Customer Ratings & Reviews

The samsung S26 is a solid phone with a bright display, fast performance, and a clean design that I really enjoy. I love the battery life and the bright crisp photos I am able to take with it. I am always recommending it to my friends and family

Absolutely blown away by the Galaxy S26 Ultra! This phone is an absolute powerhouse and easily the best upgrade I’ve made in years. The display is insanely sharp and vibrant everything from streaming videos to just scrolling feels next level smooth. Battery life is a beast. I can go all day (and then some) without stressing about charging, even with heavy use. The camera system is on another level too crisp, detailed shots in any lighting, and the zoom is honestly kind of unreal. Performance is lightning fast. Apps open instantly, multitasking is seamless, and gaming runs like a dream. Plus, the design feels super premium and comfortable in hand. If you’re on the fence don’t be. This phone delivers on every level and then some. Worth every penny.

I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and the performance jump is noticeable. The new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor makes multitasking between heavy apps feel effortless. One of my favorite new additions is the Privacy Display feature. It uses angled pixels to make the screen much harder for people sitting next to me to see, which is great for commuting. The 200MP camera still takes incredible photos, especially at high zoom, and the battery easily lasts me 1.5 to 2 days on a single charge with regular use. The design feels premium with the titanium frame, and the slightly more rounded corners make it more comfortable to hold than previous models. If you're looking for the best Android experience available right now, this is definitely it.

Coming from the S23 Ultra, the refinements on the Galaxy S26 Ultra are immediately noticeable. The hand use and overall ergonomics are significantly better—it feels much more balanced and comfortable to hold during long days. The display is absolutely stunning, making everything from editing documents to viewing AI-generated images look incredibly crisp and vibrant. Where this phone truly shines, though, is the unique video camera stabilization. Trying to film a highly energetic Border Collie mix usually results in shaky, unusable footage, but the S26 Ultra captures everything flawlessly smooth. Add in the vastly improved battery efficiency that easily powers through a full day of managing schedules for two teenagers without needing a top-off, and this is easily a five-star device, don't forget the fast charging, in 30 minutes boom.

Awesome battery life, blazing fast processor and takes great pics too. This phone is an upgrade from my Note 10. The battery was nearing the end of it's life. I pair my phone with my Samsung Watch for exercise, messages, etc..... I considered going to the new Apple phone, but that would mean purchasing a new Apple watch to go along with it. The only cons is the price. With tax, it was about 1,400 bucks. About the price of a new gaming PC. LOL

Love this new phone, the camera!!! Amazing , it takes amazing pictures. Its fast and secure. Battery lasts, provacy display is a great feature.

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.

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.

I recently had the opportunity to use the Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with its camera capabilities. The camera delivers stunning clarity and vibrant colors, making it ideal for capturing both everyday moments and special occasions. I also appreciate the privacy screen feature, which provides an added layer of security and peace of mind. The device offers a seamless user experience with its intuitive interface and powerful performance. Overall, I find the Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra to be a reliable and enjoyable choice for those seeking a high-quality smartphone.

It's and excellent upgrade over my s23 Ultra. It's quite a bit faster. I really like the privacy display options, I use it continuously on incoming alerts and passwords and it's flawless. I switch to full screen when I'm at the gym on the treadmill. The battery life is what has impressed me the most. Both how much longer it lasts and how fast it van charge. The most props goes to Bestbuy though, as they had the best pre-order offer and the entire process from orderding to returning my trade in went smoothly. Thank you Bestbuy.

I like the way it looks, light weight excellent camera,fast charge and stay longer with charging

Still I feel overall performance are really good. Camera, quality , speed, battery life are good other than products I used.

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

GoodThe device offers an exceptional user experience with its impressive features. Its performance consistently meets and exceeds expectations, making daily tasks effortless. The camera system captures stunningly detailed photos and videos in any lighting condition. Furthermore, the battery life is remarkably long-lasting, ensuring you stay powered throughout the day. Overall, this is a truly outstanding piece of technology.

Amazing camera quality, very easy to use. The battery last for a long period of time making me barely charge it. All the new features are great and makes the phone feel way more advanced.

I’ve been using the S26 Ultra for a week now, and Samsung really nailed the refinements this year. The new Privacy Display is a game-changer—it’s great knowing the person sitting next to me on the train can’t read my texts. It feels noticeably lighter than the S25, and the move to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 makes everything feel instantaneous. If you’re looking for a phone that does everything at a pro level, this is it.

Excellent phone! The display is bright and beautiful, the camera takes amazing photos, and the performance is incredibly fast. Battery life has been great so far, and the overall quality feels premium. Very happy with my purchase.

The phone is great as expected although the display has gotten worse from the S25 Ultra it still holds to be top quality screen despite the compromise for the privacy screen, which hopefully improves over in time. The customization that the phone offers this year is unprecedented, allowing me to customize my phone in ways I never even realized. Battery size seems to not have been improved from the last couple of years which is not surprising as costs are rising. The camera is phenomenal, offering professional grade photography that most people will probably never use but it's great that it's there, although, a major pet peeve that I do have is that focusing on objects close up is near impossible, which hopefully gets improved later. The AI features are what I expected them to be, features that most people don't use and can be considered bloat to advertise the phone, some features though are useful like the live translations and transcription and spam call assist are pretty cool. The performance of the phone is amazing, it is without a doubt, the best performing phone on the market, being able to become even a desktop with Dex. Overall, the phone is a great step towards progress that really teases what the future holds for smart phones and really showcases what smartphones are capable of by being a supercomputer in your pocket.

Ive had the phone for 2 weeks now. So far, no major gripes with the screen like people say. It does get a bit pixellated but only on privacy mode. I switched it in settings to use the maximum resolution and a keep my brightness above 40%. That said, the privacy display helps but isnt as private as expected, the angle viewable is still pretty wide. The tech and implementation especially the software level felt a bit rushed. Im positive it will improve with time. One annoyance is turning on privacy for notifications make them difficult to read fron a vertical angle if the phone is flat on a table in front of me -- id have to be bent directly over the phone to read them. And it only applies to pop up notifications the ones in the pull down notification menu are not private. I think samsung switching to a thinner font has reduced readability overall, especially in privacy mode and it might have been purposefully done to reduce visibility at angles. But i can see this happening on older phones as well... A gripe i do have is the phone is wider than my old 23ultra which makes one handed texting and typing cumbersome. Im constantly missing keystrokes. My hands are between glove size small to medium mens for reference. The improved aspect ratio is nice for content but i preferred the taller slimmer design and curved display edges of my old ultra. The S pen is thinner and feels more delicate, I also have had it click out while in my pocket due to it being closer to the corner of the phone and less flush.... Vibration settings by default are less pronounced so im going to have to dig into settings to try and fix that. I really like the new default notification sounds its much smoother than my old s23 The phone is much faster than my old s23 and battery life is about 20-30% better so thats a huge plus. It also felt much mugh lighter in my hands and i would honestly prefer it had a little more heft/presence. Camera is a bit underwhelming so far. I think the software wasnt ready yet. For example I noticed when switching lensesthe photos dont have the same tonal ranges and colors. Focusing is slow and janky sometimes.

I'm loving my new phone. Camera, customizations, speed, and graphics are great in my opinion. Delivery was a real hassle. Which is why I gave 4 stars. I received an empty box from FedEx on 3/11. Immediately called Best Buy CS. Was told to go to the store in 2 days (3/13) and a replacement would be waiting. I called on 3/12 to confirm that the replacement was ready and was assured it was. I show up on 3/13 and was told by store personnel that there is a process in which to go through and that usually take at least 5 business days. The store personnel was great and understood my frustration as I had driven 45 mins to be told there was nothing they could do. I was informed that their CS was actually located in a completely different country and they truly don't know what goes on in each individual store. I left the store and immediately called CS again and vented my frustrations. I was told that my issue would be prioritized and I would receive and email within 24 hours. Roughly 48 hours later, I get the email and send the requested information and within a few mins of sending that email, they released the replacement phone. Had CS been up front about their process, a lot of my frustrations wouldn't have even happened. There needs to be better communication from CS to the customer. Best Buy did make everything right and I received my replacement as promised. I want to thank the store personnel at the Lexington, SC location for being up front and explaining everything and taking the time to help me through this whole process. FYI, don't ship electronics to your home if there's an option for pick up in the store. Apparently, delivery drivers like to cut a little slit in the corners and take the product before it reaches you. Ship to store and pick up there is best. My lesson was certainly learned and will follow this going forward!!
