    After five loyal years with my trusty Galaxy S21 Ultra, I finally made the leap to the Galaxy S26 Ultra in Cobalt Violet, and I am absolutely blown away by the evolution in just a few generations. Samsung hasn't just tweaked the formula; they've completely refined it. ​My absolute favorite standout feature has to be the innovative privacy display. The ability to manually activate it based on the specific apps I'm using is a total game-changer for reading sensitive information in public spaces. Even better, it completely eliminates the need to spend money on those cheap, aftermarket privacy screen protectors that inevitably ruin the screen's natural clarity and brightness. It is built-in genius that works exactly when I need it to. ​As someone with a demanding, on-the-go schedule, the super-fast charging is a literal lifesaver. A quick top-up gives me a massive boost in battery life in mere minutes, completely wiping out any battery anxiety during long days. ​Finally, the display and overall performance are nothing short of breathtaking. The screen is vibrant, impossibly bright even in direct sunlight, and buttery smooth. Coupled with the absolute powerhouse processor under the hood, jumping between heavy apps and multitasking is completely effortless. ​If you are holding onto an older device like the S21 series and wondering if it's time to upgrade, don't hesitate. The S26 Ultra is a flawless matsterpiece that delivers on every single front. Highly recommended!

    [Employee of samsung-en_nz] I am one of the lucky ones to have my hands on the S26 Ultra. I took it to the lantern festival and took a lot of epic photos of the lights and fireworks. what really surprised me was I found out i took the exact same photo with my daughter who is on A33 - both photos are great but then i realized hers only got the fireworks in terms of brightness (we both just point and shoot) but mine, the S26 Ultra actually captured all the color variations that the human eye saw. The hint of purple, red and orange, the sparks, smoke - those are all there whereas my daughter's photo was just a bright yellowish sparkle.

    I recently upgraded to a S26 Ultra from a Samsung Flip 5. Although I like my Flip 5, these old eyes are not getting younger, so the larger screen is VERY welcomed! The color and clarity of the screen is absolutely stunning. I already had to use the new privacy screen feature to keep a nosey seat mate on a recent flight from seeing my texts, as well as blocking out every password I needed to type in to my banking apps. Also, compared to my Flip 5, charging is lightening quick! I can get this phone from 40% to 80+ in literally minutes!!! This makes uSing the phone during travel a no worry situation, since I can gain large percentage of power during a short layover. Another feature I am loving is the new camera. Not only do I have a wider lense, but the zoom is amazing at up to 100 times zoom. AI features allow me to make shots of my friends, hilarious. I can take any other picture and correct issues or even remove people from the shot. The additional AI features allow me to add quick appointments from text messages as well as prepare for sleep by getting my evening brief, that also includes a rundown of the days headlines. Overall, this phone blows me away, and I'm very glad I made the update!

    I am really digging the new phone overall because the features are just top-notch. It performs exactly how I wanted and handles everything I throw at it. Unfortunately, I have to mention that the camera glass seems to be quite fragile. Mine cracked way too easily after just a little bit of normal use. It is a massive bummer considering how much I enjoy using the rest of the device. I wish the build quality in that specific area was a bit more durable. Despite that one annoying issue, I still think it is a fantastic piece of tech. I would definitely recommend it to others as long as they are extra careful with the lenses. And I chose to opt for a phone case with camera protector to fix this issue

    The Galaxy S26 Ultra packs a massive battery that easily lasts all day without a single charge. Thanks to its incredibly fast charging speed, a quick boost in the morning is all I need to power through the entire day. ​The camera performance is a massive leap forward compared to my previous phone, and the 100x zoom is simply fantastic. ​One standout feature is the new Privacy Display. Being able to customize it for individual apps—like banking or message notifications—is an absolute game-changer for privacy. ​In terms of performance, it handles every app and game with extreme smoothness and power. What impressed me the most is that I barely felt any heat even during heavy use, which is a huge plus in my book. ​Truly the perfect smartphone.

    It feels like a refined powerhouse, finally ditching the sharp corners for a lighter, rounded design that is much easier to hold. It's standout Privacy Display is a game-changer for commuters like me allowing to hide sensitive on-screen info from prying eyes at the tap of a button. Performance is flawless thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, though the jump to 60W charging still feels a bit behind some competitors. The camera remains king of zoom, now boosted by an f/1.4 aperture that makes night shots look incredibly natural and bright. It’s the ultimate "no-compromise" phone for 2026, especially if you value ergonomics and privacy as much as raw power.

    I was planning on upgrading, but I was taking my time and then I finally ended up being forced to upgrade because my other Samsung phone was stolen. But I'm so glad I did. I still haven't used every feature of my phone, but what I have used alot is the camera, and it is sooo awesome. The pictures and videos are so crisp and so clean! I am on the video team at my church and our pictures and videos for social media are fire! I am so glad I chose this phone.

    I preordered this phone when the window was open and I must say I have been glued to every feature there is in it. The camera is fire(you know what I mean. The displays are incredible: clean, smart, swift and the phone colors are dope. Battery level is crazy. I don't use 80% in a day despite being out for more then 10 hours in a day - it'sgoing to last long as the day goes by. I know i do not use devices till they are weak or spoilt, but i am sure this phone has the capacity for anything. It is reliabe and durable. The overall performance of this phone is 10000%. It's amazing to be honest. I can definitely go on and on. The phone is sleek and top-notch. 😉

    I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra and I have to say it’s a very impressive device. The performance is fast and smooth, the display is beautiful and easy on the eyes, and the camera is absolutely excellent sharp, accurate, and delivers great photos even in low light. It’s definitely one of the standout features of the phone. The only downside for me is the camera design it sticks out quite a bit, so when the phone is placed on its back it tends to wobble slightly. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s something you do notice. Overall, it’s a fantastic phone with a great user experience, and I’m really happy with it

    I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a little while now, and overall it’s one of the most complete smartphones I’ve owned. The standout feature is definitely the camera. Photos are incredibly sharp in daylight, with great color accuracy and dynamic range. Low-light performance is also noticeably improved — night shots come out brighter and cleaner without looking over-processed. The zoom is another highlight; being able to get clear shots at longer distances is genuinely useful, not just a gimmick. The display is stunning as expected from Samsung — bright, smooth, and easy to see even outdoors. Watching videos or just scrolling feels premium. Performance is also top-tier; everything runs fast and smoothly, from everyday apps to gaming, with no noticeable lag.

    I absolutely love using my Galaxy S26 Ultra! The display is incredibly fast, bright, and clear, and I especially love the privacy screen mode, which gives me extra peace of mind when entering logins or viewing sensitive information in public. I’ve been using Samsung phones for years, and I’ll continue choosing Samsung. The camera quality is outstanding, and the ability to connect my phone with my Samsung appliances and TVs makes everything work together seamlessly. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is more than just a phone—it’s practically a computer in your pocket. Samsung continues to deliver the quality, features, and technology that keep me coming back!

    I've been a samsung fanatic since the slide phones many years ago. I had every note that came out and then the S series. I was excited when the pen came with the S series. I know there is a competing market for smart phones but I chose Samsung. I've experienced other brands I have been super disappointed. Samsung has always exceeded my expectations and I cannot wait to get the new S27 when it arrives in Feb. As a fan that has always had Samsung electronics , which includes . My entire kitchen , washer and dryer , vacuum, hair dryer , earbuds , TVs and watches. I will always choose Samsung. Never disappointed, always amazes me! I chose samsung!

    This phone is phenomenal. I'm upgrading from the S24 Ultra and I thought that there wouldn't be a noticeable difference but my-oh-my... this phone has surpassed my expectations in every single way. The battery is so much longer (even though it's the same size as in the S24 Ultra), the camera is just so smooth and crisp, the display is noticeable brighter and sharper (don't even get me started on that Privacy Display feature), and last but not least the Performance. Every single app of mine loads noticeably quicker than my previous phone. It honestly feels like this phone is running on a Ferrari engine!! Totally in-LOVVEE with my new phone.

    The Galaxy S26 ultra is my 4th phone in the ultra series.I previously have had the s23-25 Ultra. I use these for my work phone. The work profile or company profile in the operating system is exceptional. It makes worth life home life balance, ideal. I chose the S26 ultra because of the increased battery capacity in the new processor but the integrated Gemini features I use AI heavily for work whether it's copilot Gemini or Claude, they all work smoothly on this device with enough capacity and memory to handle anything, I throw at it. And I will continue to buy samsung products simply because of the quality and the premier business functionality.

    I've owned almost every Galaxy S series phone over the years, so I've seen how they've evolved. Most recently, I went from the Galaxy S22 Ultra to the S24 Ultra, then tried the Galaxy Fold 7. While the Fold wasn't really for me, moving back to the Galaxy S26 Ultra has reminded me why I enjoy the Galaxy S series so much. The S26 Ultra feels like a true premium flagship. The display is stunning, performance is incredibly smooth, the battery life is excellent, and it has everything I need for both work and everyday life. Samsung has done an outstanding job with this phone, and I can confidently recommend it to anyone considering an upgrade.

    Received on Tuesday, and I absolutely love it. The look of this phone is really nice and the colour. The display is brilliant, battery life is just as good as previous models if not better. The ultra zoom on this phone is absolutely brilliant. Unlike previous models, it clears once the photo is taken and the quality is great and great overall. Although its the same MPs as my previous s24ultra, its more crisp some how. It has never crashed or stuttered once. Good instructions on how the use the phones features. Smooth all round. However, I will add the pen doesn't feel great. It feels like it could easily break, but it doesn't effect the use. Just be abit weary when you do.

    Been a long time Samsung supporter. The phones over the years have had their ups and downs, just like any company. I was just expecting an update to what i already had. But let me tell you, absolutely surprised at what I now have. In all categories... speed- not a bump but a hurdle ahead of my old ultra. Display- unbelievable, the colors, clarity and sharpness, makes my whole experience with the S26 ultra phenomenal. Processing- hands down has made my life easier doing business and or just scrolling through websites and watching shows. So happy I made the choice to get this phone. Highly recommend to do the move and go to this S26 ultra...

    I chose to upgrade my phone to a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and I'm glad that I did. The upgraded version has rounded corners versus the older version boxier style which for myself personally wore holes in my jeans back pockets over time. The S pen also fits the phone more snug which I like. I also chose this phone for the built in privacy screen for additional security and it cease to amaze me. I'd recommend anyone looking to upgrade to a sleek, advanced, functioning multi purpose phone to consider the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or any of the phones in the Samsung line up.

    Its been nearly 4 days i have had this phone, and its the best...upgraded from the pixel 6a (also had the s9+), this phone is leagues better than ay phone i have till now used. The cameras are great, the privacy display feature is an absolute fav feature and to me it is a game changer. Battery lasts me easy for atleast 2 days for my usage (taking photos, social media, spotify, and video calls). And the 1440p resolution screen, crisp sharp and bright love it. Got the 512gb for the price of 256gb and couldnt be happier. Over the User jnterface has been smooth (way better than what i used on s9+ matter of fact better and smoother than my pixel surprisingly). No regrets what so ever.

    I have had cheaper but durable rugged type phones and wanted to get a samsung to go with my watch to track my health fully. I was bit worried the S26 Ultra would be too precious and flimsy for me. Things like the torch not being as bright as my rugged phone and definately the battery not lasting as long. I was proven wrong on both and the deals at the time were too good to pass up on the ultra. Ended up cheaper than the 26 plus i was looking at for 512GB too. So i pulled the trigger and am very happy. Truth be told the ultra is a bit too much phone for me including the S Pen, but am still glad I got it. So many features. And with a case and the IP68 rating I don't worry as much about banging it around.

    I had been doing just fine with my S22 Ultra, but I chose to finally upgrade, and I couldn't be happier. Absolutely awesome battery life. The cameras are even better (I didn't think that was possible). Overall form factor and user interface is great. I feel like I have challenged this device in every way I possibly can, and it just keeps coming back for more. The only con I have (and its very minor) is the reduced functionality of the S-Pen. I got accustomed to using it to remotely control my camera, but sadly that functionality is gone. Im sure there was some solid reasoning behind it, but that is my only gripe. I am so glad I chose to finally upgrade!

    I chose this phone originally chose this phone because I needed an upgrade from the Note 20 Ultra I was holding unto. I wanted my new phone to have a pen as well. Then I saw the built in privacy screen and I just knew I had to have this phone. This phone has exceeded my expectations. Samsung has always had an excellent camera, but this one is the best thus far. From the messaging being able to be customized, to me literally being able to do everything from my day to day life through my phone, I absolutely love it. I call my phone "my own personal assistant" because thats exactly what it is. It does everything but laundry and cook!

The S26 plus with 512gb has revolutionised my entire existence and being I feel like I can handle all of life's challenges with this device. Its camera quality is crystal clear allowing for me to zoom in and out seamlessly. I would 100% reccomend samsung as somebody who has used this line of smartphones for the past 6 years. The S26 line surpasses any other competitors in this current market for how functional and multifaceted it is. An outstanding product that I couldn't reccomend any further. I'll attach a photo and a video of me taking a picture of my jacket using this camera I also used the smooth zoom feature

    A random Saturday my Galaxy S19 died. In the store I go, I reviewed a variety of different phones & landed on the S26 Ultra. I chose this phone because of the screen quality when watching movies, the return of the S-Pen for this model. I previously had a Galaxy Note & missed having this feature. The functionality & multi use screens are essential when multitasking. I've had the phone for 9 months & its been a breeze to work with. Although I'm not big on AI, every program works well without the use of it. I've had nothing but Samsung phones for over 10 years & the S26 Ultra has been the best by far.

    The Galaxy S26 Ultra has excellent battery life—it easily lasts me all day, even with heavy use, unlike my S24. The display is outstanding, and I really like the privacy screen, which makes it more comfortable to use in public. The camera produces sharp, professional-looking images, giving photos a high-quality finish. The S26 Ultra also delivers excellent performance thanks to its powerful processor. Everything runs smoothly, whether I'm multitasking, browsing the web, chatting, or attending online meetings. Despite being a heavy user, the phone stays cool throughout the day and doesn't overheat, which is impressive. Overall, the durability and performance have been excellent for my daily needs.

    ​I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra to serve as an all-in-one productivity hub and creative daily driver, and it has easily exceeded expectations. ​From day one, the hardware refinement stands out. The slightly slimmer profile and subtle curve along the edges make it noticeably more comfortable to hold for hours compared to older blocky designs. The 6.9-inch display is hands-down the best screen on any mobile device—reading outdoors in direct sunlight is completely effortless thanks to the anti-reflective glass coating. ​Multitasking is where this device truly shines in my routine. Switching between intensive work tasks, digital marketing apps, and heavy media editing is completely seamless without a hint of throttling or slowdown. The built-in S Pen continues to be an essential tool for signing documents, sketching quick concepts, and fine-tuning details on the go. ​The camera system is equally impressive. The main sensor captures incredibly sharp low-light shots with zero shutter lag, and the telephoto zoom retains crisp clarity whether capturing conference slides or outdoor scenery. Battery life easily powers through 7 to 8 hours of heavy screen-on time with 25 to 30 percent left at bedtime, and the upgraded 60W wired charging tops it up rapidly when needed. It handles every professional and personal demand effortlessly.

    I live the Samsung Galaxy S series. In particular, I chose the S25 Ultra model for the extra speed and storage capacity. The phone is amazing and allows multi-tasking, photo editing, and so many neat attributes it's hard to name them all. The only ding in my book was the flashlight brightness on the S25 is a huge downgrade compared to the previous model i had, S23 Ultra. Not a huge deal, but the flashlight was stellar on the S23. I love the S pen, too, but it is not friendly with magnetic cases (understandably, so I just remove the case to use it). I would still choose the Galaxy S series over and over again. Go get one!

The screen is excellent for streaming games, movies, and sports. It's also solid for work and school, especially when multitasking, taking notes, browsing, or staying connected. Overall, it feels like an all-in-one device that handles entertainment, productivity, school, work, and everything else, without missing a beat. It's fast, smooth, reliable, and makes daily routines feel a bit easier, a bit more seamless. And yeah, it actually keeps up with the pace of the day.

    I'm glad I chose the Samsung s26 Ultra as my new upgraded phone. I had the Google Pixel 8a and I thought the camera was good on it; But on the s26 Ultra from Samsung, the camera is phenomenal. I would choose the Samsung s26 Ultra any day over the Google Pixel. The images are so crisp and the colors are so vibrant. At first I was kind of downhearted that it didn't have night mode or astrophotography but after digging through the cameras functions, I discovered that it did and I have been outside just about every clear night since then. I would rate the s26 Ultra a 10 out of 10. So anyone choosing to buy a new phone, choose the Samsung s26 Ultra, you will not go wrong.

    I use my phone mainly for AI stories and creation. I also take photos of the moon and stars. I chose the S26 Ultra over any other device because it has the best camera out there, the best battery life, and it had a great trade in promo for my old phone. It has been one of the best phones that I've had. The only issue/problem I've run into with it, is if you use a screen protector, sometimes the touch sensors are finicky if you have the privacy display on at all times. The phone looks amazing and the privacy display is extremely useful and easy to use. I have the watch 9 40mm, the buds pro 4, and the S10 FE tablet. I love them all and they work extremely well together.

The camera is incredible in every situation, the battery easily gets me through the day, and the display is hands down the best I've ever used. The new privacy screen feature is one of my favourite additions—it gives me extra peace of mind when I'm using my phone in public. Overall, it's the first phone I've owned where I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Easily my favourite smartphone to date. P.s i love the pen and the pen up app cause when I have spare time I love to just colour in a quick picture or 2 😁

    I received my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra last week, and it’s honestly exceeded my expectations. The display is absolutely stunning—bright, smooth, and perfect for streaming and browsing. Performance feels incredibly fast, with everything running effortlessly, even heavy apps. The camera is a standout—I’ve been blown away by the clarity and zoom, especially in low light. Battery life easily lasts me 1.5 day with regular use. The design feels premium and solid in hand. I’ve also started using the S Pen more than I expected—it’s super handy. Overall, it feels like a complete upgrade in every way. Definitely one of the best phones I’ve used so far.

    I bought the new Samsung S26 Ultra several weeks ago and I am delighted with the new features. I upgraded from a Samsung S22 Ultra and I have found the battery, display and performance to be a massive improvement. The S26 Ultra has helped me increase my productivity through its innovative features and using the latest artificial intelligence algorithms. The camera and photography functions have helped me to produce professional photos and videos with ease. This is not just a mobile phone, it is a fantastic business machine with easy to use features, long battery life and due to the new chassis, it has great durability and feels lovely to use.

    Switched to S26 Ultra from Pxel 7 and have been lovinig it so far. Battery life is incredible and the camera shots are great. However, there are some downsides that I don't see much about. The S pen is basically useless without bluetooth integration. It is only useful if you are drawing or taking handwritten notes. The privacy feature at its maximum setting also causes a white/grey scale that covers the entire screen and makes the user experience much worse. All things considered, still a really solid phone with impressive benchmarks and performance. Customisation options with OneUI is amongst the best I've used as a life-long android user.

    I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra because it has the capability to become my personal assistant. I'm super busy between work, college, being a mom, and still living life, and my phone helps me to quickly add things to my schedule, remind me of upcoming events/assignments/plans, provide me with answers via the many AI options available, etc. One of my favorite things to do is take a screenshot of newsletters from my children's school and having Google add the dates/events to my schedule. Before, this used to be so time consuming and now it's 2 minutes at best. I also love how much can be customized on my phone tor reflect my personal style.

    The Galaxy S26 Ultra is an absolute powerhouse. It’s got a stunning 200MP camera system, a brilliant 6.9-inch AMOLED display, and a super-fast Snapdragon chip. Galaxy AI really stands out—it integrates smart features like real-time language translation, auto-editing in photos, and even personalized productivity suggestions. For streaming, it’s fantastic—HDR10+ support makes movies and sports look incredible, and the high refresh rate is perfect for gaming. Whether you’re working on the go or just relaxing, it handles everything with ease—so it’s a top-tier all-rounder. So happy I was able to upgrade from s24 ultra and get 800 trade in for it.

    I love the screen on the new Galaxy S26 Ultra! It is clear with vibrant colors. The privacy feature has been a great addition when entering passwords, sensitive information, and viewing banking information. Love the thought of using it on flights and the person next to me cannot see what I'm watching/doing. The new AI software has been a great addition to suggesting new settings to only allow necessary notifications instead of every alert from all apps. Using AI to search for products from a screenshot and editing photos have always been great and continue to be. Overall, I am very happy with the S26 Ultra as an upgrade from the S24 Ultra.

    “I chose the Galaxy Ultra 26, and honestly, I’m glad I did.” From the moment I picked it up, it felt like Samsung took everything I loved about their previous Ultra phones and refined it into something even better. The display is gorgeous, performance is incredibly smooth, the camera system is fantastic, and the overall feel of the phone is premium in every way. What really stands out to me is how effortlessly it handles everything I throw at it. Whether I’m gaming, taking photos, multitasking, or just using it throughout the day, it never feels like it’s struggling. It’s one of those phones that makes you appreciate having a flagship device.

    The S26 Ultra is nice. The privacy display is great. It is lighter then my S24 Ultra and the camera is great. If any of those features are what you are looking for then get it. My one complaint is that they took the blue tooth capability out of the S-Pen so I can not use my S pen as a camera remote anymore. Because the cameras are so good and the screen so big, my phone tends to get volunteered for group pictures and the S Pen having that function was the best thing ever. Had I known the S26 did not have that function with its S pen, I would not have purchased this phone and stuck with maybe the S25 or wait to see if they brought it back.

    So far I am amazed at with Samsung S26 ultra. From the smoothness of the display to the vibrant colors of my pictures. The galaxy AI has made it easier for my to navigate through my day. I use galaxy AI for majority of my activities on my phones: setting alarms, answering calls, andlooking up items in pictures. The new curve on the corners of the phone makes the phone easier and more comfortable in my hands. The battery lady all day with my heavy online gaming. I don't have to worry about plugging my phone into the charger. The phone does not overheat. Overall I am ecstatic about my new Samsung S26 ultra. I would highly recommend to anyone.

    I have been a fan of Samsung for many years. I always use the trade in program and trade for the latest phone. I love the features that Samsung Galaxy has, from taking great pictures of my family, even features that I didn't think I needed until I started to use them, such as the Privacy screen. I work with my phone, so no need to buy a privacy screen protector to keep clients identity private, I tried it and love it! I mean honestly, it's my second day and cannot way to try everything my new Galaxy has to offer. I have been using Galaxy AI writing assist to takes notes and summarize, which makes it so much easier as far as my job, lifesaver.

    I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra because I wanted a phone that could handle everything I use it for without slowing down. So far, I’ve been really happy with it. The display looks amazing, the phone is very fast, and the camera takes great pictures and videos. I mainly use my phone for streaming, social media, gaming, taking pictures, and staying connected throughout the day. Everything runs smoothly, even when I’m switching between different apps. I also really like the customization options and all the features Samsung includes. The battery life has been good for me, and the phone feels very premium and well-built. Overall, the S26 Ultra has been a great upgrade for me, and I’m really enjoying using it.

    I chose the s26 ultra simply for 1 thing. The privacy display. Long gone are the days of giving up enjoying an amazingly gorgeous view stuck behind an annoying privacy screen protector. In comes samsung with what has always been the greatest of innovations. Bringing g us the ability to share what we want with the public eye while offering privacy in the intimate moments such as in our gallery, reading text messages, opening banking apps or any of your choosing. Other than that, I have a love affair with samsungs customizing abilities, samsung doesnt sit on the cutting edge of thech. THEY ARE THE LEADING EDGE.

    I previously thought the Samsung S24 phone was the best phone I've ever owned but I recently upgraded from that to the Samsung S26 Ultra and I can really say that this is seriously the best phone I have ever used. The zoom on the phone camera is incredible and the screen is the perfect size for me too. The phone uses Corning Gorilla glass with ultra-high strength and a built-in anti-reflective coating so this is the first time that I do not need to use a screen protector with my phone. I got the phone during a secret sale on Samsung in August and it was the best deal I have ever gotten for a brand new phone. This phone was worth ever dollar.

    I bought my phone a month ago after using an IPhone for 4 years that I received as a gift from my brother. I've always been a samsung girl and to be honest after a few hours of using my new phone, I'm finally home. The battery life is amazing, its durable and as a carer I need to use my phone for work and having to go back home with battery I can use the next day is amazing. I looooove the camera 🥰🥰🥰 i can see every spot and wrinkle on my face 🤣 and the way my vegetable garden looks, its like the picture was taken in a studio🤣. The display and performance is on another level I can't wait to uncover hidden germs on my phone. I'm in love 😘

The display is incredibly smooth and bright, which makes watching videos and scrolling through apps really enjoyable. The performance is fast and everything runs without any lag. I’m also impressed with the camera quality. Photos look sharp and the colors are very natural. Battery life has been reliable and easily lasts throughout the day. Overall, the Galaxy S26 delivers a great combination of performance, design, and camera quality. Definitely a great upgrade from iPhone 16 pro max.

    the battery lasts longer that I expected. The privacy display is very helpful in my everyday financial transactions. The camera shots either for photo or video is great, the only disadvantage is the protruding camera at the back which affect the balance of the phone. The overall performance of the phone is highly rated due to its easy access of all apps, shortcut features, can smoothly control all my household Samsung products through smart things apps. The only question is the durability of the phone as it was made of aluminum rather than titanium. Overall, the Samsung S26 Ultra is much better from my previous one, which is Samsung S23 Ultra.

    I bought the s26 ultra and this is my experience of the unit so far, The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a top-tier flagship smartphone in 2026, offering an excellent 200MP camera with outstanding zoom and low-light performance, very fast and powerful performance for gaming and multitasking, and a bright, high-quality display—though its new privacy feature may cause slight eye strain for some users. It delivers solid battery life lasting around 1–2 days and features a premium, durable build, but overall improvements are incremental rather than groundbreaking, making it ideal for those upgrading from older models rather than recent Ultra devices.

    Excellent, current best in the market. Battery is very, very reliable, never let me down, fast charging is great. camera is great, software experience is the best, display is a little less bright due private display feature which a very useful feature but still wish it was a little more bright. Performance is super, no issues whatsoever of any type for my experience time. I had in cover from day 1 so no durability issue, I am enjoying the original screen without protection and the phone never heated even though I used it to shoot video for quite a long time, ultra series is really irreplacable, hope to see more of it in he future, Thank you.

    I have owned Samsung phones for over 10 years. And have always enjoyed them. But this release has been non stop issues with software and the Google RCS messages that has replaced Samsung messages. With all of the newer AI features that if you aren't paying attention will cause various bugs and glitches. I personally believe this model should have went through more testing before they released it. My phone has been replaced once already and it was only 14 days old. I wouldn't recommend this phone to my family or friends at this time. Samsung needs to reevaluate this phone and provide some patch updates to stabilize the over all user experience.

    I am kind of disappointed in the overal feature. I upgraded from a s22 ultra. The s26 ultra does not sit flat due to the bulky camera lenses, this also cuases issues with pulling your phone out of your pocket with something else in there. The s pen pops out in my pocket sometimes causing it to snag when reaching for phone. I would expect more features and speed compared to a 4 year old phone. The battery life is good if your not a gamer that use the phones full resources. If your a gamer expect to take a 20 min break every hour because quick charging the phone makes it so hot. I am disappointed I chose to stick with the ultra flagship phone.

    I have to mention the Privacy Display first. It is so convenient to use when out in public. There's no need to worry about nosy people being curious about what you're doing on your phone. The camera quality is superior. I'm still not used to constantly pulling out my phone to take pictures because I find the scenery to be beautiful and I know for a fact my phone would do it justice. The battery life is exceptional. Something else to get used to. The battery lasts all day with continuous video playback. I don't have to worry about charging my phone throughout the day. I find myself constantly showing off my S26 Ultra to my family and friends.

    This is the best I've ever used in my life. It has a great battery, so I could watch downloaded movies, watch YouTube, or play games all day long, and at the end of the day, the battery still holds a charge. I use the phone for work because it makes my life easier. For example, if I need to write a long message, I use Samsung Galaxy AI to make my messages sound more professional. The best part of the phone is the greatest camera. I use the camera instead of the microscope to zoom in on small objects to study them. When I use my phone in the subway, I always use the privacy screen feature in order not to let other customers see what I am doing.

I do a lot of work in radio communications, and have many apps on my phone that deal with rf and rig control, programming and other useful stuff. They work flawlessly. I do a most of my Financials with this phone, and haven't had a single problem with security of my banking or financial information. The camera on this S26 Ultra is AMAZING! And they added easy access to A.I. making it even more fun! If your on the edge, take the leap...you won't regret the Samsung S26 Ultra. It's the World at your Fingertips!

After taking the time to carefully review the detailed specs and performance features, I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to replace my previous phone. Having owned the Galaxy S24 Ultra, I already had incredibly high standards for speed, battery life, and display quality. However, seeing how much Samsung advanced the technology in this latest generation made it clear that this model was going to hands down be the best all-around smartphone on the market. It has completely exceeded my expectations, delivering a seamless, high-performance experience that makes the upgrade worth every single penny!

    I chose this device because I have used i think just about every galaxy device that's ever been released. I decided after my 25 ultra I would try out the pixel 10 pro XL and I cannot recommend that device due to the chip being too slow. My s26 ultra however breezes through every task I do without even a hiccup. This phone truly is a beast. Camera one of the best I have ever used, gaming performance is unreal and battery extremely long lasting. The privacy display is so good and works very well. I have my bank apps and wireless payment apps blocked with the screen. Truly an amazing phone and I would recommend it to anyone over alot of devices.

I chose this model so I was able to use a calendar to help keep the family on schedule. I also use it to send and receive emails, make sure I am taking my medication correctly, stream my many streaming services, listen to music constantly, keep in touch with friends and family, video call my business partners, and so I know what my daily tasks are on any given day. I wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't in my hand. I think I chose the perfect model for me!

    I chose the S26 Ultra because I wanted a phone with great speed, an excellent camera, and a high-resolution display. So far, I’m very happy with it. Everything feels fast and smooth, the screen looks amazing, and the camera quality is excellent. What I like most is how much I can actually get done on this phone. I can do almost everything I normally do on my desktop, including emails, documents, browsing, and other work tasks. Some days I don’t even turn on my PC because I can take care of everything directly from my S26 Ultra. It’s more than just a phone for me. It has basically become a portable work computer that I can carry everywhere.

    I love Galaxy AI. I can make changes and edits just by taking a simple photo. Using AI, I was able to create sample designs for my living room and my lanai, which made it much easier to visualize how everything would look before making any changes. Also love how easy Is the S Pen makes it simple to take notes, stay organized, and keep track of important things throughout the day. Galaxy AI has made helping me create ideas and edit photos faster. Between the S Pen, Galaxy AI, the amazing camera, and the long battery life, my Samsung phone helps me every day for work, family, and entertainment. Thank you, Samsung for make my life easier.

We take a ton of photos and videos of our little ones, and the quality is awesome! I mostly use my phone to listen to music and watch videos/movies. I use Galaxy AI to help organize my thoughts and manage my schedule.It's also great at helping assist with composing text and emails. The phone feels good in the hand and the build quality is incredible! Highly recommend if you're in the market for an upgrade or just looking for a quality product

From being able to run my graphic design business to winding down for game night, this Galaxy has it all! Storage was a key factor for me upgrading, as a graphic designer, photos and videos are all what my business runs on so having the capacity and GalaxyAi to help sort out my designs into neat and more frequently used categories for social media, make running my business much faster and easier then ever before. I'm thoroughly impressed by Samsung and their latest innovations in tech and I'm excited to see what Samsung comes up with next!

    Much faster, much responsive than any other samsung phone I have ever had. My previous phone was a S23 Ultra and the difference between just 3 years of technology is mind blowing. The camera quality is closer to reality than ever. No unnatural warpping was the biggest improvement. Display is bright. Battery life survives all day with everything pretty much turned on such as location Bluetooth and more. My previous S23 ultra didn't even RIP, it had 9 lives despite dropping it multiple times without any hard case on. I therefore know this new phone will be much more durable.

    Even if I use mobile data all day, my battery carries me through the day. I don't believe it's a smart idea to put the pen there because it is readily detachable and has a high chance of becoming misplaced.

    I bought this phone when it came out. Im happy of the battery and the speed that it charges at. 65w is pretty big upgrade from the standard 45w that were previously for a few years now. The camera itself is a bit better than the pevrious s25 ultra, but cant say much abou it as im not using it as a profesional. The new feature that I like is the privacy screeen. Just top notch. No comments on that and how it automatically switches th pixels from the display to do that is just magnific. Durability itself is not bad. Cant day there's an upgrade from the s25 as Im not dropping the phone and all the time theyre protected. Overall. Good impresion.

    I have been using Samsung for years now but this upgrade was long due and finally happened after 3 years. This is such an amazing upgrade!! I am loving all the S26 phone features - better camera, screen privacy display, longer battery life and above all the amazing AI assistant. I am someone who uses phone a lot due to work requirements and S26 has helped me automate quite a few of those things using AI. I am still learning and playing with the settings and usually find a new feature every time. Overall the phone is sleek and aesthetically pleasing to look all !! A must buy if you waiting to upgrade or looking for the best phone system.

    The Samsung Ultra 26 is fast, reliable, and very easy to use, making it a great option for both beginners and experienced users. The performance is smooth, whether you’re browsing the web, using apps, or multitasking throughout the day. One of its standout features is the screen, which looks sharp, vibrant, and clear in different lighting conditions. The added privacy function is especially useful, giving you peace of mind when using your device in public spaces. Another major advantage is the battery life, which comfortably lasts all day on a single charge, even with regular use. Overall, it’s a solid, well-rounded choice for everyday use.

    It's brilliant to hear that you're loving your S26 Ultra, Tyte! The performance is super fast and smooth as silk, no matter the task at hand, thanks to the powerful processor within. The 6.8-inch display is extremely immersive and delivers vibrant colours and crystal clear details, even in bright sunlight, and the interface is user-friendly and customisable. The Privacy Display is superb for those occasions where you want to hide your data, and the already large battery is further enhanced by both the processor and AI - ensuring supreme levels of reliability even on those busier days. Thank you for sharing your excellent review with us, and keep enjoying! ^EW at Samsung Support

    I’ve been using the Samsung S26 Ultra and it’s been a great experience so far. The phone is easy to navigate, super smooth, and very stable in everyday use. Apps open quickly and multitasking feels seamless. The camera quality is excellent, producing sharp photos with great colours in both daylight and low light. The screen is bright and clear, making videos and browsing really enjoyable. I also like the newer AI features that make things like photo editing and everyday tasks quicker and easier. Overall, it’s a powerful, premium phone with excellent performance, great camera quality, and smart features that make it enjoyable to use every day.

    I chose to say this about the S26 Ultra and S26 plus. Hands down 2 of the best phones I've ever owned with 1 exception on both models. The use of Google on a Samsung galaxy is to much. It gives Google control of the whole phone. Samsung should be ashamed of themselves for allowing another company to undermine what they have built. Security being #1. Google and their " developer" rolls bring Evil to the Samsung brand. Google has some amazing features for the good, and Google has some amazing features to use in Evil ways. That's why the 2 star was given for these 2 models that favor Google more than the company they built, Samsung galaxy!!!

    So far, I am very happy with my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. I chose this model mainly for the multiple cameras, and the pictures it takes genuinely compare to actual DSLR quality. The built-in AI is extremely helpful—I can even discuss my classes hands-free while I drive. The screen is incredibly sharp, and they seem to have completely fixed the overheating issue; I can stream full movies or play games for hours, and the phone still manages the heat really well. On top of all that, one of the best features is that the screen doesn't even need a protector. The whole phone is amazingly durable, which is great because I've dropped it multiple times!

    I have seen a lot of reviews on this phone on YouTube. A lot of people saying the screen is not as good as the s25 ultra. I don't see that at all. The screen seems brighter. I can't see the difference in quality of screen. And the Privacy features are great. The new AI editing tools for photos is awesome. The new Bixby with AI is in my opinion as good as Google Gemini and doing studies and asking in-depth questions. The battery life is great, and the phone is ultra responsive. The cameras are great. I understand there was no real big improvements in numbers but the photos coming out of the phone especially using 24 megapixels is fantastic

    I've had my Galaxy S26 Ultra since launch day and it has been amazing! It is noticeably lighter and thinner than the S25 Ultra, and the display looks incredible. The privacy feature is super useful when traveling and handling sensitive information in public. The cameras take amazing photos, with a noticeable improvement to night time photos, and the horizon lock feature works really well. Also the Galaxy AI features have improved quite a bit, particularly the implementation of Bixby and Perplexity, plus the Galaxy AI photo editing tools are even more powerful. Overall I really have no complaints, this is a very solid upgrade from last year!
