About This Video

My Galaxy S26 Ultra is finally here, and I bought it with my own money because I’m a real user who actually lives with these devices. In this video I’m giving you my honest 48-hour first impressions as a dad, a heavy phone user, and a content creator who runs a channel off phones. I went with the black S26 Ultra (because there’s just something about a black Ultra phone), and even coming from the S25 Ultra, I’m already really liking what Samsung did this year. Design-wise it looks familiar, but Samsung jumped back to aluminum from titanium—and yeah, it felt a little “cheaper” at first because aluminum is softer. The tradeoff is worth it for me though: it’s lighter, thinner, and it feels better in-hand than my iPhone 17 Pro Max (which feels like a massive round pebble). The biggest surprise so far is cooling—setup and transfer didn’t heat up like previous Samsungs, and that matters because better cooling helps keep brightness and performance up in real-world conditions. I also talk cameras (skin tones are looking better than even the S25 Ultra), One UI 8.5 and Good Lock customization, the new privacy display (super useful in public and even in bed), early display thoughts, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 speed, and why I’m still watching battery life closely even though it’s sticking with 5,000 mAh.
