Great Phone

BruceH . 4 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchase a Samsung Galaxy S series ultra every year for my personal use. The Galaxy S26 Ultra does not disappoint. It is a powerhouse of a phone, seems faster than my S25 Ultra, and every detail is outstanding. The inclusion of Galaxy AI seems to make everything work better and provides so much extra information for nearly every app and function. The phone is stylish and well designed, looks great, and so far, performs outstanding. The transfer from my Galaxy S25 Ultra was seamless and worked flawlessly. Everything transferred correctly and everything was setup identical to my old phone. Outstanding phone!

Specs

The world’s first privacy display built into a phone.

For the first time ever, you can now limit what others can see on your phone whenever you want by enabling the built-in Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra. Clear when you look at it straight on but more private when others look in, Privacy Display can even be preset to automatically turn on when receiving notifications, typing in passwords or using specific apps.⁶

Remove the mess. Restore the magic.⁴

Quickly transform your photos by simply typing or tapping using Photo Assist⁴ with Galaxy AI.³ Did someone take a bite of your dessert before you took the photo? Just type, “Make this piece of cake look perfect,” and your pic is fixed like magic. Want to add in a few plates or cups to elevate the scene? Pull objects from Samsung Gallery, and they’ll naturally blend in with the scene’s lighting and shadows. You can even apply AI-generated styles to give your photo a totally different vibe.

A creative studio on your phone. Strong performance. Smooth play.

Meet your new creative outlet. From playful illustrations to 3D cartoons, add fun to your everyday moments —whether it’s a custom wallpaper, stickers for your group chat, a special contact photo or an invitation.^5,3 Push the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile gaming thanks to our most powerful processor yet. Play graphic-intensive games with lightning-fast responsiveness.

Smart suggestions.¹ Brilliant timing.

Now Nudge with Galaxy AI³ is your behind-the-scenes assistant that just gets you. When you need to reply to a text ¹, search for info or fill out an online form, Now Nudge uses your screen cues to pull up information saved on your phone², right when you need it. That means quicker replies, fewer frantic app switches and more moments that feel like you’re running your day — and not the other way around.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My galaxy ai phone the s26 ultra is pretty good so far. Im still learning all the features maybe once I do more ill have a better review as of right now I thought it would do more lol. But I do like it so far. Pretty fast and can take good pictures as well as the privacy mode. Maybe the fingerprint thing could be better. And have better tips for the photo editing I already tried and it doesn't seem like how it shows on the ad. But im still working on it. And for the pen it says can mess up due to having a magnetic case but if that was already known it should of said that or not have magnetic cases lol. But that's all for now. Entering in the sweeps.
