multi task. I wish i could get back to my S23 ultra.

Specs

The world’s first privacy display built into a phone.

For the first time ever, you can now limit what others can see on your phone whenever you want by enabling the built-in Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra. Clear when you look at it straight on but more private when others look in, Privacy Display can even be preset to automatically turn on when receiving notifications, typing in passwords or using specific apps.⁶

Remove the mess. Restore the magic.⁴

Quickly transform your photos by simply typing or tapping using Photo Assist⁴ with Galaxy AI.³ Did someone take a bite of your dessert before you took the photo? 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.

A creative studio on your phone. Strong performance. Smooth play.

Meet your new creative outlet. From playful illustrations to 3D cartoons, add fun to your everyday moments —whether it’s a custom wallpaper, stickers for your group chat, a special contact photo or an invitation.^5,3 Push the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile gaming thanks to our most powerful processor yet. Play graphic-intensive games with lightning-fast responsiveness.

Smart suggestions.¹ Brilliant timing.

Now Nudge with Galaxy AI³ is your behind-the-scenes assistant that just gets you. When you need to reply to a text ¹, search for info or fill out an online form, Now Nudge uses your screen cues to pull up information saved on your phone², right when you need it. That means quicker replies, fewer frantic app switches and more moments that feel like you’re running your day — and not the other way around.

Great speakers and practical smart features

honchz . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice detailed screen. But I don’t care for the privacy screen. Not as practical as I expected and it does affect display quality, though the degradation is not as bad as the internet would have you believe. My biggest problem is that the screen is really harsh and glaring on my eyes. If the next model does not have high frequency PWM dimming I will not buy Samsung again. The good things are that I really like the Routines function and the external speaker sounds good. Finally, the Circle to Search feature powered by Galaxy AI is insanely useful and my favorite addition to the device, by far.

Absolute beast of a phone, highly recommend

SamSungAlot . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I’ve been using the S26 Ultra for a bit now and it’s a powerhouse. The battery easily gets me through the whole day without even sweating it, and the screen is massive and super crisp. One of my favorite things is still how good Samsung's Secure Folder is. It makes running duplicate apps and messing around with secondary setups and custom launchers so easy and sandbox-secure. The cameras are also crazy good, especially taking pictures at night since they seem to pull in way more light now. But what actually surprised me was Galaxy AI. I thought it was just going to be a marketing gimmick, but using it to quickly erase random people out of the background of my photos or summarize long texts has actually been super handy. It’s not totally perfect—the camera bump is huge so it wobbles whenever I lay it flat on my desk, and the aluminum frame feels like it might scratch easier than the older titanium ones. But overall? Easily the best phone I've owned in a while.

R&R Team - 1 day ago

Hi there SamSungAlot, we appreciate you sharing your experience of your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with us.
