Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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.

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.

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.

The s26 ultra is a lot lighter and faster the previous generations. It has 65w charging capacity which can get to 80% in 30 minutes. I like the phone, specially with the big promotion from Samsung

Good solid phone the privacy screen works well. The video recording features are amazing. The only thing is the screen response is a lacking a bit but other than thag is a good purchase if your looking for a built in security features and video recording.

Amazing smartphone! Beautiful display. Super fast. Go crazy with customization. AI is excellent. S Pen very useful. If you want the Best, this is it! Love Good Lock, Secure Folder and Samsung Notes! Cameras are unbelievable!

To anyone considering an upgrade look no further the S26 Ultra is your phone.Almost like having a mini computer/expensive camera rolled in one you won't regret the switch or upgrade for all iPhone users come to the darkside

Solid phone, haven't had any issues with the screen like some have reported. Traded in my s25 Ultra, so not a large difference. I use a case, and so it does take a fingernail to extract the s-pen. No real complaints here.

S26 Ultra, so far liking it. My only current issue is that the bluetooth disconnects by itself. By the looks of it other people are having the same issue. Other than that its a great phone. S25 seems sturdier imo. Im definitely liking the privacy screen. Battery definitely last a long time. Sometimes i use it all day and it has Battery until the next day.

I upgraded from S23 and yes it's definitely a upgrade. Processor is faster, camera is better, battery..wow hard to believe it's same size. Charging is faster. Ease of use is significantly improved with the AI stuff.

The display is absolutely stunning bright, sharp, and incredibly smooth. Whether I’m watching videos, browsing, or gaming, everything looks crisp and vibrant. Samsung really nailed the screen quality on this one.

I worried a lot about the screen after reading reviews, but it has been plenty bright enough and viewable at an angle. Mail ordered it so I could copy everything over before sending my old phone for trade-in.

Great Phone, Great purchase. I have had a google pixel phone for a while now. I am so happy that I switched back to Samsung. Wish best buy had the pink phone color option, but I got purple instead.

I’m glad I got it, especially with the trade-in promotion. I had the Samsung S23 Ultra and thought there was no way to improve it, but the Samsung S26 Ultra feels like a noticeable upgrade.

Samngung never disappoints. Am.very satisfied with this product. The camera works amazing. Would highly recommend this phone.And using my best buy credit card helps for no interest for 24 months

I've had this phone for about a month or so far it's been perfect. 20 of power to do everything that I need. I love to display. Don't really use a privacy display but that's pretty decent also.

I bought this phone for the s-pen and the camera. It takes great pictures and the s-pen lets you be creative with them. The phone screen is crisp and the speakers in it aren't bad either.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerful, high-end phone with great performance and camera, and buying it from Best Buy is a smart choice for better deals, easy returns, and reliable service.

Great hardware. Great photos. Speedy system. Top of the line Android phone. As a negative, the battery doesn't hold up as well as, say, a OnePlus phone. Barely get a full day with very light use. Possible software issue-I sometimes get ghost rings after calls have been completed on the voice app (no pattern).
