      Posted .

      Howdy ChristineD, thank you for taking the time to share your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Your insights provide valuable critiques that will assist us with improving our product line. The Galaxy S26 Ultra carries the torch of the Note series, featuring a 6.9-inch 1440p 120Hz display with S Pen integration, yet it distinguishes itself from older Notes via the 200MP camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and advanced Privacy Display technology. It offers superior performance, battery life, and AI capabilities compared to any Note, with a more curved design than earlier Ultra models. Please feel free to reach out to Support if you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like any further assistance. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra Samsung
