I chose this model because I wanted to upgrade from my Galaxy Flip 5. I chose this particular model because it has less physical weight and it has the updated power. I received it from my carrier, opened the box and started to transfer my info from my old phone. That part seemed to go OK until I tried to open one of my apps and found out none of my passwords worked. Oh well. The phone itself is just OK, I've found nothing really special compared to my old Galaxy.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago and I wish I could get a refund. Basic problems on first use, Battery icon is too small and I have to go into settings to actually see it. I have to go through 3 steps just to get into the phone. Tap, slide and pin. Can't find anyway to change this. Time on basic platform, once you get into the phone is as small as battery sign is. When ready to hang up the phone and press the hang up button it often recalls the person I was talking to, whether the call comes in or goes out. Last night I tried desperately to turn the flash light on but no but no matter which way I tried I could not find the icon for it.

I bought the S26 to replace a tired S22. It's still small and fits in the palm of my hand but is mighty with it's functionalities, display clarity, camera features, apps and much more. Particularly like the AI tools in gallery when editing photos. Triple camera is a bonus. The processing speed is swift and Samsung security is exceptional as always. My husband bought the S26 ultra which has a bigger screen but all the same advantages as a standard handset. The battery life is good and a full charge lasts well. Durability is reliable which is reassuring on busy schedules. An outstanding powerful handset which I would definitely recommend.

I chose the Samsung S26 because I needed to upgrade from my S21. I have been enjoying the new features and the overall experience so far. The phone is fast, easy to use, and has great battery life. I use my S26 for streaming, browsing the internet, taking photos, watching videos, and staying in touch with friends and family. The battery lasts through my day, which is important to me. I also like the new features that were not on my S21. Samsung has made phones I can rely on for a long time, and the S26 feels like a good step up from my S21. The new features, battery life, and performance make it a phone that fits well into my daily routine.

I brought the S26 a month ago and I'm so glad I did - it’s been an amazing upgrade. The camera quality is outstanding — photos come out sharp, vibrant, and professional-looking with very little effort. The speed and performance are super smooth, whether I’m multitasking, using apps, or just browsing day-to-day. I also love how it supports productivity — everything feels efficient and easy to manage, which makes a big difference when you’re on the go. And the colour? Absolutely beautiful — sleek, modern, and exactly what I was hoping for. Overall, I’m really impressed. Samsung has definitely delivered a premium experience with this one.

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.

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.

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.

I chose this model of the s series when I unexpectedly broke my s22 ultra one morning and had no options that didn't cost more than the phone for replacing and or fixing it . Yes the screen is a slight change, however the storage space and phone's capabilities makes up for it and some . This phone is definitely a wise investment for any tech savvy user who does everything on their phone . The 12gb ram and 256gb storage are just 2 or the amazing beneficial features that come with this phone . There are several others besides those . I don't think I could ever go back to a phone with anything less than this storage and processor speed ever again .

Having broken my previous phone I needed a new one – compact yet powerful. I’m a videographer, so I wanted one that could provide me with another camera. The 8K video on this is extraordinary. It means that I can pan and zoom into the video in post-production. It has pro control of the settings, so even if I don’t have my equipment with me, I don’t have to miss anything. I carry a small, pop-up tripod to mount it on, so I only need my S25 in my pocket to capture serious, high-quality video. Using it for additional views in a multicamera session is also a bonus. It’s an excellent phone too. Robust, superb hi-res screen and fast, smooth processing.
I recommended this product.

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.

I chose the Galaxy S26 after my previous Galaxy S21 served me very well. I like many of the features that Galaxy offers, but my first noticeable upgrade to the S26 was honestly the speed. Everything is faster since upgrading. My phone calls to families who are long distance are crystal clear, espically when they too are Galaxy users. The camera detail is also fantastic! My most recent trip to Japan had every photo turn out amazing with the option to edit each on to my liking. Im very satisfied with my purchase and because I was a long time user, I got it for a great price. Would highly recommend the Galaxy line if you want quick ease searches.

My new Samsung S26 that I chose is a very nice phone. I really love all the added features. The processor is very responsive and smooth to the touch. Plus the phone is very light in weight. The S26 is a major jump in technology compared to my other phone which was a Samsung . That phone was a A15 it felt like you were holding a brick in your hand. The two phones are light-years apart. The only thing that I am not pleased with and part of the reason the S26 is a smaller phone so it has a smaller battery. Amount of time on a charge is less than the old phone and that is my only thing I am not pleased about the S26. Other than that I love the the S26.

I don't like it. Can't find things I used to have. For example, my flashlight is gone and I don't know how to get it back. It was something I used regularly. I will get a text, and it will not alert me. People have told me they sent a text, but they get a message that I was off-line. ??? NEVER used to happen before. Same thing happens when someone calls me. It won't ring then I get alerted that I missed a call! I will get a notification from Samsung at 4:00 in the morning advising of an update or giving my stats for the day. Really? Who wants to get woken uip at 4:00 in the morninbg. Give me back my old phone and I would be satisfied!

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.

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!

I chose the Galaxy S26 because I needed a fast, reliable smartphone that could handle heavy daily use, and it has exceeded expectations. The performance is incredibly smooth when switching between work apps, GPS navigation, and streaming. The display is vibrant, sharp, and easy to view outdoors in direct sunlight. Battery life easily lasts through an entire busy day without needing a charge before the evening. The camera system takes clean, detailed photos in all lighting, and phone calls are crystal clear on both speaker and Bluetooth. It delivers the ideal balance of speed, durable build quality, and dependable everyday performance.

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.

  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 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.

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.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review of your Galaxy S26, Deepak. It is great to know you are enjoying the sleek, lightweight design and the vibrant Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, crafted to deliver bright, sharp visuals for comfortable everyday use. The strong build quality across the S26 Series is also designed to provide a durable yet refined feel in hand. We are pleased to hear that battery life has been reliable, and that the 50 MP Wide camera with AP‑driven image processing has helped you capture sharp and clear pictures, with enhanced detail and reduced noise, supported by Galaxy AI. The wider camera lenses also allow more light in for improved nightography, and we are glad this has made a positive impact. It is also wonderful to hear that the Galaxy AI features have been genuinely useful in your daily routine. Live Translate, Chat Assist, Photo Assist and Now Brief are all created to simplify tasks and make everyday interactions feel more intuitive. We are glad these have supported your experience so well. We appreciate your comments about hands‑free assistants and voice‑based features too, and it is great to know they have been helpful. From a hardware perspective, the Galaxy S26 features the new ambient island camera design for a sleeker and more modern look, along with the customised Exynos 2600 processor and a larger vapour chamber for improved performance and thermal efficiency. Thank you for sharing your feedback about future enhancements, which we will certainly pass along, as it helps us continue shaping products that better meet your expectations. In the meantime, we are pleased to see that the Galaxy S26 has been a reliable, enjoyable and AI‑enhanced companion for your everyday use.

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.

I've had Samsung Galaxy S models, the last 10 years, probably, and I've been very happy with them. The only problem that I have is I also have Samsung Galaxy S tablet and I don't know why Samsung wouldn't have the power button at the top or the bottom of both models.Why is it on the bottom of the phone and on the top of the tablet ? It's kind of confusing because I use the tablet and I use the phone about the same amount. And I always have to kind of consciously remember tablet power is on the top and the phone power at the bottom tab .. Other then that the Samsung Galaxy S26 plus I have now is excellent.Same as the other Galaxy.S models i've had.. 😊👍

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.

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.

​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.

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.

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.

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.

Been a couple of weeks. I went from s24fe to the s26. Quadrupled my storage to 512GB, and increased my RAM by 50%. So, for that, I am happy. But, sometimes, especially for numbers it will move one of the numbers from near the beginning, to the end of the sequence. And, when responding to a Facebook video sent to me from Messenger, it is difficult to touch the SEND Otherwise, I am appreciating the ease of holding a slightly smaller device. For example, I am able to do pics with one hand easier; and, when on my belt holster it doesn't dig into my belly side. Being a slightly smaller battery capacity, I am happy it lasts as long as my larger s24fe battery

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.

So ive been rocking samsung phones for 20 years now, going back to the S II plus and ive had every model between then and now. I couldn't ever chose another maker or model. You guys finally are making phones to last like my S 8 active used to be the processing speed is phenomenal I have no problem running several apps and blowing threw the internet to fact check things for work. I honestly cant say enough good things about this phone im so glad I chose this particular model its handled all my daily life needs and its still decently affordable and with all the updates it continues to blow me away by becoming more helpful everyday.

My Samsung device has seamlessly integrated into both my daily productivity and downtime. For everyday multitasking, navigation, and staying organized, the responsiveness and battery life are remarkably dependable. ​Where it truly shines for me is handheld gaming and media streaming. The display is crisp, vibrant, and incredibly smooth, handling high-intensity action RPGs with zero stutter or thermal throttling. Switching between work apps, notes, and entertainment during commutes or breaks feels instantaneous. It strikes the perfect balance of a high-performance productivity tool and a reliable gaming device. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

The camera captures clear and vibrant photos, making it great for everyday photography. The display is bright, sharp, and enjoyable for watching videos and browsing. Performance is fast and responsive, with apps opening smoothly and multitasking working without any issues. The design feels premium, and the build quality gives confidence in its durability. Overall, this device offers excellent value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable smartphone.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

So I originally had a SAMSUNG GALAXY S23FE and I loved that phone a lot, compared to all my other Samsung galaxy devices that I had owned previously before getting my new and improved SAMSUNG GALAXY S26. I CHOSE this device because noticed it had way better features then my prior S23FE device from the cameras megapixels, to the speakerphone sound, the screen size, the overall speed of how fast it works, to the beautiful samsung themes, even to the internal and external storage it provies, and pretty much just the overall device itself. I'd say I'm a GALAXY fanatic when it comes to my phones. I am more then happy to refer my friends and family to the world of SAMSUNG devices!!

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 easiest part is using the features that Samsung built in. Small enough to fit in and out of your pocket with a bigger phone capability. Learning to use the phone was not hard. You can turn on and off features with ease and there is a robust amount of apps that work very well with this phone. Switching apps from old phone to this phone worked well with the features that I was used to. The phone doesn't do a lot of irritating actions that you don't want it to counting on your input if desired. The sound is good the pictures are good the operation of apps is very good. For any level of user from novice to experts this phone will do what you need. Recommended

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..

I use my device for gaming pictures and Tracking my health. It offers so many good things to top it off the pictures are almost as if you're standing right there and seeing it visually and in person. Gaming wise, I play quite a few games and it super beneficial the screen is just the right size for me i don't get any headaches from it I absolutely enjoy playing games and how large my screen is , I went from a twenty four ultra plus to an s twenty six i like the difference in the screen size.I like how my screen is smaller but still manageable i love how my phone can fit in my pocket finally , instead of being this bulk that I can't get into any of my pockets.

I am greatful for the productivity features built into this device . Very convenient for a variety of tasks that would usually require me to use my laptop. I still haven't utilized many for the features however I plan on getting around to doing so,at least to get familiarized with them. I just recently performed a device update and in the process of reorganizing my apps and app drawer layout for a more convenient way to access the tools for various projects Im currently working on. This helps seamlessly improve my work flow and prevents me from getting sidetracked by other things in my device unrelated to the task at hand.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a great phone overall. The display is bright, sharp, and easy to see even in direct sunlight. The color looks fantastic, and the Galaxy AI features are genuinely useful for everyday tasks. The battery life is average, and I also wish it had UWB support, especially for using the phone as a digital car key. Overall, it's a solid phone with a great display, useful AI features, and an attractive design, with just a couple of areas that could be improved. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S26 is a great phone with an excellent display, useful AI features, and an attractive design. If you can live with average battery life, it's a solid choice.

Omg! Let me just say I am very impressed with my new AS26! Especially the new AI capabilities that come with it. I think my new favorite feature is the call captions, which transcribe my call into text in real time. It does get some words wrong but I think that is due to the call quality from the other caller. I still have a lot of exploring to do with my phone because I've only had it 2 days now but I just can't believe how much this phone has to offer, it's insane! I also love how the AI can take what is on my screen and add it to my calendar! I mean come on, that saves me so much time.... The privacy screen is awesome too! Good luck topping this one Samsung!!!

I pre-ordered then traded my Galaxy S25 up to the new Galaxy S26 through Samsung/Asurion again, this is the fifth time I have done this and again it was seamless. My new phone is so good, it is faster, slightly bigger, although not noticeable and is a great upgrade that I make every year when the new model is released. I couldn't be happier with my new phone, the price and the overall process of the trade-up program arranged by Samsung is the best way to upgrade particularly when you pre-order and get the 512Gb for the price of 256Gb plus some other discounts for pre-ordering this fantastic phone. I love it. Thankyou Samsung . I will be back for more.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a powerful new smartphone with a bright screen, strong performance, and good cameras. It has a smooth display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, so scrolling and gaming feel very smooth. The phone runs on a fast new chip and came with 512 GB storage, which is good for apps, photos, and videos. It also has many AI features that help with photo editing, translation, and smart suggestions. The camera is solid and can take clear photos in both day and night. The battery usually lasts a full day for me. The design is really gives you feeling good and is about right size for my pocket to carry around.

When i chose this phone I got more than I was expecting. But then again I didn't really look all that close at everything it featured when I ordered it. I'm an old lady so I am still confused about all of the AI stuff but it seems really intense especially if you subscribe to some of the AI features. I basically use my phone for gaming and streaming. And of course for texting and phone calls, lol. I also use it a lot for YouTube. I think it is a pretty great phone but the only downside to it is that when it updates it will automatically put games on your phone so I have to go in and remove them every so often because I don't play 5hise particular games what so ever.

I like all about it with the exception of the fingerprint and face recognition. After a day maybe it got to where it could not verify my fingerprint. Amd half the time says ita not me for the facial recognition. Other than that it is great. It's very fast, plenty of storage. The camera is unbelievable. Running powerful AI and python code is very doable on here. The in-house Galaxy AI is brilliant, as is the image studios. The ability to integrate Gemini and Perplexity is great as well. If a fix or cure for my fingerprint and facial problems is found, this would be a 5 and no complaints at all. Even with them, this is still the best phone I have ever had. Keep it up!

​The Galaxy S26 has been an incredible upgrade for both my professional and personal routine. Between preparing course materials and managing a heavy workload, the Galaxy AI features have been a massive help for quickly organizing notes and streamlining my daily schedule. Beyond work, the device is an absolute powerhouse for entertainment. The screen is incredibly vibrant, and the processor handles demanding mobile games like Epic Seven and Harry Potter: Magic Awakened flawlessly without stuttering or draining the battery too fast. It's a fantastic daily driver that perfectly balances my productivity with my downtime.

I pre-ordered the Samsung S26 Ultra. I didn't want to review it until I had sat with it for some time and I will say it is an amazing phone the performance is incredible. Obviously the display has elevated quite a bit for me, personally, I am enjoying it way more than my previous phone, and I love that it takes up most of the phone space. I mean the camera is a given I don't even need to say much for that. On the concept of durability for me personally I do think so far it has been great ( you couldnt imagine how many times i've dropped it) however i haven't had it long enough to really say anything on that but i mean samsung has always been quite durable for me. the battery so far its been great it lasts quite some time, but again I haven't had the phone for like a year so so far, so good.

I've swapped from iPhone 15 Pro to Samung S26 due to size of the phone. Not all applications were transferred between phones which gives me opportunity to clean up apps to only those that I really use. I was afraid that it will e difficult to understand the One UI OS but it is very intuitive. And options for customisation are endless. I like highly advanced AI with regular messages about my day. Battery life over 2 weeks is very good but this is a new phone and during work I cannot use it. I stalling the esim was easy and was able to get straight connection with the ID network. So far I'm very happy with the swap.

Friend of mine bought this and I have the S26 basic . After a couple of time we compared the 2 phones, I kinda regret buying the basic S26. Performance is so , so, much higher and the display is amazing. For me the camera wwasn't a big deal , but he is using for take great pictures and the AI help adjust to perfection. Sadly all this good comes with a cost as the battery doesn't last too long, is still amazingly long if you using the full potential of the phone but compared to the basic S26 battery life its a noticeable difference . Overall its great phone if you using the full potential, highly recommended!

My S23 was dying, so I went to purchase a new S25, I was then told the new S26 was coming out in a few weeks, I was ecstatic. It seems like it took forever to receive the phone, but it finally arrived. It had the same feelings as the S23, a bit larger, bit not an issue. Although the other models have some great features, I just can't get used to having a larger phone in my pocket. I got to use the AI on some of my pics while on vacation, quick and easy to use, great results. I use my S26 for both personal and professional, the transferring all data for the old one to the new was seriously painless and fairly quick. Ala in all it has been a very good experience.

When it was time to trade in my s20 I looked at a few different phones. I'm glad I chose the s26. The quality of Samsung phones let's me feel good about purchasing the s26, knowing I'll get years of updates and the phone will last past many phone model upgrades. I also have a Samsung tablet that pairs seamlessly with this phone, I love that it's so easy to continue what I was doing on the tablet or vice versa. I can also take phone calls on my tablet. All in all, the s26 is worth the price. It takes wonderful pictures, crisp sound to listen to music and all the features you want in a phone. Best purchase ever!

I've always had Samsung phones and this one is a fantastic upgrade from my previous model. I love the new Now Brief feature. It tracks my day-to-day and understands my habits better than before. Exercise playlist recommendations and reminders about important events, like booking details and special travel moments, are now all available as bite-sized briefs sent throughout the day I also love the upgrades to Samsung health, it pairs amazingly with my watch and the run coach will have up running 10km in no time. The camera is a huge improvement to my previous model and photos is low light are no longer a problem. Overall i love this phone and think it a great upgrade.

It’s wonderful to hear that the Galaxy S26 felt like a strong upgrade from your previous model, KLM88. It’s great to know you’re enjoying the Now Brief feature and how it adapts to your daily routine with personalised reminders and recommendations. We’re also glad the updates to Samsung Health have stood out for you, especially how smoothly it pairs with your watch and supports your fitness goals. We’re pleased to hear that the camera improvements have also made a difference, particularly when capturing photos in low‑light conditions thanks to the wider apertures.

I chose the Samsung galaxy s26 because I had a Motorola moto g and it stopped taking a charge and I was still paying on it so I wanted to try something different. Although I am very disappointed because the battery on the Samsung galaxy s26 is terrible it does not make it through one day. Also the camera is not that clear and no auto red eye correction. The camera is also blurry and the focus is not that good. There is so much that should have been added to this phone for the price you pay it should have more features. The screen is also smaller. There is no head phone jack if you like that. Processing speed is on the slower side. No additional memory can be added.

My Galaxy A15 5G bit the dust hard, after spontaneously rebooting several times a day it finally would not boot at all. I choose to replace it with the Galaxy S26, it's great device - love the speed of the processor. I'm certainly glad I elected to go with the 256GB storage, as the AI software and overall bloatware has taken a significant chunk of the storage Overall I'm pleased with the new device, with the exception of the battery life. A Brand new Galaxy S26 battery requires charging as often as my 4-year-old Galaxy A15, once a day. Perhaps I'm naive expecting more from a new device, but I don't think so.

I upgraded to this phone and wad excited to get a new phone!! I was a little disappointed in the beginning because I had a lot of issues with service. Whenever I would connect to my wifi I wouldn't have internet on my phone. Things have gotten better so I'm very pleased with that. There are so many AMAZING features with Goodle, Galaxy Ai, the amazing photo editor, being able to circle what I want information on in a photo. There are still so many cool things I am discovering daily. I've only had the phone for 2 months. If the coverage issues keeps improving then I will definitely give 5 stars!! I wish the phone was a tad bit bigger. It makes it hard to type on the keyboard.

Just upgraded to the Galaxy S26 from Galaxy S21 which has been such a reliable hassle free phone for a number of years. I can really notice the processing / app speed difference and the AI interaction functionality with Google Gemini is a great experience, which I'm using daily in work and personal applications. Ive had galaxy Mobiles from the start and Iam a brand loyalist, because you get the best phone on the planet from Samsung and a decent comparitive price. The quality is in your hand.

I can't get over how great my new Samsung Galaxy S26 is! Aside from the obvious calling/messaging uses, there are so many more reasons to love a Galaxy S26. I chose to get one because my previous phone of seven years decided to expire on me. The photos and videos I make are just outstanding. Speed wise, the S26 is lightning fast. There's plenty of room for the apps I need and my S26 is very important to me because I use it to control my personal monitors when I'm playing bass and singing with my band Bad Habit! I'll recommend the Galaxy S26 to anyone who asks and I'm glad I chose it as my newest phone.

I absolutely love this phone I was excited from the moment I ordered it, to the moment now where I'm writing this review. the processing speed is far superior to any phone I've used. it can power multiple devices without even thinking. the new Galaxy AI system is top of it's class. the phone does all the work for you. the camera? forget about it. you basically own a crystal clear high end piece of film equipment. I love this phone. I like to download games and play them for a lil extra money and it handles everything with complete ease. I can't stand the other competitor products. we all know who I'm talking about. it's fast, it's easy, it's seamless, and it's user friendly.

I upgraded to the s26 from an older samsung and it's been great. It's incredibly smooth, with seamless transitions for different modes and customizations. The Galaxy AI integration in the image editor has made it incredibly accurate for removing, altering, and moving items in photos. It can play videos in many speeds and save edits in seconds. The 50mp camera is great for group shots to get the detail of everyone's face. And the added storage is fantastic for all the apps I have for managing finance, social media, tools, and entertainment. Samsung money also continues to provide a best in class high yield checking and savings combo that works for everything. Just loving this!

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ I've been using the Galaxy S26 for a while now, and overall I'm very happy with it. The phone is fast, smooth, and feels premium in the hand. The display is bright, vibrant, and excellent for everyday use. The cameras produce very good photos with great detail and natural colours. While they're not on the same level as the Ultra model, they're more than good enough for everyday photography and capture consistently impressive results. Battery life comfortably gets me through the day, and the compact size makes the phone comfortable to hold and use one-handed. Overall, it's an excellent flagship for anyone who prefers a smaller phone without compromising on performance.

The S23 Ultra was already an amazing phone. It had: Very powerful performance Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Excellent 200MP camera with strong zoom Long battery life easily a full day or more. The Guardian Premium design with built-in S Pen Honestly, even today it still feels fast and reliable. Many people still use it without problems. Why I upgraded to S26 Ultra. The S26 Ultra feels like a more refined and smarter version of the S23 Ultra. Big improvements I noticed: Faster and smoother performance everything feels instant Better camera processing especially night photos and zoom clarity, Brighter and smoother display, Improved, battery efficiency, New AI features and smarter software.

Very similar to the s25 I used as a trade-in. Hardware wise, it's the same basic camera. The phone doesn't sit flush on a flat surface--very wobbly with the protruding camera bump. Otherwise, not that much has changed. Horizontal lock on videos is nice. Still no Qi2 magnets on the phone. Galaxy AI features are so, so.... Microphone quality is good. Speakers are clear and balanced. Remain disappointed in no memory expansion slot on flagship phones; a feature that has been sorely missed since the S10! Love the fact that it still has DeX! Overall, it's very nice, but nothing particularly noteworthy. Just my 2¢.

I have been a die hard samsung fan for years. But I will say that the bigger phone sizes and clanky buttons have gotten to me. So I was a bit unsure about the galaxy s26. But I will say I love it. It's very light weight and can be used with only one hand which is amazing when your dog g other things like holding packages, items or food. But don't let the light weight fool you. It's powerful as well, that in built AI has given me so much more ability to do other things I couldn't before, be a painter (still bad at it haha), a translator and also block those spam calls. 10/10 would recommend this phone

Had this for a few weeks now and really happy with it. Screen is bright and sharp, easy to read outside. Phone's light and comfy in the hand. Battery is the best part — lasts all day easy, sometimes into the next morning. My old phone needed charging twice a day so this is a big upgrade. Camera takes great shots, colours look natural, low light is way better than I expected. The 3x zoom is handy too. It's fast, no lag at all. The AI stuff is actually useful — I use Circle to Search all the time now. Only downside is charging feels a bit slow for the price. Otherwise can't fault it. Really glad I got it.

I upgraded to the Galaxy S26 recently and have been really impressed so far. The phone feels premium in the hand and runs smoothly even when switching between apps and multitasking. The camera takes sharp, vibrant photos and performs well in different lighting conditions. Battery life has been reliable throughout the day and charging has been convenient. I also like the display quality and overall design. There are lots of small improvements that make everyday use feel easier and more polished. Overall, it feels like a well thought out upgrade and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a premium Android phone.

I've had the s26 for about 2 weeks now and I can honestly say it was the best choice I made getting this phone, I really enjoy taking photos and this phone is perfect for that. The camera is fantastic and the photos quality is awesome, that battery lasts so much longer than my old phone. I love the phones display layout, it's so easy to find what you are looking for. The performance of the phone is super fast, picking up signal in areas I could not before. I myself am very clumsy and this phone is perfect for me it's durability being outstanding. 100% would recommend the Samsung s26 to anyone and everyone!

I moved away from a Samsung phone after several years on the advice of others, big mistake, everyday I was sorry. I am back with Samsung now to stay, not once since making the move to come back have I been sorry. Samsung is so user friendly and versatile. If I want my phone to do it, I just need to do some research and find out how. I really love that I can hold my finger down on an app icon, press the "i" and it goes right to where I can make changes to that app in a flash with out having to search in settings to find where to make the change! Thanks Samsung for continuing to make such a great phone!!

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra completely redefines what a flagship smartphone should be. My absolute favorite feature is the groundbreaking Privacy Display, which keeps sensitive screen content completely hidden from side angles while maintaining crystal-clear visuals from the front—perfect for commuting. ​Beyond privacy, the device is an absolute performance powerhouse. The Galaxy AI integration makes everyday tasks effortless, from real-time call translation to smart photo editing. The camera setup continues to impress with stunning low-light clarity and crisp long-range zoom capabilities. Combined with all-day battery life and a sleek design, it’s an incredible daily driver.

I've only had my S26 a couple of weeks but so far I am very happy with it. Battery life is good, pictures are clear and sharp, display is excellent and easy to see especially in sunlight. Performance has been great with quick response time and easy setup. Durability seems good but I added a case for extra protection. I like the size of the S26 ... it's a little smaller then the Plus and the Ultra. I've had a number of Samsung phones and tablets and had great luck with them all except for my Samsung Flip 5 ... the inner screen went in 2 years which was very disappointing. Hope the S26 lasts longer.

Had this for a month or so now. Battery lasts well and AI features come in very handy. I like the new rounded edges (I've come from the S23 Ultra) Solid design and still getting used to all the new functions which I've only scratched the surface of Not had any issue with connectivity whether it be 4g 5g or wifi. I have dropped it oonce already and only got a small crack on my screen protector so I'd say it's pretty durable. I use it at work, I'm on the tools so it goes through the motions with me. Love the camera and the front end interface looks good and easy to navigate around. I play top games and have no issues with it performance and the big screen is a pleasure to play on.

I bought this about a month ago and I'm so happy that I did. It's way faster than my previous phone. The display is brilliant having so amazing colours. The camera is definitely one of the best I ever used catching so many details in low light. The battery life seems pretty much the same as my Samsung Galaxy S21 but I didn't opt for the Ultra version of this phone so I can't really complain. Overall I'm very happy with my upgrade.

Love the phone. It is far faster than my current Samsung, also battery lasts significantly longer and feels lighter to hold. The display is incredibly bright, though the size of the smartphone is not massive. Transferring files were no fuss and I truly feel pleased wit, my upgrade and I am convinced the phone will last gor years as most of my previous Samsung models did. The only downside I didn't receive a free case as per offer.

I traded in my old S21 Ultra with Telstra for a new S26 phone one week ago and am absolutely delighted with my new phone. As much as I loved my old phone it was a large phone and I deliberately chose the S26 because of its smaller size. It fits so much better in my shirt pocket and is much lighter and is a refreshing change. I am also impressed with the AI features and the really good pictures from its camera as well as it's great bright display. Being smaller, but not too small feels just right in my hand and it was a great choice. I far prefer it to the larger sizes still offered and its just perfect.

I finally needed an upgrade from my S20 Ultra and decided to go for the base S26. It is such a huge upgrade from what I was using it's crazy! Galaxy AI is one of the coolest features I've seen yet and I absolutely love the ease of using it as well. I got the purple and I absolutely love the color. It fits in your hands perfectly (my S20 was a beast and hard to use with one hand!) and it's easy to hold and use with one hand which is so, so nice. The camera isn't anything extraordinary but I really like the overall functionality and speed of my phone and all the apps a lot. 10/10 a super great upgrade!!!

I chose the Galaxy S26 after using my S24 for about three years, and I’m genuinely pleased with the change. I love the phone’s size and sleek design—it looks great, feels comfortable to carry, and is easy to use throughout the day. The impressive specs and advanced technology make a noticeable difference, and I especially appreciate having built-in AI features. I rely on my phone to stay organized with family and personal responsibilities, manage work and jobs, and keep things moving while I’m on the go. I’m still discovering everything the Galaxy S26 can do, but so far, it has been a fantastic upgrade.

overall pretty good. great battery life, performance, camera. some things I wish were different: 1. size: the old s22 and even s10e were great compact phones. the base model has only gotten bigger and bigger. what ever happened to pocketable phones. 2. magnets: the whole "qi2 ready" thing is pretty lame. Why even say that when we have to buy a case and specialized accessories that fit the massive camera bump. super misleading. 3. battery. please give us the new silicon carbon batteries. other brands are already doing it. also I don't really use galaxy AI much but the circle to search is super useful.

Brought this device over a month ago and really impressed with the speed and display on the camera is amazing the battery life really does last enough time for to get out on the open water and take some really great pictures. The device is with able to withstand some impact as I am a landscaper and always have my device in a pocket. The overall performance is outstanding and really will stand up to the tasks I put it through

Bought the S26 about 2 months ago, and i must say its an amazing phone, there are so many cool and functional things about it; the camera, the processing speed, the display, the AI usage etc etc. The battery life is really good, and it lasts a long time whilst also charging really fast. Also, ive dropped it a few times, no scratches, no cracks, no damage, the durability is amazing. Interface is really easy put together and a child could manage the device im sure. The connectivity of it is okay, however at times this can be a little glitchy however ive found that it usually is the app and not the phone.

Can't say how happy I am with this new samsung. The quality of the camera is something else, much clearer than my previous S24 which was pretty good! The size of the phone is perfect, not too big or small. Its also very fast when searching or scrolling, the screen is so clear and vibrant. Only had it a day and already see how good it is going to be. Still got a lot to explore on the S26 but loving it already!! This phone is slightly bigger than my previous one, however it doesn't feel heavier. The touch screen is smooth and doesn't lag. I would definitely recommend this phone to my friends and family.
