Galaxy S26 | S26+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 because I needed a new phone. I previously had an S9. I needed to update my banking app and couldn't on that phone. I wanted to be up to date with the new phone , so I chose the S 26. I am very happy with my choice. Everything is so fast. I don't have to charge it every night. When I talk with my daughter( who lives in Montana), I can use speaker and she hears me even when I have the phone laying down on the counter and she hears every word. My other phone she could hardly hear me. Haven't had the chance to use the camera yet. But if it follows through like everything else with this phone, I'm sure it will be great also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the new Samsung Galaxy S26, and my favorites new features it's the new Now Nudge and AI selector, from Galaxy AI. Now Nudge allows me to respond quicker than I could, and AI selector lets me copy text from content that originally couldnt be copied, easily and rapidly. However, when I see the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, I notice how advanced its display is, since it has a new screen feature called Privacy Display. And when I look back at my Samsung Galaxy S26, I wonder why it doesn't have the Privacy Display feature, which could have been great. Overall, it’s a good phone, that I would've liked it to have the new Privacy Display feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this device after my bff gave me her note9 cuz the note9 had so many amazing features. This one had MANY MORE able there aren't enough characters here to say exactly how many. I use this phone daily for research which is, not only, fast but this phone also offers suggestions in almost every way imaginable to help u set ur phone up exactly the way U want but SOOO SOOO MANY things this phone offers that I've never seen on any other device without searching for extra apps to do so. Which usually don't quite get the job done but this one seems to do WAY WAY MORE than what I need (but DEFINITELY LOVE). I'm impressed and that's hard to do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had multiple Galaxy series since the S5. My last one was an S10 and the improvements since then are phenomenal. The camera quality is above average, storage at 512gb for the regular S26 model, user interface responsiveness has done a few haywire things, customization features awesome. I'm most impressed by the integrated AI feature that I can activate at any point without having to exit the current screen I'm on. The Galaxy AI features are not only fun but very handy and I've been using it more frequently whereas before I was mostly opposed to it. Overall I'm impressed and happy with the S26 and hopefully it will last me a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 to replace a phone that developed a charging issue after 1 year (water damage MIGHT have played a part due to my job). I found that the S26 handled playing my favorite mobile game better - I didn't need to pause some of my other apps, and it switched between areas in the game faster. Also, when I watch some of the YouTube channels I'm subscribed to, the videos load 1080 resolution quicker, while using the same phone service for Internet as the previous phone. While I'm still learning what each setting does, that's inherent to having a phone with options to fine tune how you might want to handle your preferences.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus every day, and it has exceeded my expectations. The display is beautiful, the battery easily lasts all day, and the camera takes sharp, vibrant photos. One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI, which helps make everyday tasks faster and more convenient. Whether I'm taking pictures, staying organized, or keeping up with family and work, this phone fits perfectly into my lifestyle. The performance is smooth, reliable, and everything works exactly as I need it to. Overall, the Galaxy S26 Plus is an excellent device that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a powerful and user-friendly smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 offers a truly premium experience, boasting innovative features that elevate mobile technology. Its advanced camera system, powered by Galaxy AI, allows for stunning photography in any condition. The sleek design and vibrant display further enhance its appeal, making it a joy to use. In contrast, the Samsung A16 provides a solid and reliable performance for everyday tasks. It delivers a user-friendly interface and dependable functionality at a more accessible price point. However, I personally have found that the Galaxy S series phones are more to my personal preference and liking than any of the other Samsung phone series.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the S26 to replace my old S21 FE. I am more than happy with my new phone. The performance is great, the quality is superb. I've been really impressed with the battery life. The battery on the S21 FE was the greatest and it always felt like a struggle. The S26 is great and lasts a full day. It also connects seamlessly with my wireless android auto with out killing the battery and overheating the phone like my old one. I haven't worked through all the new features yet but I've had a play with a few. Looking forward the photos I can take and edit with the new AI features. Would definitely recommend this phone to friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed an upgrade after having the samsung 21 s-series for many years. It was an amazing phone and so effective but I saw the new samsung 26 I knew it was a time to upgrade. So far it has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. The phone has made it easier to navigate thru social media and using the Ai tool or Gemini makes it easier to create or identify items either on social media or at the store. It also makes me so excited to take pictures and to upload to my social media of food and plants. The quality of the pictures makes it seem like it was taken by a professional! Im thrilled I chose to be part of the samsung family once again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the apple iPhone for years and recently switched to the Galaxy S26+. I find it difficult to adjust to. The UI doesn't seem to be as intuitive as I think it should be. The default settings for "Notifications" has all notifications set the same and many notifications are turned on. I had to turn off the majority of notifications. They were driving me nuts receiving the same notification tone every couple of minutes and then trying to figure out what notification came up. I actually stumbled across the notifications drop down screen accidently. So big learning curve for me and anyone else switching to the Galaxy from an iPhone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to upgrade my former Samsung A51 phone as it wasn't holding a charge well, had been well used, and was several years old. Looking at the available models online. I chose the Samsung 26+. Why? Well, I wanted more than the 26, but didn't need all of the bells and whistles of the Ultra 26. So far, I'm impressed with the upgraded features of the phone and it's size (a little larger than my old A51). After starting my cellphone history many years ago with another brand and experiencing multiple problems, I tried a Samsung flip phone and was hooked. I haven't experienced any problems with any of my Samsung phones and highly recommend them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using samsung android phones for msny years and have stayed with the brand for as long as i can remember. I would never switch. I use Samsung galaxy s26 plus every day for watching movies, work and school. The large display and clear picture quality make movies more enjoyable, while , while the fast performance helps me multitasking between emails. Documents and school assignments without slowing down. The battery life also supports my daily routine because I can use my phone throughout the day without needing to charge frequently. Overall, the features make it easier to stay productive and entertained in one device.

We purchased 2 Galaxy S26's recently. We've had Galaxy phones and tablets since they 1st came on the market. A wise choice as we have only had an issue with one mobile many years ago, it was replaced immediately by Samsung atthetime. Customer service is on another level. The S26 is brilliant, continuous integration from one mobile to the next through the Smart Switch app is very helpful. The new features are still being investigated on our new mobiles but so far we are both very impressed with what the newest features can do for us. If you have been thinking about a new mobile phone purchase, you won't regret buying the Galaxy S26.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]   Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Review I purchased this phone i thing back in march. This is a fantastic all-round phone. The screen is big, bright, and easy to see even in sunlight. It’s very fast and smooth, so apps, games, and switching between tasks feel effortless. Photos and videos come out sharp and clear, day or night, and you can zoom in a long way without losing quality. The battery easily lasts a full day with normal use, and it comes with a handy stylus for notes. My photos and videos come out beautifully, well pleased. if you want a reliable, top-quality phone that will last for years, this is one of the best choices out there.  

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a significant upgrade from my previous phone. It is much easier to use, am able to navigate it's features well and am still exploring these. Gemini is particularly useful. I was able to customise my display with ease with and this has made all my apps very accessible. The ability to switch all my significant apps to dark mode has been very useful as makes text better to see, even with smaller fonts. Battery lasts very well and even in this hot weather has not overheated and I have been able to continue using instead of having to leave it to cool. I have not had phone long enough to review durability or camera which I have not yet used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A sleek, lightweight design with a vibrant AMOLED display and strong build quality makes it comfortable for everyday use. The battery life of S26 is good as it lasts whole day. Camera with its integrated AI system helps a lot with reliable photos producing sharp, detailed photos with the help of enhanced by AI image processing though hardware improvements over previous models are minimal. Live translation features along with writing assistance, and contextual daily briefings are cool. I like hands-free digital assistants along with voice command systems. However, hardware upgrades feel modest it’s very similar to its predecessor S25.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Barley tapped the back of my phone on the corner table, cracking the back. Definitely debatable whether this phone will survive the year. Galaxy AI, alright. The bottom of the phone keeps glitching out on certain things, especially when a keyboard is involved. Keeps running apps like Facebook in the background, playing ads, with the screen locked. Shrink flation is noticeable. Thicker glass on both sides of the phone is recommended. 1/4 to with. I can care less about the length. The phone should automatically optimize and close out apps and anything else running in the background that I am not currently using. Makes my phone run hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Display & model a big 9/10. The smart ai integrations/interface. Top quality specs & capabilities for business professionals & most definitely Education. Perfect HD powerful lasting battery power. The specs + alone & powerful Top quality graphics, features/functions are amazing & absolutely endless professions, roles this perfectly aligns & 100% surpasses any/all tech/spec & users requirements & then some but it absolutely is one of the best phones ever made in my opinion but completely exceeds all currently on the market. Best of all, stronger & reliable Screen/glass quality. powerful, life/game changer, for absolutely any role(s), Industry etc ...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have no idea where to begin.. this phone has been truly outstanding. The s26 plus has exceeded in every way shape and form would I expected from a phone. I came from a Samsung Galaxy s23 plus and before that I had a Samsung Galaxy s8. With each phone it gets better smarter more well defined. The whole experience is phenomenal. Keep up the good work! With each and every phone that comes out Samsung never ceases to amaze me. Each and every one of you should be proud of yourselves. You connect family and friends alike and ways that 20 years ago we never thought would it ever happen. Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication.

Good phone. No complaints. Fast and has been reliable. Not much to argue with. Looking at getting a second as a back up. Never wanted a s3cond of the same phone before

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had a Samsung s24 which was a brilliant phone i have upgraded to the Samsung s26 the performance is alot quicker the display is easier one the eyes 👀 the s26 seems smoother to operate the Samsung s26 camera capability are so much better the picture quality is amazing I can really say much for the battery as all my Samsung devices have been brilliant with battery life the im aways on the device making calls etc and the battery has lasted around two day before recharge and I can not fault the durability of this it's amazing phone SAMSUNG you've done it again and made one of the best phones out there if not THE BEST !!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this phone a few weeks ago and I am very happy with it, the display looks great, the battery is decent enough and it is very quick. I like the new UI capabilities as well. Things that I am not too keen on are things like the strength of the vibration on this phone, it's very week and when I heve my phone on silent I can barely feel it and I am missing alot if calls. The camera is also very good, however I wish the s pen still had Bluetooth. On to the s pen, it is a very silly design choice to put the end clicker on an angle which means you have to put it in at the right rotation and if you don't it will protrude.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always get samsung products as they are top spec at a competitive price tge trade in experience is second to none with fast and efficient service. I'm very happy with my new phone and pleased to have been able to rehome my old phone instead of it going to waste sitting in a drawer! I have the headphones and watch also making things so much easier to have them all connected. I love the fast charge and long lasting battery. The phone feels like my previous models great quality and built to last it has many great features and as usual the camera is amazing. The software as always updates itself and is great at making sure I'm always on the latest version.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone a month ago and I'm so happy I did. This is helped my life this is save valuable time with its new AI features. The battery can last a whole day reviews from work to home. The quality of the display is amazing compared to the other competitors. When using other phones I never felt that the camera was good although with Samsung I always felt that it was amazing as it provided quality and especially the zoom in feature. Furthermore, phone is quite durable I've accidentally dropped it quite a few times and it's always been able to withstand the drop. I look forward Samsung s27 and look forward for the performance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this phone for everyday personal use and it hasn't had any issues with anything I do. Unlike a generic android this phone won't glitch and restart randomly. The processor seems like it can handle a heavy load and that makes the phone so seamless in my opinion. Things just like connecting to my Bluetooth radio in my car are even so much easier. The galaxy AI has been interesting since there are many built in features for it. I do like it but I'm still getting used to it also as I'm not an AI user typically. As a base model phone it's definitely worth the money. I bought me and my husband one! We love them overall! Geat phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Samsung Galaxy products since 2013, and Samsung continues to impress me with innovation and quality. The Galaxy S26 512GB base model in Purple looks amazing and performs smoothly for everyday use, content creation, entertainment, and multitasking. I especially enjoy the Galaxy AI features because they make the phone feel smarter, more modern, and more helpful in daily life. The display quality, camera performance, battery life, and overall experience feel premium and polished. Samsung has remained my favorite mobile ecosystem for years because of the consistent improvements and unique features that stand out from other smartphones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I choose the S24 for the storage and the camera and I have to say that the phone hasn't let me down yet. The battery lasts so much longer than any other phone I've ever had. All of the galaxy functions are better than any other phone that I've had. No slow downs or lock ups. Not one problem what so ever and the AI experience is very helpful for sure. Alot more complete help and answers to questions. I'm sure the galaxy phones are going to continue to be the best choice bar none for years to come. Samsung truly got it right the first time out. Forget any other manufacturer. Save your money and get a Samsung phone and cut out alot less stress in your life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My beloved S23 was starting to wear down a bit; the battery was a bit weak, but it still performed at a high level. I chose an S26+, partly because of many years of satisfaction from a lot of different Samsung phones, and partly because of the ease of transferring to an upgraded device. I managed to get the 512 GB model, so I'm expecting a lot of years of heavy-duty usage from it. I travel for work, so streaming music, maps, and hotspot usage are all important. A little heftier battery coupled with a high-end processor should more than take good care of me. It's already surprised me a few times with cool features, and I haven't explored it fully yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ​The standout feature of the Samsung Galaxy S26 is the shift to autonomous "agentic" AI. Instead of just answering basic prompts, the system wide integration of Gemini, Bixby, and Perplexity actively anticipates what you need. ​Photo Editing: The Creative Studio and Photo Assist features make complex edits foolproof. You can remove background distractions or generate custom graphics instantly without downloading extra apps. ​Now Nudge: This is incredibly helpful in daily use. It monitors your context and saves major steps like automatically gathering and suggesting the right photos when a friend texts asking about a recent trip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has exceeded my expectations. There are a number of highlights that really stand out. Firstly the picture quality from the camera is excellent even in low light situations. The operating system is quick and responsive and doesn't struggle with any task I throw at it. I really appreciate the clarity and brightness od the screen which performs well, even in bright light situations. I am really pleased that Samsung had continued with the S pen as the ability to write on the screen is so useful for me. Overall it is an incredible handset which is like having a speedy computer and high quality camera in my pocket.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently as in 3 months ago traded my s24+ because of micro phone issues. I received my S25+ approximately 3 months ago. I charge my phone mostly at night so that I'm not charging while using it. In this past 2 weeks my phone is not wanting to charge. One cord I've had for almost a year but my 2nd cord is new, I ordered it online. Either cord has to be put into port several tries before it will charge. Is this a me issue a cord issue or a charger port issue. Is this happening to a lot of s25+ phones or do I need new cord. Otherwise this phone is a great choice and the Galaxy AI is great I've used it in messaging with my family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a fast, compact flagship that focuses on performance and practical AI features rather than big innovation. It delivers smooth everyday use, strong multitasking, and one of the best displays available, all in a refined, easy-to-handle design. However, battery life is its biggest weakness, often struggling to last a full day with heavier use. The camera is solid but not a major upgrade, making the overall experience feel incremental compared to previous models. It’s a reliable choice for those wanting a balanced Android phone, but not ideal if battery life or cutting-edge upgrades are your top priorities.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 as my daily powerhouse, and honestly, it’s a game-changer. The Galaxy AI is a standout feature—whether I’m streaming a live coding session, gaming, or multitasking between apps, it anticipates my needs and keeps everything smooth. As someone who codes, games, and streams simultaneously, I can’t overstate how valuable that speed and efficiency is. Whether I'm gaming late at night or pushing out coding projects, the S26 just works—making every part of my routine that much easier. If you’re like me and balance gaming, coding, and streaming, the Galaxy AI on this device is a total game-changer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased two Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and I am extremely satisfied with my experience. The display is stunning, the camera captures amazing photos and videos, and the battery easily lasts all day. The phone is incredibly fast, smooth, and handles every task without any lag. Galaxy AI features are also very useful in daily life. The build quality feels premium, and the overall user experience is excellent. Samsung has once again delivered a flagship phone that exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend the Galaxy S26 Ultra to anyone looking for the best smartphone experience. Thank you, Samsung, for creating such an amazing device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery is amazing. Last all day for me. I using my phone for workouts and shopping as well. The display is awesome for me. I wanted this size phone as I like smaller phones. I have taken many photos as its great you can edit them so easily. The camera to me is great. The phone performance for me is great. It's not slow at all for what I use the phone for, shopping watching videos or movies. I love the size of this phone, the durability is awesome. I had the flip before and I do think this is the best Samsung phone I have had over the years. The battery is the best for this phone. I definitely recommend this over the flip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 base model because I wanted a compact phone that didn't compromise on top-tier performance. The 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display is exceptionally bright and smooth, making it perfect for daily video streaming, social media, and gaming on the go. ​I use it heavily throughout my workday for multitasking, quick photo edits, and staying connected with Galaxy AI features. The cameras are sharp and reliable for capturing everyday moments, and the battery easily gets me through my usual routine. The lightweight design combined with the upgraded performance makes it an absolute joy to use every single day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose galaxy over every other phone company my whole life, except for when it was out of my control what phone I got. Let me tell you this the Samsung Galaxy S26 is the best phone I have ever owned hands down and the s26 is so easy to use and has a user friendly operating system and theres helpful hints for every feature on the phone. As well as having the smoothest transitions between apps and the processing speed of this phone is out of this world its so fast. The sound quality is the best I've ever heard on a handheld device it handles 8d sound with ease. I'll continue to always choose Samsung Galaxy products over anything else for the rest of my life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Straight out the box the phone looks and feels well made, with a nice sleek look. The phone is easy to set up with step by step guidance and it's easy transferring everything from your previous phone! Some of the new features have been really fun and useful to utilise. The ai translator works well and I can't wait use to use whilst on holiday, imagine it will be very useful. The photo editing software is a game changer for me, it's so simple to edit photos, remove unwanted details and my daughter loves the ai edits which make her look like cartoons. The phones responsive and battery life so far is good even with long usage. So far really impressed and happy.

I received my s26 about a week ago and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I know alot of people have mentioned how it isn't much of an upgrade from the s25 but as someone who's upgrading from the Flip 6 (I know, I know but I kind of just wanted better battery and cameras) it is an upgrade. The cameras and battery life are a significant upgrade for me. It's also very snappy and smooth. I've also been converted back to Bixby. She's kind of cool now (although she needs to be better at language recognition). I also love the design. I got the white which just looks sleek. I'd like to use her naked but unfortunately I don't have a great track record in that regard

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is an excellent flagship phone that stands out with its beautiful 120Hz AMOLED display, delivering bright colors and super smooth scrolling. Its performance is extremely fast and responsive, easily handling gaming, multitasking, and daily use without any lag. The camera system captures sharp, vibrant photos with great detail in both daylight and low-light conditions. Battery life is impressive, lasting a full day comfortably, and the overall build quality feels premium and very durable, with strong water and dust resistance. Overall, the Galaxy S26 offers a high-quality, reliable experience and feels like a refined, top-tier smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not my first purchase of a Samsung Galaxy flashlight phone, and it certainly will not be my last. Over the years, I chose Samsung Galaxy devices as my preferred personal technology due to their exceptional efficiency, versatility, and consistent performance in both everyday use and demanding tasks. The device’s camera consistently delivers high-quality results, and its battery life has proven reliable and long-lasting. While I would have preferred the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, its price point was beyond my current budget. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful and remain open to the possibility of acquiring it in the future..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Plus because I wanted a premium smartphone with a large, beautiful display, strong performance, and a great overall experience. The design feels modern and refined, while the phone is fast and smooth for everything from everyday tasks to entertainment and photography. The display quality is excellent, the battery life keeps up with my day, and the camera system captures impressive photos and videos. I really like how Samsung continues improving the Galaxy experience with useful features and a polished user interface. The S26 Plus feels like a phone built for people who want flagship performance without compromising on comfort and style.
