I've been a Samsung user since many years. my honest review about the S26 ULTRA after using it for 1 WEEK
• First let's start talking about the previous S series that were doing perfect.. especially the S25 ULTRA which felt the peak of what a smartphone could be. I like companies are just trying to add those extra layers to reach "Absolute perfection" and ofc sacrificing some things (eg: Bluetooth in S PEN, Titanium frame...)
• The main marketing hook this year is the privacy screen.. and we can say that the screen technologies are a Samsung thing.. From a sales prescriptive the feature is a massive selling point and some customers are buying specifically for that feature.. But for me I don't even use it unless I customise it for PINs, Passwords...etc. .. I really prefer to have them more than the privacy feature.
I like :
Performance.
The video capturing especially if u dive into the PRO settings.
The Ai image editing (text to image) is unlimited.
The colors look more vivid.
It feels premium more than the S25 Ultra.
Great phone. Several small updates make big differ

This phone fixes what i didnt like about my s24u. Despite being taller its easier to hold. Lighter, thinner, narrower and the rounded corners give them all pleasing form to hold. Charging is faster and battery is over 8hrs screen on time. Pictures are better in low light and processing power for everything including AI is top tier even surpassing apple. Privacy display has no rival, unique no more privacy added screen protector that adds weight to the phone. Very pleased with my purchase.

If you had asked me last week it was only 3 stars... it is growing on me. It doesn't have the feel of a flagship, feels like an a17 or has a similar hand feel as the Flip 5 I had for a novelty. The style isn't as impressive as the S24 Ultra. been playing more with AI features and the Privacy Display- that where this phone shines. Battery life is improved even if the battery itself hasn't been upgraded
Give it a chance I suppose-- Best Buy offered far more than Samsung for trade in and bonus offers..

Happpyyyy! I had a S23 Ultra, I was hesitating a lot about buying this phone. However, it was definitely a beautiful decision. The best thing is the battery, it last soooooo much! And it charges fast too!!. It is amazingly light, and has wonderful screen and colors. My mainly concern was not having the bluetooh S Pen; however, it was not a problem at all.

The privacy display is a nice touch. I personally like the rounded edges too. The camera upgrades are nice as well. I noticed sometimes magsafe popsockets interfere with the spen, but if you have a thicker magsafe case it usually mitigates that. Love the phone. Probably didnt need to upgrade from s25, but i did due to the promotion they were running

I have only had this product for a few days so i have not fully experienced all of its capabilities. However after just a few days of use i am so glad I upgraded from my s23. So far its easier to use, love love love the privacy display, great battery life, better picture quality and sound. I definitely recommend upgrading to this product.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra does not disappoint. I used to upgrade twice a year when S and Note used to launch. Tried the fold on 3 different generations and it just don't compete with the S Ultra. Camera is a beast. Decent upgrade from S25 Ultra.
