[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid feeling phone. The camera 📷 is amazing and I love how stable the zoom is compared to my 22 Ultra. Speed is samsung standard, you know it's an s series-Great! I've only had it one day but only charged it for about an hour when I woke up because I was transferring everything overnight, so the battery is holding up big time. I am excited to try the new Galaxy AI, I know its really neat in the photo editing.

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.

Memorable nights, clearly captured.

With Galaxy S26 Ultra, your nights don’t disappear in the dark. Nightography captures concerts, city nights and dinner celebrations with vivid detail — even in low light. When you take photos or record videos, S26 Ultra automatically adjusts in real time to keep what you capture clear and bright so you never have to think about lighting or settings.

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.

Group selfies made easy.

Group selfies shouldn’t take so much effort. With a wider front camera⁷, it’s easier to capture more people and more of the scene in one simple shot.

Loogey03 · 5 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no lag between pages, apps or anything else this phone is capable of. The only negative thing is no wireless pen services for like picture taking. I know it probably won't come back but I do miss it. Other than that, it's awesome and still learning all the features this phone has to offer.
