    Upgraded from the S24 Ultra and the difference is clear. Cameras are sharper, especially at night and zoom. Ultra-wide has more detail. Performance feels faster and smoother. AI features are actually useful. Overall, the S26 Ultra feels more advanced and worth upgrading if you want better cameras and performance

    Excellent camera and software interface I have been using if for couple of weeks now didn’t see any issues. I have been an Apple user for the last 10 years and finally decided to switch to an android phone. The privacy screen is a game changer. No one can really see your screen sitting on your side.

    The phone my wife wanted for her birthday. She loves it, so many different options she can do to edit pics and change lighting, even the ability to remove items or people not intended to be in pics. Great quality, awesome specs and super clear large screen.

    S26 Ultra - Sweet Deal

    I upgraded to the new S26 Ultra primarily because it has much better camera features than my old S22 Ultra. The clincher is that the trade in value of my S22 Ultra was $500 and I also received a $100 gift card from Best Buy. How can you go wrong with such a deal?

    Battery life is nearly double what I had from my old phone, and the night time camera works great. The built in privacy screen has two modes for a stronger privacy when viewed at from the side. Great cameras and awesome resolution.

    Phone has been amazing well worth upgrading from the s23 ultra. Battery life lasts substantially longer despite same battery. Everything is very smooth, Privacy display is a nice feature camera is good but not too much of a change besides the stabilizer.

    I normally buy new Galaxy Ultra directly from Samsung, but this year I ordered it from Best Buy as they doubled memory for the price of the 256 GB S26 Ultra. New phone was delivered on time and I received a full refund for my S24 Ultra without delay.

    The sell point to me has always been the camera on any new Samsung phone. The other sell point was Best Buy doubled the gigabytes from 256 to 512. No other carrier including Samsung did that. Best Buy offered it free where others charged you for it.

    The camera is amazing even though it did not have a big improvement, the phone has an incredible feel and is well built. The Samsung ecosystem is known for its incredible usability and compatibility, which makes it a great experience.

    Not really an improvement over my S23 ultra

    The S26 ultra touts a couple of new features, notably 25 watt wireless charging and a privacy display screen. The fast charging requires that you have a case with a magnet, it doesn't work with the bare phone. It doesn't work with most cases, either, because they're too thick or don't align precisely. I have a Zagg "Crystal Palace" case, and I haven't seen anything faster than 12 watts. The privacy display works, but the screen appearance degrades significantly with it on, and the screen's still quite readable at up to about 45 degrees. If you're buying the S26 ultra for this feature, you'll probably be disappointed. The S26U has a faster processor, but that only really matters if you play graphic-intensive games on your phone. I play games, but only really on my PC or tablet, and many phone games aren't that demanding. The S26U is still a good phone, just probably not worth the upgrade if you own a high-end phone that's only a few years old.

    • Brand response from Samsung
      Posted .

      Hi there GusS, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. We appreciate your constructive input as we improve our product line to best suit the needs of our customers. The new Galaxy S26 Ultra is a prominent upgrade from the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It features a faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and 60W charging. It's noticeably lighter as well at 214g vs the Galaxy S23 Ultra at 234g, thinner at 7.8mm vs 8.9mm; the S26 Ultra offers a refreshed design, stronger armor aluminum, and superior display anti-reflective coating. You are correct about wirelessly charging your device as the Galaxy S26 Ultra lacks built-in magnets thus requiring magnetic cases for charging in this method. The new Maximum Privacy protection mode has been designed to enhance privacy effects more than the standard Privacy mode. In this mode, pixel operation control is used to strengthen privacy effects, which may cause slight color changes or a blurry appearance on the screen. While this increases privacy protection, it may also make the screen appear somewhat hazy. If you find this uncomfortable, we recommend using the standard Privacy mode. Rest assured, this is not a product issue, so you can continue using it with confidence. If you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like further assistance, please feel free to reach out to Support. Thank you for being a dedicated Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung

    The phone is very smooth, lots of features and the camera is amazing. I went from the galaxy s22ultra to 26ultra and it was worth it. The battery life is also amazing and the built in privacy screen is a really nice added feature.
