    This is a good phone. But it has things that bother a lot and more than anything the brightness, I do not feel that it is much and apart from the battery, it lasts almost nothing, only if you do not use it flat, the camera is good if you know how to use it.

    I love my new S26 Ultra. My last 4 phones have had the pen with them and I use them faithfully. However, the pen on this phone seems to have a dead spot on the right side of the screen. So far Best Buy doesn't have an answer to this problem.

    This phone has a unique hardware feature allows users to limit viewing angles horizontally and vertically, preventing bystanders from viewing the screen. For those who want more privacy control. This phone is for you.

    It is a fantastic device, packed with features you won't find in any other device. I made no mistake in my choice, and I was extremely lucky. Samsung is the perfect choice. And the best part of all is the service at Best Buy.

    Love this series of phone, and I really feel like the 26 Ultra was the first real big upgrade to the Galaxy lineup in quite some time, with features like the privacy screen making the upgrade especially worth it!
