This Phone is amazing. I used to own a Samsung A13 which has recently ran out of updates so I decided to upgrade to the Samsung A26. The phone is awesome with its 50MP camera and its AI features. The battery life on the samsung A26 is amazing giving a full day on of use. The screen its extremely good because it adapts to the light so you can always see the screen even when the sun is shining also the performance of the device is decent for playing games on and preforming small tasks on the go. Its 5G connectivity is amazing and extremely fast keeping you connected at extremely fast speeds.

Ever since I started using a Cell Phone it's either been a Motorola [only about 4 phones] or a Samsung [20+ phones owned]! Not ONLY will I ALWAYS be an Android User but I live for Samsungs! I've NVR had any major issues w/any of them & I know my way around the Samsung features & I can't live w/out one! I went from a Samsung Galaxy A23 to now the A26 & I can't function properly w/out the new Galaxy AI features! It's so easy to use & navigate & it helps me w/my Day to Day!! I'm always looking forward to seeing how Samsung Galaxies improve with each new upgraded device! Please NVR cease the creation of Samsung Galaxy products for I'd be totally lost!!

I love using this phone for gaming and drawing .overall this is my favorite Samsung phone I've had since the s22 and s22 plus I previously had the Samsung A26 is a good price and it's features are very good for a budget phone.if u want Ai it has it .If u want play some Diablo immortal or dungeon hunters 6 (mainly dungeon hunters 6),or dungeon hunters 5 your wilk have very vivid colors and can see a whole lot more beautiful colors. the graphics are pretty cool and nice. I believe because of the 6.7 super AMOLED display that makes the difference between the regular OLED screens.I believe that this phone is the best affordable price for me overall .

I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the back being glass? I guess I should look that up. It's my first time owning a Samsung. I always buy Motorola. However, I needed a replacement and that's what was available at the time. This Samsung broke 1st week I had it, because im not used to such a fancy, fragile phone. I need a more rugged phone. I'm mostly outdoors and crafting. So, that's why I liked Motorola. Because they have a phone with rubbery back. Anti slide. I loved it. Most likely I'm going back to Motorola as soon as I can afford one. Unless Samsung offers me a trial device similar. I have to switch just because of that feature.

Camera is good. Editing options are ok but I feel that I can edit better in Google photos. Battery life is good, but it's a new phone so you would expect that. The fast charger I used on my previous phone was a 67w one which does not work on this phone. I've had to switch to a 25w one, so it is slower to charge than I am used to. The display is good, although sometimes a little slow to respond when you go from a normal to very bright light, but I've got used to it now. No issues or loss of quality with music playback either with the phones speaker or when connected via Bluetooth. Overall performance is fine, I am generally happy with the phone.

I really like the functionality of my A26 5G. I use it for school work, entertainment, bus schedules, a TV remote and pretty much everything else. I like the fact that it doesn't slow down even when I have multiple tabs open. I never have any issues with connections (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, sync cable, etc.). I do wish that it had a way to turn the flashlight on by movement. Also, while I like the professional look and style that it has, I do wish it was made a little more durable as well. The outer glass construction is very reminiscent of phones I've seen from other manufacturers. All in all, solid phone. I would definitely recommend it and buy one again.

Galaxy AI has become a key component to making the interface more informative and accurate in predicting my wants and needs when doing searches or touching up photos. The quality of photos and video is excellent, call quality is great. The only slight lag I have had since getting this device is with the speed in data from my mobile provider which has nothing to do with the phones capabilities. Having 6gb ram really makes a big difference compared to the 4gb I had previously with the Samsung Galaxy A15, I am very impressed with this device and would recommend it to anyone I who was deciding between the day Samsung Galaxy A16 and the Samsung Galaxy A26!

I've had this phone for over a month now and I'm very satisfied! Previously, I had a Galaxy A15 5G and I loved my phone. It was so quick and the battery lasted all day...until it didn't. As soon as my storage was most used up, the phone changed completely. I needed an immediate upgrade! This phone has so much storage it's so nice to be able not to have to pick and choose which appsnI want, and be able to have them all whiteout the phone crapping out on me. Also, the battery lasts till the end of the day . Also, the camera is much better! It takes beautiful pictures! I highly recommend this phone for a budget friendly option.

We replaced our very old iPhones with Samsung Galaxy on the recommendation of our eldest daughter, battery life had become an issue with the old phones and the small screen size wasn't very good for our aging eyes. The new Galaxy A26 5G had everything we needed and has proven to have excellent battery life, a good size screen, the zoom facility on the camera was a great bonus and the overall performance of the phone has been excellent, another great feature is the easy connectivity between other Bluetooth items I use including the car. A great phone and so easy to use we wish we hadn't waited so long to change our old phones.

I bought the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G about a month ago, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with its performance. The display is crisp and vibrant, making it great for streaming and browsing. The 5G connectivity is fast and reliable, which is a huge plus. Battery life easily lasts a full day with moderate to heavy use, and charging is quick enough to get back up and running without much downtime. The phone handles everyday tasks smoothly, though it's not meant for heavy gaming. The camera is decent in daylight but struggles a bit in low-light conditions. Overall, it's a solid mid-range device offering great value for the price.

I bought this phone 7 months ago,So far it working in its best performance, Its has a fast charging battery that lasts me for more hours than my past phone,Better display than any other device I ever had,best quality camera even though it doesn't take good pictures inside shelter, It once fell on a tar road surface with its front glass luckily it didn't break not even a stretch, I was so shocked but unfortunately the back glass broke at the corner which was not bad but because of constantly using it it spread across the whole glass.I recommend it as an entry -mid phone ,very affordable, good camera quality,best display.

This phone is so great for the price. It feels like something between the entry-level A17 and mid-range A36/56. It is very smooth for daily use, video quality is amazing and camera is decent. I love this phone. But the device does occasionally overheat when 5G is enabled. The battery usually last me 24 hours+, depending if I game or not. I've only had it for two months but I've dropped it quite a few time, usually on concrete but the screen is in perfect condition and the body only has a single dent. The Super Amoled is exactly what they sold me, smooth and crisp. Though im a bit disappointed it doesn't have AOD.

This is my third Samsung Galaxy phone.\n I got the first one because I was frustrated with another brand. I am so glad that I found this phone. The features are great, it's fast and very dependable. I have even dropped a few times and it takes a little bit of a beating. I used my camera a lot, which I am very impressed with Are you school apps which keeps me updated?Until this last one i never used AI but now it's my go to all the time better than just searching Google. And if you haven't used it, you can actually talk to it if it gives you something that you don't think is right, you can tell it that, and it'll explain it to you greatest thing. About the phone I think

I purchased this A26 to replace my S10e. I am impressed that the "A" series phone does about everything my S model did, and more. I stayed with Samsung because I love the "Smart Switch" where I could transfer all of my apps and files from my old phone via bluetooth. It was seamless. When the transfer was completed, my new phone arranged the icons exactly like they were on my old phone so I didn't have trouble finding anything. Battery life is great on this phone. I would buy it again. Also, I like knowing it will get updates for the next 6 years since I generally keep my phone as long as it is working properly.

I have been pretty loyal with my cellphone choices, always going with a galaxy. This time after my a52 finally broke so I could no longer charge her, I had to get the A26. And she is just as good. And is holding up with how hard I am on phones. I am truly impressed. The only real problem I've had has to do with charging her and the battery dying super fast. But I know it is because of me not the phone. I don't know how or why or what I do to mess up the charger port. I'm also excited to start using the galaxy AI I never thought the AI would be so smart and useful. Thank you Samsung for your galaxy lines

The Galaxy A26 5G has been a total game changer for me. As a student, it handles everything I need from attending online classes and watching educational podcasts to writing notes and researching on the go. On top of that, it's my daily entertainment hub. COD Mobile runs smoothly with zero lag, and the vibrant display makes gaming and streaming super enjoyable. I even use it to clock in at work. it literally supports me from morning to night. The battery life is impressive, and the 5G speeds are blazing fast. Honestly, Samsung packed premium performance into an affordable package. I couldn't ask for more!

This is absolutely the best phone I have ever owned! My favorite part(s) would be the camera quality (front and rear), Galaxy AI, and the durability. I'm a military parent and this phone allows me to capture all of those moments that are special to me in a quality I have never experienced before. While I'm at work, I use Galaxy AI for troubleshooting, and it gives me quick and accurate information so I can complete the task. Last, but not least, the durability and battery life help keep my day moving forward smoothly so I never have to worry about stopping to charge my phone mid-day. 10/10 recommend!!!

I activated my Samsung A26 5G, about a week ago. This phone is blazing fast, takes awesome pictures, easy to operate, has a sharp Galaxy AI, with 'awesome intelligence'. This phone is accurate on everything, and has a good long lasting battery. One of the things that I LOVE about this phone,is that it has an expansion card slot. I had added a card, and expected the phone to walk me through everything on how to use it, but I either didn't see it/skipped it accidentally, or setup & use walk-through was not available. And the news just showing up on the lock screen? Not really intrusive, but please consider having the option available to shut it off. It is a truly great phone.

Could be manageable for small, daily tasks.. But keep in mind that it has a plastic build, average, or below average camera performance, and no 3.5mm jack. Below average performance, with significant quality drop-off on camera with very poor low-light photos, & slower charging speeds. The biggest problem for me is lag, can take quite some time to switch between apps, as a matter of fact, its pretty slow to load just about anything.. BUT, on the plus side, if it has the most current and up to date system running, then it should be equipped with Galaxy AI installed, to assist with all of your researching/tech jobs, helping you to hone in on the key highlights of all sorts of articles!

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A26 for a while now. Honestly, for me, it is not big enough or strong enough. The physical size feels a bit small in my hands, and the processing power lacks the heavy-duty strength I need for intensive multitasking or high-end gaming. ​However, it does really well for what it is. The phone is exceptionally good for the price. What stands out the most is the camera performance; it provides very good pictures with impressive clarity and very good quality video that looks incredibly sharp. If you need a reliable daily driver that captures great memories without breaking the bank, this hits the sweet spot. Like I said, for the price, I could not be happier.

Vino con fallo de fabrica!! Como no reclame en los 14 días dese la entrega no quisieron rembolsarme ni cambiarme el equipo (No llame dentro de los 14 días porque el fallo era mínimo y fue empeorando con los días). Llamé al servicio técnico y pasaron a retirar el móvil sin dejarme uno de sustitución durante una semana entera. El móvil que se llevaron para reparar tenia un vidrio templado, pues me lo devolvieron SIN vidrio. No tuvieron ni la gentileza de instalarme nuevamente un vidrio templado. Lo compre desde la pagina de Samsung para no tener inconvenientes y fue todo lo contario, un desastre!!

I just bought it this month upgrading from the Galaxy A13 4G, I really love this device, it's quite fast, my first time using a cellphone with an amoled screen I'm quite amazed 👏🏼 now I can tap to pay because it is packed with NFC. I really bow to Samsung for One UI 7, its 💯% the best in the land 🔥🔥🔥 and I can't wait for One UI 🎱 😎. The battery lasts a day and a half even though I do gaming and consume social media and that's new to me 😊 ... the only deal breakers are the absent headphone jack and monospeaker. Overall the phone is a 9/10... a budget phone with mid-tier features🔥🔥🔥

This phone has more features than I know.How to use. It has multiple camera functions and the photos are great. It has plenty of storage.\nWith an option to add a s d card for even more storage. It's easy to use even for a person like me.That isn't too hip twelve technology. Oh , and don't get me started on that galaxy AI; i've used it to make resumes, i've used it to help me fix my car, and it seemed to be able to answer any question i've had. So I recommend this phone to anybody that wants a phone that functions like a high end high priced model with the price tag that doesn't hurt as bad.

I have been a Galaxy gurl since they came out. This particular model is one of my favorite the Galaxy S26 is hands down one of the smoothest phones I’ve used. The screen is bright and clear, apps run fast, and the battery easily lasts all day. What really stands out is the new Samsung AI — it can summarize texts, translate conversations, and even clean up photos with a single tap. The camera takes sharp shots, especially in low light, and charging is super quick when you need it. Overall, it feels less like just a phone and more like a smart assistant that actually makes daily life easier.

I love my Galaxy A26 phone! I've had it for a few years now and I don't know what I would do without it! I use it for so much more than to just make calls, it is also my alarm clock, and my emergency flashlight when the power goes out and I can't find my actual flashlight in the dark! The pre-installed apps are great and the Galaxy AI is a wonderful tool to use, for just about anything one could need an answer for...and I ask a lot of questions!! Everyone around me says I should upgrade my phone, to a newer device, but I just can't! I'm beginning to think maybe I should upgrade my friends! Thank you Samsung for the best cell phone I've ever owned to date (and before this one there's been a few)!!

I purchased this because I was buying a phone for my granddaughter. The phone saves everything I share on social media to my gallery. Not a fan of having to weed through the memes and videos to get to actual pictures that I wasn't too keep. The memory fills up really fast and and is usually with things I looked at and not what I wanted to save. The phone glitches when trying to charge. Sometimes it won't charge for a few days then miraculously it will charge again. There's so much I dislike, for the love of brevity, I've been extremely unhappy with the performative nature of the phone.

I absolutely cannot function without my phone. It hold my schedules from 2 separate jobs, it holds my financial information, and my music. I drive for a limo company and a tour bus company. My phone manages my scheduling between the 2. It holds each of the contracts with all the details and itineraries. It also supplies my maps needed for both jobs. I paid a little more for the upgraded memory but its so worthwhile to have the piece of mind that it can handle absolutely everything I've thrown at it. Including several streaming services that I use while waiting for teams, tourists, and customers. Absolutely love this phone. The Galaxy AI is amazing as well, its useful during trips and for freetime.

I had an A16 for more years than I care to mention and just loved it (which is why I kept it so long). It finally quit holding battery power, so I upgraded. I hoped for a better camera in the new model, but it's pretty much the same. When you get a text, it doesn't pop on on your closed screen like the A16--you have to unlock it to see it. It doesn't wake up with a touch--just thru movement (which causes it to wake up at inconvenient times, like in your pocket). Nothing about it is an upgrade and I must admit to being deeply disappointed. It does have good battery life though.

So I only buy Samsung phones, ion pay with I nothing. The Samsung Galaxy AI is fab. The circle search feature saves my life so much. I can be looking for a game, shoes, clothes, whatever I can find it. The double screen feature where I can play my game and watch YouTube, or be on a social media site eats. And this not even the top phone. Just to let yall know. I'm on the bottom tier. So you know if you get any of the S series or Z series is going Tina Turn it. I love Samsung real bad. I'm going get a washer and dryer that's how much I love she trust Samsung.

It is just the basic almost cheapest phone they have if you are trying to budget phone with plan and buying a charger now too. I have had mine for almost 2 years now, I like it and It works fine for me. Standard OS that comes, no bells and whistles attached. Basic market phone have added apps. Streamed movies on it. Played games. Used good amounts of storage and it still works fine. Sometimes constant use will make battery a little on hot side but overall good phone, good price, and just good overall. Would highly recommend for someone wanting to replace phone quickly.

Pros: Excellent 6-year software support, IP67 rating, vibrant 120Hz AMOLED display, reliable main camera, microSD card slot for expandable storage. Cons: 25W charging is slow for 2025, no headphone jack, no wireless charging, underwhelming ultrawide and macro cameras, performance lags behind some rivals. In summary, the Galaxy A26 5G is a durable and future-proof phone with a great display and solid core camera, ideal for users who value software longevity and build quality over top-tier performance and fast charging. I'm not sure about any Galaxy AI but maybe ..

So I mean, how awesome is it? That Galaxy made a watch that is not only just a Fitbit and personal trainer. Basically, themotivate you and place you and keep track of your fitness journey, but to also be able to run music gaming Apps GPS and the available space to download multiple apps. For instance, the on x app that I love. That was the main reason that I gotta watch so that I could use it on the trails. And it hasn't let me down yet.I've been through all kinds of cool new destinations because i'm able to have the trails laid out for me right there on my wrist

This phone works well for everyday use, as well as gaming and video streaming capabilities. I also use my phone for work, and it holds up very well, no issues with data uploads. My photos are pristine every time, which is important for me, since I only get paid if my work can be verified. I love that whenever im traveling for work, my Samsung AI helps me find what song to play or the correct gas station im looking for just by asking. Setting timers for baking is a lot easier with my phone as well. I upgraded from a Moto E stylus earlier this year, and I love it.

The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G is a brilliant entry-level device that feels like it offers much more than expected in this price range. Everyday performance is smooth, the vibrant AMOLED display makes watching videos enjoyable, and the charging announcement is one of those small but special features that really stand out.

Love this phone,once set up, easy to use. Previously had an A80 so familiar with Samsung and despite my grandchildren urging me to go down the iPhone route I resisted and am glad I did. Long battery life , clear display, and easy to use camera, I am quite enjoying finding out what it can do. The phone for the price, in my opinion cannot be faulted on performance. I am not a technophobe so did not want to spend a fortune on a phone with features I would probably never understand or use. The A26 5G certainly lives up to my expectations and needs and more.
I recommended this product.

The phone is very affordable, and the specs are very good. The photo quality is nice too. I like the fact that there is a macro lens and the detail on the macro lens is very good. I like the storage options with this phone, and to be able to use a micro sd card to expand the storage too which is very nice. But sadly there are a few cons that may have a potential buyer to buy this phone. The cons that I noticed are as follows: the battery life is not what I would like it to be, no headphone jack for wired headphones, and the speaker is weaker compared to the A25's speaker. Besides the cons of this phone. I think the phone is great for daily use and to use for playing games on it too. The Galaxy Ai isn't bad at all for asking questions.

My galaxy is such an upgrade from the older models . I've had the galaxy s3 and s4 and I love this one so much . It has such a sleek and modern design , is easy to use , and Galaxy AI is literally my best friend. I love the finger print feature and the fact that there is no home button as well . There are so many more things to do with this phone and not only that but my Hotspot works exceptionally well because I have another phone that requires a Hotspot and the galaxy A26 hasn't given me a singular issue yet . 10/10 i love everything about it .

This phone has a lot of great features that still hold up against newer models. The battery power, storage, and cameras are all of great quality. I moatly use my phone for things like youtube and aocial media, but it also has a good amout of storage that is useful for my school related files. The camera is also very nice, and has hight quality functions. Aside from that, i also use the device to play video games and the performance is never a problem. I recently upgraded from an A51 and it has been a great improvement at such a reasonable price.

Very disappointed with this phone which lacks basic audio and video features that only became apparent for me after purchase. The absence of stereo support in headphones renders it renders it not fit for purpose. Just about every multi-media application, be it watching movies, listening to music or playing games become a dull experience. There's also disfunction in following embedded media within Facebook such as Reels or YouTube which cannot be resized to full screen or stretched with finger gesture. I have returned the phone for a refund.

For some reason this phone will heat up by itself even when no apps are running and all battery-saving settings are turned up to max. As a result, the battery is depleting much faster than my previous Samsung. As someone who only updates their phone once in a blue moon, i'm pretty gutted. Based on reddit posts online, it looks like this is a pretty common issue - wishing i'd read a bit more before making the purchase. In terms of general features etc, seems good but I don't have a great deal to compare it to given my lack of phone buying.

I bought this phone roughly 3 weeks ago, as a budget phone. And I have nothing but praise for it. The animation are smooth, apps are super responsive and I am utterly in love with the Ai features. I'm really impressed that a budget phone feels like a pro to me. I've had no lag, one ui 7 is almost perfect, the screen size is a dream and and I love how tough it is. I have horrible butter fingers and the fact that it's survived what I've put it through is truly exceptional. I stand on this: This is a budget phone that feels like a pro phone.
I recommended this product.

Phone is ok and features work as expected for what I paid. The 2 most disappointing things I have found with the phone is connectivity, as I often have to restart the phone to get it to connect to a phone network for calls. The second issue is the tap sensitivity. I do my normal tap on the phone and it often it scrolls or jumps to a new page instead of performing the action i wanted. I have kept the phone up to date and have used Samsung Phones for a very long time and am disappointed with the backwards feeling this new phone gives.

This phone is very reliable, I've had it for a long time it still runs smooth, only problem with the device is the lack of storage space, I feel if this phone had more storage it could be even better, other than that everything else about this phone is great, it can run movies and videos and 1080p just fine and can handle most mobile games which I enjoy alot because I play alot of mobile games, the device chargers fast and the battery last all day, even though I've had the phone for a while now the battery still works and I haven't felt like it has decreased in performance. One other complaint though, I wish the camera quality was a bit better but I don't mind because I don't use it that much. Other than that this is a great device, would buy again. 9/10

Galaxy A26 5G: Samsung Galaxy A26 5G – Amazing Value! Absolutely love this phone! The 6.7” Super AMOLED display is bright and smooth, performance is fast and reliable, and the 50MP camera takes crisp photos. The 5,000 mAh battery easily lasts all day, and the durable IP67 design gives peace of mind. Plus, Samsung’s long-term software support is a huge bonus. Perfect mid-range phone for everyday. AND I USE THE BUD PRO 2'S FOR MY MUSIC AND for PRIVACY. Galaxy Bud Pro 2 Excellent Sound Quality: These buds use a custom coaxial 2‑way speaker (woofer + tweeter) for good clarity and punch. 24‑bit Hi‑Fi Audio: They support 24-bit audio over Samsung’s Seamless Codec, which gives a very detailed, rich listening experience (especially with compatible devices).

I really like the phone, it has some amazing features (much better than my last phone) but I wish it was a little more powerful. I use the Galaxy AI all the time, but it never really has the answer that I'm looking for. I mostly just use it for alarm setting and utilities now. On top of this, it seems like the network connectivity is pretty bad. It might be my provider, but I see other people use my same provider and have no issues at all. The storage is pretty good for a lower end phone, so at least it's got that going for it.

I was pleasantly surprised with this model of Samsung phone. The battery life is good, it has plenty of storage for me, and my favorite part of it is Gemini, the Samsung Galaxy AI assistant. He remembers everything you ask him. He can alter pictures or tell you ideas for a romantic date. The camera is also a good feature on this phone that I found that I liked. The phone overall is easy to use and the only thing that I didn't like about it is the lack of case choices for it. I would recommend this phone to any Samsung lover!

I upgraded my phone from my galaxy A14 g5 to the galaxy A26 5g and it is so much smoother than the A14 I was using. I was able to put in my 2 tb SD card as well making sure I have plenty of room for any pictures, videos and games that I can switch over to a plus. I haven't been much with Samsung AI yet but I'll be definitely checking out what all it can and can't do. I have tried a few other AI apps but I don't know what to think about them other than they seem to be genuinely the next best thing for a phone and people.

The phone us great. AI is cool and have been researching a lot different things. The game garghics are super too. High definition and comfort to eye. The voice to text and great too. I can read and play voice mail with out answering the phone or calling voice mail. The internet service are very quick and are integrated through phone system. Phone detect thing like appointments and asks if you need a reminder set in the calendar. Making my life more organized and user friendly. I enjoy my new phone the Samsung 25 s with AI. But that not all because I still learning more features everyday. Like filter on videos and pictures for my social media accounts. With crystal clear camera on this device make it easier snap shot for depositing check in my bank account.

I use my Galaxy A26 as my daily driver. It's got enough memory and storage to do all the heavy lifting I expect from a phone-- mostly I use it for programming on Termux, and sometimes for games. I do use the Galaxy AI Select (silar to Pixel's circle to search), and that is great for moving things around and using OCR without having to do full screenshots. I'm particularly happy that it across a microsd card, which a lot of premium phones don't do anymore. Also no trouble at all with Bluetooth to my watch and earbuds. As for speed, the 5G UW service sometimes goes up to 20 MB per second when I'm in the city. But even when I'm in regular 5G service areas is never slower than 1 MB/sec. And I get the latest version of Android and OneUI with several years of updates.

The Samsung A26 has been a great everyday phone, especially with Galaxy AI, which I actually use for things like photo edits and quick text help. It makes the phone feel smarter and more efficient. I use it a lot for streaming—Netflix, YouTube, and more—and it runs everything smoothly with a nice, clear display. No lag, no issues. It’s also improved my daily routine since everything just works without interruptions. Good battery life and reliable performance make it easy to stay consistent throughout the day.

I obtained my model in October 2025, after my a34 5g broke. The fingerprint sensor on the side took some getting used to and I still prefer the one on the a34. The fact that Samsung removed AOD from the A26 even though it was on the A25 is an annoying issue. Performance has been pretty good, expect when the battery dips below 30%. The front camera isn't that good. Love the display and the new design is amazing. I've noticed quite a few scuff marks on the side on the body, the screen and back is still fine.

I don't love this device at all, there are far too many "Options" . It is a phone made for someone who is very technical minded, even the instructions are complex. I just need a phone that accepts calls, sends calls, sends and receives texts, take the occasional photo. This phone is very complex and far too many apps already included on purchase. Not the best purchase I have made. And I am not a film enthusiast, but your options are limited to those that sit in front of a screen for their pass times.

The Samsung Galaxy A26 is a surprisingly solid phone for its price range. It offers a clean design, smooth performance for everyday use, and a reliable battery that can easily last through the day. The display is bright and clear, making streaming and browsing enjoyable. One of the standout features is the built-in AI support, which helps optimize photos, manage battery life, and even suggest smart shortcuts for daily tasks. The AI camera enhancement is especially impressive for a budget device, making pictures look sharper and more vibrant without much effort. While it may not compete with flagship phones in terms of raw power or advanced camera lenses, the A26 delivers excellent value for money and makes smart use of AI to give users a more premium experience at an affordable price.

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A26 as my work phone, and it’s been a great fit for both work chats and streaming. The bright display makes watching shows and YouTube videos super enjoyable—it’s smooth, colorful, and easy on the eyes during long sessions. For work, I rely on it daily to check emails, join video calls, take notes, and manage documents while on the move. The Galaxy AI features have been a surprise bonus as it summarizes notes, organises my schedule, and even helps me with smarter text replies during busy workdays. It’s fast, dependable, and has enough power to handle multitasking without slowing me down. I also love the expandable storage since I juggle a lot of files and media. All in all, it’s a smart, affordable phone that’s helping me stay entertained and productive.

It is a beautiful innovation. And the performance is amazing , it's very affordable yet classy and Not forgetting that I already dropped it a few times but not a single crack the screen is strong enough. It's dust and water resistant in case you're irresponsible like me. This is a good upgrade I definitely recommend 👌

I mostly use my phone for social networking. I never have issues with my messaging app, phone app, or with using any of my social media apps! I love that Samsung notes is always front and center and I can type up a note and it automatically saves it. I use Samsung AI more than Google for all my curiosities and to get more personalized answers. I'll keep using this phone until it won't go anymore... all Samsung devices are known to, and have for me, lasted so long without declining performance.

Second time I've had a Samsung, first one was an A13 which was very good. This A26 is even better, in my opinion very good value for money. It does everything I want it to, and is also robust, I've dropped it a couple of times with no adverse effects. Love the camera, in particular the slo-mo. Battery seems to last a long time and recharges quite quickly. Display is better than the A13. Had android auto on all the time while in France, and the connectivity was very quick. All in all, love it.

This phone works amazing for the low price it is, works better than some flagships from other companies. It has a nice, large amount of storage and decent RAM. Best thing, however, is the processor. Only problem I've had with it is occasional connectivity issues but I believe it was due to accidental settings changes. Sadly, my phone doesn't do some of the Galaxy AI features that the others do, but I've seen them in use and used them on colleagues' devices and it's pretty good for what it is.

I’ve been using my new Samsung Galaxy A Series for a couple of weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. From the sleek design to the vibrant display, it feels like a premium phone at a much more accessible price. The camera is sharp and perfect for everyday photos, especially in good lighting. Battery life is solid—I can easily get through a full day with plenty of use, and it charges quickly too. The interface is smooth and user-friendly, and I love the customization options that One UI offers. It’s clear that Samsung has packed a lot of thoughtful features into this phone. It feels reliable, fast, and built to last. Definitely exceeded my expectations for a mid-range device. Overall, it’s been a great experience—easy setup, great performance, and fantastic value. Highly recommended!

I love the sleek design, smooth performance, and reliable 5G connectivity. The display is crisp, and the battery life easily lasts me through the day with regular use. The only downside for me has been the storage. While it’s fine for basic use, I quickly ran out of space with my apps, photos, and files. I wish there was a higher storage variant available, or more internal space by default. Aside from that, I absolutely recommend this phone to anyone looking for a solid mid-range device. It offers great value for the price and feels premium in everyday use. I also had a little fun with getting into the whole Galaxy AI thing.

This device has blown my mind. The build is much higher quality than last year's A25. The glass back is stunning in the very classy looking dark black. The other reviewers are correct about the side biometrics being much more favorable and quicker than the under the screen type. The screen is bright and vibrant and the Exynos 1380 is snappy. I even find the cameras to be pretty darn good. At this price range the phone feels like it's worth double the price. I'm thrilled to have purchased it.

I wish.\n That I could go, we could go back to the original AI that the Samsung had, that's the only issues that I see. Having changed the AI system for Samsung. Sometimes it don't hear you and you can't just ask it to search for something because sometimes you don't hear you and either that, or it'll look up something else. I don't really play games on my phone. I just use it for business calls and sometimes Surfing the internet and using it for Facebook and Instagram and that's about it.

Phone worked great in the beginning however over time it started having issues. I am a small business owner and the NFC will not work properly. I am lucky if it will at all. Most days I have to manually type in my clients information which causes a hight swipe rate on my end, so I'm losing money daily. The picture quality is pretty good. The " Galaxy AI" is pretty cool. The voice to text is awful. Constantly inputs the wrong words and I have to go back and edit pretty much every message.

Hello there, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy A26 5G. It's wonderful to hear that you are enjoying the camera quality and the Galaxy AI features. The performance of tools like NFC and voice-to-text can vary based on setup and usage, and your feedback emphasizes the importance of these features for daily business operations. NFC enables quick connections with other wireless devices and facilitates data transfer. If you are experiencing difficulties with your device's NFC functionality, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue. It's important to note that NFC and contactless payment features may not be supported on certain Galaxy phones and tablets, particularly older models, Wi-Fi-only tablet models, or the Galaxy A and J series, due to hardware limitations or software restrictions. You can use NFC technology with Samsung Pay. Make sure to enable this feature to enjoy the convenience and security of making payments with your device. Additionally, consider removing any third-party covers or cases. Some covers, especially magnetic ones that contain credit cards and IDs, can interfere with the NFC antenna. It is recommended to take off these covers when using NFC functions. Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate you being a Samsung customer!

I have been using the Galaxy A26 for a mix of school, daily work tasks, and streaming entertainment, and it has easily met all my expectations. The One UI operating system is incredibly smooth, intuitive, and handles multitasking between apps without any lag. The inclusion of Galaxy AI features on this device is a massive plus. Tools like Circle to Search make looking up information or identifying songs incredibly seamless while browsing, and the AI Object Eraser in the camera app is perfect for quickly cleaning up photos. The 120Hz Super AMOLED display is sharp and vivid, making it great for streaming videos or watching movies after a long day. Battery life is another major highlight. The large capacity easily gets me through a full day of heavy mixed use without needing to hunt for a charger.

First few days i nearly sent it back battery kept getting hot and ran down after a few hours so I looked at forums and it said that when first switched on it was doing things in the background like sorting out files settings and arranging it all so it connects to everything. After a few days everything calmed down didn't get hot when charging and I started to work out how to use the camera and looked at the way everything was displayed it took a bit of getting used to but all going great

We are thrilled to see you are loving your A26 now! With new devices, it can take a few days for your phone to understand your usage and get everything set up properly, and can cause the battery to drain quicker and heat up slightly, however, this will calm down as you have mentioned! The striking 6.7” Super AMOLED display will bring your pics taken on the 50MP camera to life! ^LB at Samsung Support

I bought the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G last month, and I’m honestly impressed. It’s incredibly easy to handle and navigate, even for someone switching from an older Samsung device. Thanks to the new embed system, transferring all my data and files was effortless. The phone feels great in the hand — lightweight and comfortable. The One UI 7 update really elevates the user experience, making it feel like a premium device at a budget-friendly price. The camera quality is excellent, and the overall system performance is smooth and responsive. What truly stands out are the AI features — they enhance everyday use and make the phone feel futuristic. For a base model, this phone delivers way more than expected. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great performance, modern features, and excellent value.

My Galaxy A26 is the first new phone phone I've bought in a few years and I'm not disappointed. It runs so smoothly and handles everything I need to do, day to day. The battery runs great and if I have a busy day, it charges so fast with with my power bank. I never have a problem connecting to wifi when its available. Galaxy AI is a game changer! I use it everyday for multiple reasons. I'll be starting classes soon with an AI tutor and I know Galaxy AI will support me along the way.

The samsung A26 has unmatched quality for it's price, it's easily to operate and exceptionally senior friendly. Galaxy ai has become my grandfathers best friend in terms of finding whatever he needs to and executing certain things. For price point value, this is the best phone you can buy! The camera quality is perfect for casual use. If you are a gamer it can handle that too with a 120 hz refresh rate it can run most games at 60+ fps. A great buy for anyone seeking a budget option!

Galaxy AI is my favorite feature! I use Google search for everything, I love that the Galaxy AI answer/solution appears promptly and at the top with each and every search I make. Nine times out of 10 I do not need to search the remaining answers from other sites/blogs as the AI response is all I need! My phone is my home, office, travel, schedule, honestly besides my children and family, it is my everything! There are still so many features of this new phone that I have yet to explore!

I got it for my wife. Great phone. better than the A36 I bought because the side fingerprint scanner is so much more responsive and works on the first try. I think the Exynos 1380 is actually better than the Snapdragon 6 gen 3. I would have bought instead of the A36 but i HATE black phones. Boring. My wife is not thrilled with the color and is considering the A16 in silver, but I warned her about never using a phone with 4GB RAM. Come on Sammy, where is the mint international color?

I bought my phone this year June. And my experience with it is proper, because it makes my life easy especially Gemini love that feature. Followed by Samsung SOS incase of emergency you just press the app and help will definitely be on your way. Samsung has improved a lot and I'm glad, I don't have to carry my bank card around now because we have Samsung wallet. A26 is good phone with proper performance and I think it sold for less it deserves to be sold high for its excellence 👏

First of all, I have Signia hearing aids. Unlike other galaxy models, this one doesn't have full functionality like my previous pixel 6a. When I make a cellphone call, the microphone doesn't work. Other functions work. I'd like to see an update that addresses this. Battery life is disappointing. Icons move from where I put them. When switching on, I have to play hunt the icon. Camera is fine. Screen size is good for me. My first Samsung phone and sadly likely to be my last

I got the Samsung A26 only 3 days ago and I am seriously impressed with the overall capabilities of the phone. I had a premium device of another brand before this and after it was stolen I decided to not spend as much on a device as in the past. Thus after checking all my options and comparing all different options I decided on the Samsung A26. At first I had my doubts if the device would uphold to my standards as I had used almost only premium devices in the past. Now that I have it and have been using it almost non stop I am truly happy with the purchase that I made. The device has speed and more than enough processing capabilities. It has seriously impressed me and then comparing that to the price, I would recommend this device to anyone looking into the more budget friendly side of buying a new device.

Don't like it ! My previous mobile which I have had for 16yrs, was aJCB light small and simple. Now 3G is finishing I had to change. The Samsung 26 won't fit in my pockets, too large and heavy ! Does so many things that I do not want and have no interest in, but above all it was supplied with no instructios at all, lots of pretty symbols on the display but what they are for and what they do are a mystery.Unable to use it !! I am 82yrs old and simply wish to make phone calls !

I use my phone more like a TV. Im always watching shows and movies or playong games. Its never laggy never buffers and seems to never run out of room. Ive always had samsung products and they have a tendency to over heat or to break when dropped but thats never been a problem with this one. If for whatever reason something happened to this phone I wouldn't want the newer one id want this one back. The only negative I have is the camera but that may be operational error lol.

My experience using the Galaxy A26 5G is amazing. The display reaction time is quick, fast and does not lag or glitch. It has a great speaker quality and seems to be very durable. The cameras are very clear and take beautiful pictures. The battery life lasts a long time as I take public transport and usually use the phone during this time and I don't need to charge the phone for 2-3 days. The 5G mobile data connectivity works seemingly well and works great without wifi.

My Galaxy A series has never let me down. The battery life is strong so I know I dont have to camp by an outlet. The pictures are perfect so I dont need to carry extra cameras everywhere. Best part I've dropped mine countless times & not one scratch or dent. Life can be clumsy & messy, I needed a phone that can handle me & my Galaxy does that. She's my partner in crime & I'm not sure I will ever trust another brand. Why try something new when you already have the best?

It's a reasonable phone, but I didn't realise that it doesn't have e-sim capability until after I bought it as there is no information specifically on the Samsung site. On the internet it seemed to indicate that it did which is why I bought it. I couldn't have imaged that it wouldn't have an e-sim when our 5 year old Oppo did have! We were expecting an upgrade but got a downgrade. Now we need to go back to the Oppo to get access to an e-sim for travel.

Never freezes or lags and keeps up with the gaming output Also love the new Ai photo suggestions and the Samsung accessories that comes with it!
