Galaxy S 26 ultra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Galaxy S 26 Ultra, for a week, I can honestly say this phone is a game changer. Slick comfortable looks amazing and is amazing, its got all the usual stuff but brilliantly packed with so much more. The battery is so much better than last years S 25. stronger camera so much better than the S 25, large display with awesome amount of storage. The cool performance of this phone has left all the other mobile phones still waiting on the starting line. Winner by far, Galaxy S26.

Amazing device and great features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I pre-ordered this and received it on the 12th. The storage is perfect, the display is amazing especially with the new privacy screen display which is perfect because the privacy screen protectors are usually not the greatest. I'm loving the camera especially for filming now which is a massive step up from the s21 as they have managed to remove that bit of the delay I experienced with the s21 when moving side to side. The battery is more than enough, it really does last a long time and the performance is definitely a huge improvement from what I last had however, the only issue is that the S Pen can't be used to help take a oicture or anything as there is no bluetoothso it can only work for the screen really. But definitely an amazing phone and I highly recommend.

Best "everything" phone you can buy right now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the S26 Ultra for a week now, and it’s easily the most polished phone Samsung has ever made. The best change is the design. They finally rounded the corners! It doesn’t dig into your palm anymore, and it feels much lighter and thinner than the older models. The new privacy display is really cool and I didnt expect it to perform as well as it does. It makes the screen look black to anyone sitting next to you, which is perfect for checking emails or banking in public. In terms of camera, night photos and videos are greatly improved from previous models even though the camera sensor has not changed. I was pleasantly surprised by the dynamic range in videos. It’ll easily get you through a full day. Plus, the charging is faster this year, so a quick 20-minute plug-in gives you a massive boost. The Downside - It’s still a very expensive phone. If you have last year’s model, you might not notice a massive speed difference, but if you’re coming from an older phone (like the S23 or S22), this is a huge jump. Verdict: 5/5 stars for the screen and the new, more comfortable shape. It's the best "everything" phone you can buy right now.

Underwhelming
The camera is very good. The privacy screen is handy. Although I have found that the screen can seem a little blurry with or without the privacy screen. The translator function is reall good. Otherwise feels similar to the s25 ultra. I thought the phone would wow me, but it didn't unfortunately. The camera lens sticks out and when you lay the phone down it rocks, which is unfavourable.

Great New Phone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my new S26 ultra for just about a week now. Loving it, battery life is much better than my old S22 ultra. The privacy display is excellent, performance also great, runs my games much more smoothly and so quick switching between apps. I doubled my storage as I needed it to store all my history of WhatsApp chats. The camera is so far so good, need to try it out for night pictures.

Samsung's downward trend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So disappointed about the performance and battery. After this s26u I won't buy galaxy device anymore.

Slight Inprovement on S24
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the S26 ultra on release day and very happy with it so far. I'm not seeing an amazing difference between the cameras of the S24 and S26 and still needs work on getting a close up shot but the zoom function is good and AI is improving which is amazing to see.

S26 ultra review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently switched from the S25 Ultra to the S26 Ultra, and I must say I'm loving the new performance it brings to gaming. It has been nice to have an increase in performance and stability, even if it's subtle. The privacy screen is my new favorite feature because in day-to-day life, it prevents people from peeking at my sensitive information in public, such as banking apps or notifications. The battery seems to give me more life, but that's obviously due to optimizations made to the software, which is always welcome. I opted for the 1TB storage for large files, which is great because I no longer need external drives. Overall, this is a great phone, and I use its ultra features daily.

Best Phones We've Every Had
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having watched the Samsung Unpacked presentation, I pre ordered the 2 x S26 Ultra Phones for my wife and myself. They arrived before the official UK launch date and have impressed us both in the short time that we have had them. Still learning what they can do, but all of the features we have tried work prefectly and everything performs very quickly. The display is outstanding and we both value the privacy function.
