    The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in Cobalt Violet looks amazing and feels super premium in hand. What I like: it’s insanely fast, the display is beautiful, and the camera is next-level. I use it daily for photos, videos, and social media, and it never disappoints. I also use it for streaming and browsing, and everything runs buttery smooth. Battery easily lasts me a full day. What I dislike: it’s a bit pricey and slightly bulky, but honestly that’s expected for a top-tier phone. Bought it from Best Buy and the experience was quick and easy. Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase. Definitely worth it.

    Got this phone for $600 stacked a trade-in, certs, holiday discount and price match within the return period. It pairs very well with zagg case and screen protector. Really enjoying the privacy screen feature. Battery last a long time not a heavy app user. Shade in black is best at resale value over any color option.

    Phone's good for my big hands. The stylus is a little small, but this is coming from someone who mainly draws on a tablet. I like the privacy screen, but the best results are when you turn on "maximum protection," which makes your screen super white. THe regular privacy screen is okay ish but from some angles the content is still visible.
