    Was afraid to switch to Samsung but i don't regret it at all. It's incredibly smooth even after a few months, the camera is unbeatable quality, features like privacy screen are peak and the battery lasts all day. Definitely wouldn't go back on this purchase.

    I like how edgy the corners are compared to previous generations, specially the S23 and S24. This feels more easier to handle. The screen blur option is good but the quality goes down when turned down so I give that a 6/10 but the phone is fast and very comfortable to use. If you need a new phone it should be S26.

    I traded in my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 256GB for the S26 Ultra 256 and cut the cost in half. Make it a great value; my S23's USB port and battery were both overused by bad phone habits. Best Buy makes the trade-in process easy, and I got a $100 gift card.

    Best Buy gave me a better trade in deal for my phone than what Verizon offered!! The phone came super quick, and the pre paid packaging made it so simple to return my old phone.. I highly recommend giving Best Buy to anyone looking for a phone..

    It was a good purchase, but the price was abit higher with tax than Samsung showroom...and I wish Best Buy would provide services to start a new phone...because there are many older or senior people who dont know how to transfer files and data...I wish they dint keep a charge for that...

    Upgraded from S22 Ultra, what sold me on the 26 over the flip or fold was the purple color and the screen being a larger solid piece of glass than both other options. Privacy screen is cool if you need that.
