Galaxy S26 | S26+

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.

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 !!!

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 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.

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.

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.

I've been using this Samsung phone for a few weeks now, and I'm very impressed with the overall experience. The battery life easily lasts all day, even with heavy usage. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 bought the Samsung S26 ultra on June 2nd and I honestly dont regret buying this phone, The battery life is really good and can last me all dah without charging it and the phone charges really fast. The display is bright, smooth and makes everything looks clear. The camera quality is soo sharp and takes amazing pictures and has a really high magnifier, The phone is lightweight, very strong amd durable, and the performance is vey fast with apps opening quickly and run really smooth. Overall, this is a very great and it worths buying, i think this is one pf the best decisions of my life to buy a the S26 ultra and i also look forward to buy more samsung products. Thanks

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!

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 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.

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'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.

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.

Upgraded after a few years with the ZFold5. The development in all parameters is excellent. Battery easily copes with all day use, and the fast charging means a boost takes minutes. Build quality is as expected from Samsung, for this reason they are my go to brand for all my electronics - fridge, TV, headphones. Connectivity is fast, WiFi speeds are noticeably better than my Fold5 despite being on the same WiFi. AI integration into the interface/ OS was a bit advertising point, the best features such as summary or the browser assist work quietly in the background making the user experience top notch.

Upgraded from an S23. Somewhat better functionality, currently searching for how to disable the side bars and wallet swipe features, handy if they're things you would use frequently but that aspect is not something that appeals to me personally. Faster load times for some apps, I've had a few connectivity issues with third party devices needing to be resynced to handset with every use, such as Logitech headphones. It could be a me problem, I'm not always savvy enough troubleshooting those types of problems and sometimes I just cannot be a*sed. Does what I need it to other than that. Good 9/10.

I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 and I'm very impressed with the overall experience. The performance is fast and smooth, allowing apps, multitasking, and gaming to run without issues. The display is bright, sharp, and vibrant, making videos and everyday use enjoyable. The camera captures detailed photos with excellent colors in different lighting conditions. Battery life is reliable and easily lasts through a full day of regular use. The phone also feels premium and durable, with a solid build quality that gives confidence for long-term use. Samsung has delivered an excellent flagship device with a great balance of performance, camera quality, display, battery life, and durability
