[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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. 😉

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first ever most expensive phone. I was looking forward to it since August 2025. I even bought Motorola just to try maybe I might like it but I didn't. I didn't like user interface of Motorola. It was getting on my nevers. Samsung was keep delaying it's launch date. I was getting more willing and curious about Samsung. So finally I bought it. It's best decision I have made. Very good speed, awesome camera features. Lots of battery features to adjust acxoring to your mood. Well don't want to say anything about memory and storage because both are more than enough(16/1TB). I will definitely recommend s26 ultra to you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has changed my life. Fast, responsive and powerful. 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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 recommended this product.
I like the size of Samsung S26. It is really perfect for a one hand hold. It's only been a few days since I purchased it, but so far. I like its performance.
Bought this phone on release, though the wait was the toughest part, after receiving it, I was very pleased! The camera was fantastic, the new stabilization mode was incredible! Another thing that blew me away was the new privacy display, it made the screen a little dimmer but gave the option to block the entire screen from an angle, or just notifications. It was made out of an old, refurbished material, but it's surprisingly durable! And the aluminum manages heat way better than the S25U! With its quick and efficient processor, the phone was able to respond even quicker than anything else I've used so far, and with that new processor the battery in the phone is even more powerful without needing to change! Overall, a solid device to upgrade to, depending on your needs!
I recommended this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a while now and I genuinely love it. Everything feels fast, smooth, and premium. 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 😁

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 recommended this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.
I recommended this product.
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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 😘

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a few weeks now and the performance is incredibly smooth, everything feels fast and effortless thanks to its upgraded processor and AI features. The camera is a standout, similar to the last model, photos are sharp, detailed, and impressive in low light. The design feels more comfortable to hold than previous models. I also really like the new privacy display feature, it’s something I didn’t think I needed, but now I use it all the time. Overall, it’s a powerful, reliable phone that delivers on both performance and everyday usability. Highly recommend if you want a true flagship experience.
I recommended this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this from last one week and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Battery life is great it lasts at least for 1 1/2 day despite a new phone and I'm sure it will last longer as it is still calibrating. The camera quality is also good and the new ALOP technology works better with larger aperture. Display quality is also great and antireflective and privacy display is amazing. Performance with the new snapdragon for the Galaxy is clocked very well and it's super snappy. I bought the storage optional of 1 TB as it comes with 16 GB of RAM for the future proofing In the nutshell I am thoroughly enjoying the phone and I'm very happy with my purchase .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Samsung Galaxy S26 for a short time, I can say it’s one of the best smartphones I’ve used. The design feels very premium and comfortable to hold. 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this phone a week ago and upgraded from the s24 ultra, I'm not often one t upgrade early on, but hearing about the privacy screen it intrigued me. I must say I'm overall impressed with how lighter the s26 ultra feels and the fact I got it at a decent price. The cameras are always amazing, felt alot brighter when taking photos in the dark. The performance is incredibly quick, battery lasts such a long time compared to the s26 ultra and charges quickly with the 60w charger. The display is smooth and perfect, much easier to change settings to fit your every need. The durability is strong and long lasting it seems so far since using
I recommended this product.
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.

Hi Romy, reading "I love Samsung" definitely put a smile on our faces! Thanks for continuing your Galaxy journey with us, and we're so happy your Galaxy S26 Ultra has been a worthy upgrade from your Galaxy 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 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.

Overall, it’s a powerful, premium phone with excellent performance, great camera quality, and smart features that make it enjoyable to use every day.

Like every phone before, I'm once again very pleased with my purchase of the new Galaxy S26 Ultra. Nothing disappointing about the phone, it delivers everything it promises and more. Always been a samsung guy, love the phones I've had in the past and am loving this aswell. I know alot has changed internally with each new phone that comes out. Battery, storage, cameras, etc. etc. I might not see that stuff in everyday use but still know that upgrades are always good. The phone is easy to use and very user friendly. The display is great, the camara is great, and the durability and performance of the phone is top notch. I'm a Samsung Guy for life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the phone a week ago. At first, i was hesitant to shift from one popular brand Samsung. Now that I've experienced the speed, resolution of the diaplay, overall weight, and display size yet managed to being the thickness/thinness to very minimal, I find the S26 ultra as the best mobile or excellent phone in functionaluty, security, design, and aesthetics. Beautiful device. I am so happy that I switched ecosystem. I enjoy using the phone and will never go back or shift to any other brand. It's just an excellent device through and through. Looks tough. Black color remains my goto color. Camera resolution and qualuty of photos amazing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from my S24 Ultra and so happy I did, it feels quicker and the battery life is definitely better considering it's still a 5000mah. There is a noticeable difference in the charging speed. The display is good and does have better visuals, the only slight downside is it's not quite as bright as the 24, but in return you get the privacy display which is a nice feature. Im not a big picture taker but if you download the camera assist app you can change the standard 12MP to a 24MP set up which is cool. Can't comment on durability yet as its brand new so haven't given it enough time. But seems well built and i haven't got any complaints.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pre ordered the phone, the battery is amazing, I feel like I actually have "all day battery life" now which is down to the cooling being so much better, the phone doesn't heat up no where nearas much as the s25 ultra did. The camera feels a lot brighter and clearer which is obviously down to the increased apature. The privacy display is lovely to use and show off, I do wish I could chose which apps have max privacy and which don't. The s pen, I do wish that the features could come back again for taking photos as that was really useful. Performance is so far very good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely thrilled with my Galaxy S26 Ultra. The new Privacy Display feature is a total game-changer; it works flawlessly, ensuring my screen content stays private even in crowded spaces. The camera performance, especially in low-light photography, has taken a massive leap forward. Samsung’s latest Galaxy AI tools (like AI Photo Assist) now handle complex edits in seconds that used to take me hours. Furthermore, the new 360° Video Stabilization and advanced filming modes are essential for anyone who takes content creation seriously. If you are looking for a powerhouse that balances cutting-edge innovation with top-tier security, this is it.

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.

Upgraded from S23 Ultra (which was excellent) and havent regretted it. Battery easily lasts into a second day with consistently around 10-12 hours SOT. Camera is great, better lowlight pics than S23. 24m is a great addition through Camera Assist. Privacy display is better than a gimmick, wouldn't use all the tine but great for hiding notifications, work stuff, and PINs etc. Noticeably faster processing (to be expected 3 iterations on). Love the flat screen too- likely more durable now that glass screen protectors will fit properly with a case. Price- after trade and RAM upgrade, can't complain. Overall really happy, great all round phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am Loving the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra! 📸 Camera game = strong. The new 200MP main sensor with a faster f/1.4 aperture delivers amazing detail and noticeably better low‑light shots. The ultra‑wide and 5x zoom are super reliable too. 🧭 Interface = smooth and smart. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the phone feels lighter, smarter, and faster, making everyday use incredibly fluid. 🖥️ Resolution = stunning. The 6.9-inch AMOLED 1440p display is crisp, vibrant, and boosted by Samsung’s ProScaler tech for even better clarity and color.

Pros Stunning, bright display Excellent performance and gaming capability Strong camera system with improved night photography Unique Privacy Display feature Premium build quality Cons Expensive compared to competitors Camera improvements are incremental AI features not fully mature Final Verdict The Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the best Android phones in 2026, offering a powerful combination of performance, display quality, and advanced features. However, it feels more like an evolution than a revolution. If you’re upgrading from an older device, it’s a great choice. But if you already own a recent Ultra model, the upgrade may not feel significant.

Battery life is in the order of, a day of heavy use. Charges real fast with the super quick charge so battery is never an issue. Screen is as good as you would expect from a flagship phone. The privacy screen is a nice feature for your banking apps and such. The CPU is FAST. No hangs, àpps open instantly. Verry snappy.

Really enjoying this phone, which holds its battery life longer so you can play with it for longer and charges a lot quicker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the S26 Ultra for a couple of months. Performance is great and never struggles with any task. The display is excellent and I do use the privacy display. Battery life is good but the addition of 60 watt charging is useful but I rarely use it as I prefer to charge using a magsafe cover I have no concerns over durability. I've had several Samsung phones and all have been robust devices. The S26 Ultra is up there with the best of them. One minor criticism would be over the camera array. The camera itself is fantastic but the layout should change to support more magsafe chargers and improve phone stability when lying on a surface.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra makes a strong first impression with its premium feel and top-tier display! It’s easily one of the best screens on ANY phone right now. Everything runs effortlessly smooth, and the AI features actually feel useful in day-to-day use rather than just added extras. The camera system delivers consistently sharp, vibrant photos, especially in low light, making it one of the standout features so far.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was brought two months ago to replace an older Samsung Galaxy ultra, the most immediate noticeable thing is the speed of the system, much quicker than previous phone, the round sharp also means it's pocket friendly. Display wise not noticeable improvement but the privacy glass is an excellent feature, really appreciate it. Not much different regarding the camera however the software seems to improve a bit hence taking photos in the dark looked better. To be honest, didn't notice much change on the battery life, but generally happy with it. Samsung flagship always have better features and obviously Galaxy AI is very useful and essential nowadays.

I tried playing a game on there but the phone did get hot fast and dolby and motion blur didn't work on the game (codm) due to the device which I don't mind but it would be nice to use those too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an S23 Ultra i wasn't sure what improvements to expect or i would notice. Performance is definitely one area that is immediately obvious. The whole phone is snapper and more responsive. Display is also a step up, much brighter than before. Privacy Display is a nice feature but there's a significant decrease in brightness when on, so will use it sparingly. Too early to tell about the battery,but Samsung Fast Charging 3.0 is a nice addition. Not noticed a signifcant increase in camera quality. Maybe some low light photos are required. Overall happy with my purchase. Here's to the release of the S29 Ultra in another 3 years.

I had been waiting for the latest Galaxy phones to be released, as I have had more than one of these and have always been very happy with them. The last phone stayed with me for 5 years and has proved it's durability. Performance is always top and the S26Ultra has maintained that. I love the improvements to the camera, my photos as so much better and clearer now. The display is clearer and I love the privacy display feature, which has saved me buying another privacy display screen protector. The battery life is much better and the charger rate is a vast improvement.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone when it was launched (as an advanced/ pre-launch order). I had never bought a mobile at its pre-launch stage before, so this was a big risk for me. I am happy to say that I have not been disappointed so far. I am still exploring all of its features. For me, this was a big jump from my previous Note 10 plus. I definitely like the private screen feature. The only thing that I am missing is the curvy shape of Samsung phones (curved edges, as in the Note 10 plus), but I understand that that Samsung has opted for sharper, more rectangular edges for some years now. Oh, and the fast charging 3.0 capability is amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glad I upgraded from my S24 Ultra and it cost only a third of the price of the actual price. The features so far are well thought and designed especially privacy screen feature. The size of phone is much slimmer than my previous device and weighs less which is somewhat noticeable. The battery life has been upgraded with new massage compatability in comparison to the s24. The camera feature is very hand ly especially when trying to record smooth landscape clips. No more need for the DJI osmo with the cameras stabilisers built in. Ample size storage especially given brought whilst on offer so got the 512gb for the price of 256gb.

From a cybersecurity perspective, the Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-S948B) is a masterclass in mobile hardening. Integrated Privacy: The hardware-level Privacy Display effectively neutralizes "shoulder surfing" by narrowing viewing angles at the pixel level. Silicon-Level Security: The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 NPU performs real-time heuristic audits, instantly flagging unauthorized microphone or location access. Data Integrity: With a Discrete Secure Element (Knox Vault) and IP68 environmental resilience, your data remains both encrypted and accessible, even during Fujairah’s recent flooding. It is, quite simply, the most "hardened" consumer device available

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra for about two weeks now, and honestly, it’s been incredible. The display is next-level — super bright, smooth, and crisp, especially when watching videos or editing photos. The camera setup is unreal; the detail you get, even in low light, is wild. Battery life easily gets me through a full day of heavy use, and charging is lightning fast. Performance-wise, it’s buttery smooth — no lag, no overheating, just solid speed all around. Samsung really nailed the premium feel with this one; it’s sleek but sturdy. After two weeks, it still feels new every time I pick it up. Definitely worth the upgrade!

It’s great that the display, camera, battery life, and performance are all meeting your expectations — sounds like it’s delivering a premium experience.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The privacy display is a MUST have. It feels like such a convenient feature especially when you feel like someone is looking at your phone. The battery life is clearly improved and lasts me over a day with regular use. The camera has been great for years now and thanks to Galaxy AI processing its even more incredible making those photos stand out. The phone feels super sturdy and durable, ive dropped it a few times without a case only to find a bit of dirt I could wipe off. Overall, the experience has been amazing and ill definitely be looking out for any changes for the 27U model, coming from a base S25 this is a huge improvement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone when it was launched and the battery life has been amazing it lasted almost a day and a half before needing charge. The camera is the best I've ever seen on any smartphone with very sharp and vibrant images. The display is second to none it has amazing clarity I really love the privacy feature which is a game changer. The performances brilliant for gaming and casual use and I'm able to make the most of the new snapdragon chip for gaming. The phone is very durable and the screen is very strong I've never had any issues with it I haven't even installed a screen protector as I'm confident it's very durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a short time now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The phone feels incredibly premium, with a beautiful display that is bright, smooth, and perfect for watching videos or browsing. The camera quality is outstanding—photos come out sharp with great colors, even in low light. Performance is also extremely fast, and everything runs smoothly without any lag. The battery easily lasts me through the day, even with heavy use. Overall, the S26 Ultra is a powerful, well-designed phone that truly feels like a top-tier flagship. Highly recommended for anyone looking for the best Samsung experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third S Series Samsung, and after living with each generation, the S26 Ultra continues to justify the upgrade. Performance is sharp, the display is outstanding, and the camera system remains one of the best on the market. What keeps me in the Samsung ecosystem isn't just the hardware — it's the consistency. Both my sons are on Galaxy S Series too, so the family familiarity, seamless sharing, and ecosystem continuity all matter. Samsung makes it easy to stay. If you're already in the S Series world, this is a natural next step. If you're considering a switch from another brand, the S26 Ultra gives you very little reason to look elsewhere.
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for your continued loyalty to Samsung. We're delighted to hear you're enjoying the performance, display and camera, and that your experience across multiple generations has been so positive. Your ongoing support means a great deal to us, and we hope you continue enjoying your new device!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this phone as my old phone battery was dying super quickly and heating up all the time. What a change! The battery life is amazing, I've started to use the battery protection setting to charge only upto 85% and even though i haven't charged it fully the battery lasts all day with my regular usage. I've started to explore the horizontal lock on the super steady recording mode and this is so helpful when recording my friends and family to rock climbing sets. Usually whilst recording you get distracted and accidentally tilt the phone and ruin the video but this new feature if a game changer. So far the Samsung S26 has been well worth it!

Bought this April 21 and am impressed by the battery. It literally lasts a full day. I've had Samsung phones for 20 years upgrading every 2 years and am very happy how long the battery lasts. Camera is outstanding. Display is sharp. My only disappointment is the buffering. It has improved with far less buffering but when I first got it it buffered constantly. Plus all my phones had no problem downloading Adobe pdf files. On the S26 I Kept receiving file is damaged or corrupt. However, I finally managed to get it to work. My company always emails pdf files so I need that to work.. On the whole I am glad I upgraded to the S26 and would highly recommend it.
I upgraded from a much older device and the difference is incredible. The new display is stunningly clear, and the performance is lightning-fast—my old phone used to get really hot, but this stays perfectly cool even during heavy use. I’m particularly impressed with the new privacy screen; customizing it for specific apps and notifications has been a game-changer for me. As someone who takes a lot of videos, the camera is fantastic—specifically the "Horizontal Lock" for logs, which makes for very smooth, professional footage. Lastly, the call screening feature is brilliant and has already saved me so much time. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24 Ultra to the S26 Ultra, and wow… this thing is a beast. It’s way faster, the screen is super bright, and the colours pop like crazy. Everything just feels smoother — like the phone had a big cup of coffee and decided to work harder. The camera is awesome too. Photos look sharper, low‑light shots don’t turn into a blurry mess, and the zoom is so good it feels like cheating. As for durability, the phone feels tough. The new glass and build make it feel like it can survive real life — pockets, bags, accidental drops, all that chaos. Overall, it’s a huge upgrade from the S24 Ultra and honestly just fun to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my new Samsung S26 Ultra on Thursday with the double the storage deal so I'm sure that will come in handy & straight out of the box you could tell the quality of this phone, I've upgraded from my 3yr old S23 Ultra which is also a quality device but I am already enjoying the new upgrades on this S26 Ultra, it's been simple to swap all the apps & pictures + all the Banking apps & it only took an hour or so, brilliant! As for the durability of the new S26 I can only hope it's of the same quality as my old S23, it's certainly looking to be on first impressions. I'm looking forward to finding out what else this S26 Ultra is capable of, So far so good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra and honestly it’s one of the best smartphones I’ve ever had.

The camera quality is outstanding, especially in low light and zoom — it really feels like a professional camera in your pocket. Battery life is also very solid and easily lasts the whole day. The design feels premium and comfortable to hold. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this phone and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this phone for a week now. The headline features for me would have to be; - the speed and smoothness of UI and CPU - The privacy display, which I use for notifications - The camera lowlight capability. I was intially disappointed in the lack of cool, bold colours and opted for black, as well as the non inclusion of the magnetic charging. However, since upgrading fromt he 23Ultra, I can see a huge improvement in many areas across the phone. It feels more seamless and integrated, plus I am still exploring all the uses with AI. I would reccomend and have done so to three of my mates, who have all purchased one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S26 and I’m really impressed with its performance. The phone feels premium in hand and the 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display is bright, sharp, and smooth, making videos and social media look amazing. The 50MP camera takes very clear photos, even in low light, and the AI features make editing photos quick and easy. The battery easily lasts me a full day with normal use, and the phone runs very smoothly thanks to the powerful processor. Overall, it’s a great upgrade with strong performance, a beautiful display, and reliable battery life. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a premium Android smartphone.

Upgraded to the S26 Ultra a month ago from my S9+, and wow, what a difference! 🚀 Everything is so much faster and smoother. The camera detail is incredible, the 120Hz display is buttery smooth, and the CPU performance feels like I'm working on a PC. The battery life is amazing – I don't even need to charge it daily despite heavy use and 10 hours of music playback! This is the most trustworthy and durable phone I've ever owned. But the AI is the real game-changer; it's integrated everywhere, even helping with spelling and grammar while typing. I genuinely enjoy working with my phone now! ✨ #Upgrade #Technology #Performance #Camera #Battery #AI #Innovation

The display on this phone is absolutely stunning — crisp, vibrant, and incredibly immersive. It’s easily one of the best screens I’ve ever seen on a smartphone. What truly surprised me, though, are the speakers. The sound quality is simply unbelievable — rich, clear, and powerful in a way that feels almost unreal for a phone. The design is another standout. It’s elegant, premium, and beautifully crafted — honestly, words don’t do it justice. And of course, the cameras… absolutely phenomenal. The quality is breathtaking, delivering sharp, detailed, and professional-looking photos in almost any condition. Overall, this device is nothing short of impressive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from my s24, purely because I didnt like the shape of the S24 ultra. The s26 ultra is much more comfortable to hold and I think it looks way better but that's about it. You cant use the s pen for the camera anymore which if I had known I possibly wouldn't of upgraded as I used that feature quite a lot. I can't really see the camera is any better to be honest. Also the privacy screen is cool but its not as effective as I thought it'd be. Battery seems pretty good but as good as my s24 ultra was when it was new. Overall the phone is good but they got rid of some key features and doesn't feel much different to older ultras.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incredible phone, Samsung is unbeaten software wise. I love how they let you choose and customise everything make the phone truly yours. I got the 16GB Ram 1TB variant. Beast phone, Incredible performance, the Display is beautiful and camera also strong, loving the APV video recording, looking forward to trying it on holiday, the battery also improved from the S24 Ultra, wish it was more that 5000Mah but the software make it's last forever especially if you go in power saving on a long day, phones durability also good, I like the design of it however next year I need a black phone that is 1000% black, almost a dark matte black. Anyways 10/10 phone overall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, I absolutely love the Violet Cobalt outer case. It looks stunning, though it is a bit slippery to hold without a case, so I definitely recommend putting one on. The overall performance is just great. The phone is blazing fast, and the new AI features are genuinely incredible to use day-to-day. The battery life is also a huge standout—it easily keeps me going right through my long 7 am to 8 pm shifts without breaking a sweat. The camera takes incredible photos, and the display is gorgeous. The colours pop beautifully, especially when running on QHD resolution, making gaming a truly incredible experience. Overall, a fantastic 5-star device!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 is, hands down, the most impressive phone I’ve ever used. From the lightning-fast performance of the new processor to the stunningly bright and vivid display, Samsung has clearly outdone itself this year. What really stands out is how intuitive the AI features have become; they genuinely simplify my daily tasks, whether I’m editing photos or just navigating through my apps. The design feels incredibly premium and light, making it a joy to hold and use throughout the day. If you are looking for a device that blends raw power with a seamless, user-friendly experience, this is it. It’s not just a great smartphone—it’s a massive leap forward.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last friday, got delivered to me. Setting up from my iphone to S26 Ultra was easy and faster than I thought. Since i’ve never used something of 512GB, im pretty sure I have more than enough data which is worth for the price I bought this. The features in the camera is unbelievable. The 360 rotation video still could be a 100% still video and the camera quality is next level. The screen resolution was the only thing that I was concerned of, but as soon as I turned on the phone I was surprised how HD the screen looked and how detailed the resolution was. Compared to my previous mobile, the fully charged battery could be used for more than a day for my personal use. Overall this is a very good mobile and a very decent Ai system it has.
I recommended this product.
Battery is as good as any new phone, though that never stops it from steadily getting worse over a 2 year period. Camera is decent quality. Good performance overall. Display is nice. Durability is to be expected, youll obviously need a decent case. As for differences over my last phone (S22), I'd say that the storage space is great, size of the screen is great, though could pose problems with people who have smaller hands. Overall phone would be a 4/5 if it wasn't for all the forced AI embedded into the processes of the phone, and it's a significant downgrade that phones don't come with an auxiliary jack or power blocks anymore.
