    Higher expectations

    I had a S23 ultra, which I loved. I decided to go for the S26 ultra with high expectations. I don't see a huge difference. The screen quality is unmatched, and the 60W fast charging is a welcome (and overdue) improvement. Pros: The 5x optical zoom is crisp even at 50x digital, and the anti-reflective coating is better than ever. Cons: It is still a massive smart phone. If you don't like "brick" style phones, you might struggle with one-handed use. Also, the camera bump is huge, definitely buy a solid case at Best Buy when you pick this up.

    This phone runs more smoother, and charges very fast. The toggable privacy screen makes opening bank or sensitive information in oublic more comfortable withiut any peeps. Resolution is more smoothly but doesn't have much glare protection, probably for the privacy screen. Battery last the WHOLE day only ever charge once per day

    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.

    I came from an iPhone and briefly played with the Pixel 10 and also the Fold 7, but in the end, this phone is the sweet spot. Polished OS with the same Google apps, making it feel like an iPhone, yet more polished experinac ethan the Pixel phone. Bright screen and lots of customization options. I only use the screen privacy fro banking app, which is nice when in the store or traveling. I really don't use the pen, but neat feature. Photo are crips and excellent zoom quality.

    Excellent performance, amazing camera and battery life — feels premium, though upgrades over last model are incremental. Handles day-to-day tasks smoothly with no lag, even with heavy apps and multitasking. Battery easily lasts a full day with regular use, which makes it very reliable.

    Been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a little while now and honestly it’s great. Super fast, battery lasts all day, and the camera quality is really nice. Definitely a solid upgrade.

    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.

    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.

    Much like the sky blue that I previously reviewed, this phone is an excellent addition to the Samsung line and provides a wonderful option when looking to upgrade from an older version. The price is honestly not that bad, considering I paid the same amount for a new Samsung five years ago. If you're looking to save money, using a phone carriers contract plan will probably be a good option. The phone is a little bulkier than the previous models and has a sturdy feel to it. The product works as it states it will and is certainly a pretty color.

    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.

    Coming from a Fold 6 I was super happy to have a screen that wasn't super narrow anymore. The speed was noticable on this phone. If I were to compare the two phones I would say that the S26 Ultra was super fast. Apps would load almost instantly while the Fold 6 would lag slightly. You'll notice how zippy things are when opening and running apps like Instagram. The privacy screen is super useful and the screen is plenty bright when it's off. The cameras are top-tier. If you shoot in LOG the video quality is AMAZING! It isn't as detailed as a 1-imch sensor camera like the OSMO Pocket 3 of course, but you do get that DSLR type vibe when you add LUTs. Not only that, you get Horizontal Lock which stabilized footage for you. Samsung outdid themselves with this release. Oh and night shots are better too ^_^

    I love this phone! It's quick and snappy to use. The camera is fantastic, but I definitely recommend getting camera lens protectors that are compatible with a MagSafe case. Those are a must have in my opinion! I neglected to get camera lens protectors and now I'm waiting for a new lens after a nasty drop on rough blacktop. Good news is the lens is replaceable without taking the whole phone apart. Which is very new for Samsung. Usually you have to take it apart. 25w wireless charging is really nice, but it's difficult to find chargers that support the Samsung charging protocols. Most 3rd party 25w wireless chargers only fully support the iPhone unfortunately. Hopefully more manufacturers update their products soon.

    Awesome phone by Samsung - privacy display is cool, improved performance, battery and speakers! Could have made a better video camera and improved the battery life even more (which is already impressive than previous Samsung phones)

    Better than Apple Pro Max. Great camera. I have been an Apple person for years, but being converted to Samsung a few years ago. However, I have to say this new version of Galaxy Ultra surpassed the previous models, I have used, even the Z Fold 5. I'm actually surprised when I heard a few people feeling shocked as they notice my phone looks nothing different from the Pro Max they're using, if not better. There are so many people out there still believe Apple is the best mobile phone on the market and disregard Samsung's innovative and quality. I meant... really, living under a rock? Anyway, worth every penny. And I'm planning to keep this phone for a while.
