    I’ve been using the Samsung S26 Ultra for a few weeks and it’s honestly one of the best phones I’ve had. The screen is super sharp and smooth, the camera takes amazing photos (even at night), and performance is fast with no lag at all. Battery easily lasts me a full day. It is a bit big, but if you’re okay with that, it’s definitely worth it.

    Great product overall, i upgraded from the S24 Ultra so the rounded edges were a very nice touch (although i do miss the feel and heft of the titanium on the S24). The S26 does feel a lot lighter but, i does also feel like a single drop will cause significant damage so get a case ASAP. Camera quality i cleaner and sharper (better blacks and greys) than the S24 Ultra). Samsung.... bring back my Bluetooth S-Pen!!!

    I'm upgrading from my S24 Plus because I didn't like the 25 series, but this one is actually a bit more worth it. It's my first Ultra—I bought it for the camera, and it doesn't disappoint. I would change a few things to improve it, but it's solid.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My review about the S26 ULTRA

    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.

    Honestly surprised by how powerful this phone feel

    I didn’t expect to be this impressed, but the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra genuinely surprised me. Photos come out sharp and detailed without much effort, even in tricky lighting, and the screen brightness is something I notice every single day. Using it outdoors in bright sunlight used to be frustrating with my old phone, but now everything stays clear and easy to see. What really made me happy is how powerful and reliable it feels overall. The phone runs fast, handles multiple apps without slowing down, and the battery easily gets me through the day without stress. It just feels solid and dependable, and that kind of performance makes daily use feel smooth instead of frustrating.

    What can I say. I know the reviews online talk about the screen not being as good. But I think that is YouTubers trying to get clicks. I cannot tell a difference with the screen and I have one eye and bothered by poor screens. The privacy screen is wonderful. I use it only on certain apps like banking apps and message notifi ations. That way I have the full screen on videos and other. It's battery life is great. The faster charging is nice. It is lighter than the s25 ultra. And it is much lighter than the Google pixel 10 Pro XL. I took advantage of Best Buy's promotion and got the phone for $400. No brainer

    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.

    I have bought the last 5 ultras phones. I know, I have problem. However, this is a huge step up over the last few year over year improvements. They made the phone a lot more polished while slimming it down and making it way more comfortable to hold. The privacy screen is a real innovation and the AI features are low key amazing now. My only thing from proclaiming this at the best phone ever is that it lacks the Qi 2 charging magnet in the phone. I'm sure they have to figure out the sPen interaction to get the magnet and pen working together. If they can they will have an all timers on the next one.

    I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and one thing that really stands out is the Galaxy AI—it actually feels useful, not gimmicky. It helps with a lot of everyday stuff. For example, it can summarize notifications and prioritize what’s important, which makes a big difference when my phone is blowing up. It also gives smart suggestions based on what I’m doing, so I don’t have to dig through apps as much. The AI photo features are also really cool. I can just type what I want to change in a picture, and it edits it for me, or even creates things like stickers from photos.

    The Best Phone with a Small Design Flaw

    The Samsung S26 Ultra is an amazing device. The screen is stunning and the camera takes professional-grade photos. It is very fast and the battery life is excellent for a full day of work. ​However, there is one small detail: the S Pen does not sit completely flush with the frame. It sticks out slightly, which is a bit disappointing for such a premium design. It is secure and won't fall out, but it doesn't feel perfectly smooth at the bottom. Overall, it's a fantastic phone, but I hope they fix this in the next version

    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
