    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

    11 Days with Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB

    I upgraded from my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (512GB) to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (512GB) on March 8, 2026, and after 11 days of use, the experience has been very positive overall. The performance feels faster and smoother, especially while multitasking and switching between apps, with no noticeable lag so far. Battery life has slightly improved compared to my previous device, easily lasting a full day with regular usage like calls, WhatsApp, and YouTube. The camera quality is excellent as expected, with better clarity and improved low-light performance, though the difference is not extremely drastic from the S23 Ultra. The display is brighter and more comfortable to use outdoors, and the overall design still feels premium, although slightly heavy. S Pen responsiveness remains great and useful for quick notes. I also noticed improvements in call quality and connectivity stability. The built-in privacy screen feature is very useful, as it prevents others from seeing my screen in public, adding an extra layer of security. However, the upgrade feels more incremental than revolutionary, especially considering the price. Overall, it’s a great device.

    Best galaxy ultra phone by far. Coming from a 23 ultra which was my favorite phone to this new ultra has changed my mind. This 26 ultra is now my new favorite. Works smooth, the AI features are super easy to work with. Tons of new tricks, etc. On paper it seems like not a difference but when you start diving in hands on you can really tell how better this 26 ultra is. Highly recommend

    Cameras and image quality are solid. Operating system is very stable with great customization. The phone itself feels really nice and slim in hand. The agentic ai features features are really slick, if you like the added functionality of an ai assistant that can run other apps for you. I love the S pen for video and photo editing. Just overall a great jack of all trades.

    Turned off all AI. I'm so happy now! Works great without AI. AI makes it a spy machine with little to no benefit. There wasn't a single AI task that saved me work. As all needed further review or editing or complete redo to get 100%. In addition the AI use shares all and it's made public or at least stored and shared by companies to target user for sales or much worse.

    I switched from a Pixel 9 Pro fold (and having used Pixel Pro phones for years) to the Samsung 26 Ultra, it feels like a massive upgrade. The just Ultra feels more responsive in general navigation and with apps. The privacy screen is a huge upgrade compared to a normal phone and having the S-pen is a benefit as well to write quick notes when needed.

    Great phone but the pre-order process not so much

    The phone isn't the issue I knew what I was getting when I pre-ordered the Galaxy s26 ultra but not being able to just mail in my old phone so that I could take it home and migrate from my old s24 ultra to my new one and having to do it in store being rushed while someone's sitting there watching and waiting for me to give them my old phone was an annoying process. The worst that would happen if I didn't give them my old phone is I would have to pay full price for the new phone but she sat there looking at me like I was going to steal it or something, the entire hour and a half it took to migrate from one phone to the next. Then for days after I had issues because I needed the old phone for security verification when setting up the new phone and for certain apps thankfully there were ways around that but it wasn't a simple process. I recommend the product I don't recommend pre-ordering if that's how it's going to be handled. Just allow us to mail the old phone in within two or three days like Samsung themselves do.
