    • Wonderful upgrade from the S21 Ultra! Display is good straight on and up to 30% off-axis.
Color: Black Size: 512GB Style: Galaxy S26 Ultra Pattern Name: Phone Only
Review Image by space-time
SUMMARY: BUY IT! I didn't like any of the newer S series phones enough to buy until this one, plus the OS updates recently ended for the S21U. * The display looks great, better than the S21U, if viewed straight-on and up to maybe 30% off-axis with the privacy display off. I use my phone like this 90% of the time, and have no need for a "privacy" display, so a win. Farther off-axis though, or with the privacy display "on", the nicest thing I can say is "it will do the job until the S27U is released with hopefully Privacy Display 2.0". * The dithered 8-bit to 10-bit display (FRC tech) works fine. I’ve read that the iPhone 17 also uses the 8 to 10 bit FRC. A true hardware 10 bit or 12 bit display would take more power. Samsung would have to get their small battery problem solved first. I'm hoping for a hardware 12-bit display with a 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery in the S27U. :) * The 25W wireless charging works so well that I can see I won't be using the 60W wired charger (EP-T6010NBEGUS) much. Same 25W rate as my wired S21U charging. I have the Otterbox Defender Pro XT case with the magnet ring on back. The wireless charger puck’s magnet ring strongly locks right onto the case’s ring (opposite-pole magnets). The Samsung 25W wireless charger is labeled "Magnet Wireless Charger | 45W Power Adapter", a 25W wireless puck AND a 45W charger in the same box (EP-P2900TBEGUS). The puck requires the 45W charger (EP-T4511NBEGUS, if by itself), it says, even though it puts out just the 25W of charging power. The 15W wireless charging on the S21U was nearly useless due to no magnet for coil alignment and the lower charging rate. Problem though: no rubber strain relief on either end of the 25W puck’s cable. It won’t last over time, IMHO. The S26U 3A straight cords do have nice rubber strain reliefs at the ends (3ft 3A = EP-DA705BBEGWW; 6ft 3A = EP-DX310JBEGUS) * You can simply unplug the 25W wireless charging puck ^^ from the 45W adapter it comes with, then use the wired charging cable in the S26U box to get a full 45W charging rate, about 2x as fast as 25W! 2 charging rates in one box. :) The S26U display shows: “Super fast wireless charging” for 25W from the puck; “Super fast charging 2.0” for 45W wired charging; & “Super fast charging 3.0” for a wired connection with the 60W wall charger. I’m finding the 60W & 45W wired chargers are charging at the same rate if the battery is already mostly full. Seems the 60W rate would only happen (for a while) if the battery is very low. The 25W wireless & 45W wired straight cable S26U charging is really all many people would likely need. * The S26U battery is lasting much longer for a given time period than the S21U, likely thanks to the higher efficiency of the 3nm Snapdragon SoC vs 5nm in the S21U, even though the battery is still the same 5000 mAh in both. The charging rate “stop %” setting in the S26U is adjustable from 80 – 100%, vs. fixed at either 80% or 100% in the S21U. Mine is set at 85% now. I can go to bed with 85% showing on the S26U, then wake up with 81% - and that is with the two cell carriers (see below). Awesome. :) * The S26U uses higher 15V and 20V charging voltages than some past phones, so that it only needs 3A vs 5A of current, resulting in less bulky (than 5A) 3A charging cables. S26U 45W = 3A*15V; 60W = 3A*20V. Some older phones used 5A*9V = 45W; so their “45W” wall adapter wouldn’t give 45W S26U charging with only 9V & a 3A cable. * App start-up & switching between apps is much faster and smoother on the S26U than the S21U, given the 2X faster performance SoC. Only having the UFS 4.0 on the S26U vs latest 4.1 isn’t making much difference. The 2nm 8 Elite Gen6 Pro SoC expected in the S27U is slated for UFS 5.0, twice the bandwidth of V4.0, and LPDDR6 memory. Will be a beast. :D * The dual SIM radios in the S26U work well! I'm now running Cricket (AT&T towers) on physical SIM IMEI1 and Spectrum Mobile (Verizon towers) on eSIM IMEI2. The S26U is fully set up for switching the call, messages, and data independently between carriers, sim1 and sim2 in the quick panel. The upper left of the lock screen shows "cricket * Spectrum" for carriers, and the signal strength bar adds a new row of dots underneath to show the signal strength of the other carrier too, plus showing both strength bars when the quick panel is pulled down. If you travel to different parts of town where one carrier’s signal is much weaker, and/or has a “full tower load” signal drop-out, and/or you want to use your data on a specific carrier, this is great. Two chances at getting a good connection. * The WiFi 7 works great as does the 6GHz band. In my TP Link BE 550 Pro router/AP (from Amazon!) I had to change the 6GHz bandwidth from the default 160 MHz to "mixed 160/320 MHz" (or just 320 MHz) to have that band show as Wi-Fi 7 on the S26U vs Wi-Fi 6E (symbols for both on the display). I recently read that iPhones don't even have a 320 MHz bandwidth option on 6GHz, so those users are apparently left with 6E on 6GHz. * The S26U Wi-Fi switches between SSIDs VERY well, automatically, based on signal strength, when walking around a spread-out house with different wired Wi-Fi AP’s, as is my case. The S21U usually didn’t, requiring frequent manual SSID changes walking around. I’ve noticed the S26U even turns the Wi-Fi back on when I get home (SSID recognition), after I’ve turned it off while gone in the car. * The fingerprint reader on the S26U works very well! Nearly every time. That is without even turning on the new "improve accuracy" additional 10x scan option, too. The fingerprint reader on the S21U was useless, at least with my worn and scarred fingerprint. I gave up early on with the S21U reader and used PIN codes ever since. The “Samsung Pass” app is usable now with its required fingerprint bio-ID. * I've shot some 4K and 8K video and it works well! Samsung's new APV encoding standard, a modern competitor to the older Apple Pro Res, is good with claimed 10% better storage efficiency. The phone will record 4:2:2 internally, supports Log recording, and can record to external storage on USB via the port. Hoping for a full 1" camera sensor on the S27U! The S25 Ultra doesn't have APV, or the amazing new video Horizon Lock feature, so right there are 2 good reasons to get the S26U if you are a video fan. * The low light camera ability of the S26U is also amazing. I wind up with a *lot* of low light situations I need to take photos in. Couldn't do it with the S21U most of the time. I would have to use my large Lumix GH7 & GH5 MFT cameras with a fast lens. The photo with this review was taken in 1x mode on the S26U. * The camera lenses do stick out in the back though, unlike the S21U where they were flat and recessed. The Otterbox Pro XT case mitigates that to some extent by having a plastic ring around the lens area that is slightly taller to help keep the lens from scraping on things when the phone is set down on its back. Lens protectors are a good idea. *The speakers/audio on the S26U can go a bit louder (and clearer) than the S21U, which was needed. Hopefully the S27U will support 32-bit float audio recording, like the Lumix GH7 cam and iPhone 17 Pro Max support, for zero concern over recording levels! Samsung really needs to update their new APV codec to support 32-bit float audio, like Pro Res can – this is a big Samsung omission, IMHO. :/ * The Bluetooth V6.0 in the S26 works better (stable, less lag, faster connect) than the S21U BT V5.2 with my car entertainment link (Lexus RS350) and PreSonus Eris 4.5BT desktop speakers. Unfortunately the S26U’s 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC chip doesn’t support the latest low-latency (Nov 2025) BT V6.2. I’m hoping for that and a USB 3.2 gen 2 port in the S27U. * The Samsung Smart Switch transfer app - the default that comes up when you power up the S26U - from the S21U took about 45 minutes to transfer 72GB of apps and data using the cable in the S26U box. The S26U had 69% battery out of the box, then the 45 transfer took it down to 55%. Keep in mind the SSS app completely re-installs the phone’s apps from Google Play & Samsung Store, not just copying them over, then re-loads their data. Works extremely well! ZERO problem with the transfer, but of course passwords have to be re-entered everywhere. * Can't comment about the AI/Bixby and stylus. I don't use either, maybe in the future. If you do use the phone’s AI, the S26U has a 40% faster NPU than the S25U, . Remember that Claude & ChatGPT do all their computes in the cloud, at data centers. They don’t use a phone’s (or PC’s) NPU at all (at least currently). * And *great work* Amazon in getting the pre-ordered phone to me right on the promised March 11 release date!

    • Ahhh it’s good to be back!
Color: Cobalt Violet Size: 256GB Style: Galaxy S26 Ultra Pattern Name: Phone Only
Absolutely above my expectations! I was using iPhones the past 3 years. Not because I wanted to, but because I wanted to make things easier for my wife and her family. But after swapping back to the S26 Ultra I realize how much I’ve missed Android and Samsung. The amount of customization, not just looks, but functionality, is something that I love about Samsung. From the color reproduction, resolution to extend battery life, privacy screen enable per app or notifications, instead of a Dynamic Island everything lives at the top bar and might not function the same way but it’s close enough. And the Good Lock app alone makes takes the whole experience to a new level. The phone feels amazing in hand and feels like it is high quality. And durability is the same across the board. Don’t drop it and you will be fine. I paired mine with a MagBak case, which comes with a great screen protector. I think it is well worth the asking price and love how well Android integrates with windows. I also have a Samsung tablet and swapping between the two is seamless. Just not enough good things to say. For any iPhone users, simply take the time to learn the operating system and adapt your muscle memory and it will be fine. RCS chat makes sending high quality photos and videos simple, and Google Meet is a universal video calling app that makes it simple for everyone. FaceTime is fine, but other apps do video calling better. Just stop being stubborn and enjoy what else can be had. Anyway, hope this helps :) it’s a great device! ... show more

Review Image by Micah Topete
I'm upgrading from the s21 ultra. So far this is my favorite android phone ever. The color is hard to capture on camera, but I took some pictures against a gray sheet to help. Customization has never gone deeper or been more intuitive in the Galaxy experience before, with AI integration and Privacy Display technology brings an emphasis on the individual user. And it all just works. Battery isn't just longer lasting because of the more efficient chip or charges faster from 60w bricks, but also is faster with your old 25w/45w bricks than your older Galaxy phone. It is aluminum so drops will dent and scratch the frame, but from video tests online the display screen refuses to crack, especially with a protector or case. However the design makes it very comfortable to hold and not accidentally drop. Ultimately this is for the tech enthusiast who wants/needs the S-pen, Privacy Display, extra battery, and better night pictures. If someone fits in this category, it's a very good value for the money, but especially with the cameras it feels niche beyond being the most technical and in that you might want the plus, base, or even wait for the fe. ... show more

Color: Black Size: 512GB Style: Galaxy S26 Ultra Pattern Name: Phone Only
I’ve been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra for a few days now and I absolutely love it. The display is stunning, the performance is incredibly fast, and the camera takes some of the best photos I’ve ever captured on a phone. Everything feels smooth and premium, and the battery easily lasts me through the day and never heats up. The size is perfect in your hand. I also preordered so the price was much lower at $1100. Overall, it’s an amazing device and definitely one of the best phones I’ve ever owned. ... show more

My wife and I love this phone. I am coming from the ultra series. The plus is just a little smaller but the screen is almost the same size. You lose the spen but that doesn't even have Bluetooth anymore and I never used it anyway. The plus is a little bigger than the regular s26 which is better for typing on. This has almost as big of as battery as the ultra and the screen quality is absolutely stunning. I feel like this is the perfect phone. Also the network seems snappier.
