Galaxy S26 Ultra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very disappointed things have not progressed much in recent years. Certainly well behind Oppo and Vivo among others on hardware. Great AI features but I prefer to live in the real world

Great phone, i will keep few years
I switched from an iPhone to a Samsung, and I'm surprised how good Samsung is, I needed a change and wanted to try Android, so I like Samsung Android and I recommend buying it.

Excellent phone
I bought this a week ago and I can say it's good phone. Intuitive, fast and bright screen. Battery holds enough, depending on how use. Charging speed increased, so if you use 65W super-fast charger it will charge really quick . Camera is very impressive. A specially in good conditions, AI will make even better

Galaxy S26 Ultra
I didn’t think such an expensive phone would have such a poor operating system. Many apps stop working over time. I have to constantly update the OS, clear the cache and do lots of other things. This phone has really let me down; it’s made me incredibly stressed. As soon as I get rid of it, I’ll never buy a ‘Samsung’ again. I decided to try the Samsung Ultra S26 for the first time — it’s been the worst purchase ever.
