In my opinion, this is the worst mobile phone from Samsung. I bought one a few days ago. I have had battery problems since I bought it. Now, it doesn't last for 1 hour on a 100% charge.

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.

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!

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🔥🔥🔥

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. Battery life is strong, lasting a full day with ease, and I like that Samsung promises long-term updates, which adds peace of mind. Overall, it’s a reliable, feature-packed phone that offers excellent value and a premium feel at an affordable price.

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 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 bought my A26 a month ago and I am so happy I made the perfect choice. It has enough space (128GB) for snaps and videos. The camera is amazing I love the 'Pro' camera settings. 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 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.

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 👏

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.

I bought my device 8 months ago. The device has been so amazing. The amolad display is so good for gaming and watching movies . The battery hold up pretty well and could go a whole day a charge. Performance wise, it can handle most heavy titles. The camera captures crisp photos and videos ,and also a good enough ultra wide lens. I've dropped the phone multiple times yet both rear and front glass haven't shattered. The durability is unshakable

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G and honestly, it’s a solid mid-range phone. The screen is super smooth with its 120Hz AMOLED, the 50MP camera takes great shots in good light, and the battery lasts me the whole day. Charging could’ve been faster, and it’s not really for heavy gaming, but for everyday use it’s reliable. Plus, Samsung promises 6 years of updates, so it feels like a phone built to last.

I have no had any problems with this model since I've started using it and would recommend that if you wish to buy the A26 then you should do it immediately!

I have been using the new A26 5G for about a month now. I have used the Samsung S21 until it was stolen. I can honestly say at the price point the A26 is 100% worth it. The A26 5G in my opinion is about 87% of a Flagship Samsungs phone. The most important things like cameras, performance, functionality etc are all really good, absolutely Amazing Value for your Money tand Totally Worth it 👌.

I honestly love the design, I just wish the A26 had a similar selfie camera design as the A36/A56. But overall, I love the phone. I can't wait to use it at it's maximum potential, since it has so many advanced features. It has so much storage space and it's processing speed is impressive. I am so in love with just the feel of the phone, the rear camera design, the thin-block structure, omg!🥹

It's been 2 months since I bought this device but I think more features that are more the same as the A36 and A56 needed to be added on this device to give it more of a new A-Series phone that everyone wants to buy like the other 2 devices and it needs some more improvement to reach that stage because it was a little disappointing when I got the phone, it was not what I wanted and expected.

The phone that feels good, looks good, lasts all day, takes decent pictures, and won't suddenly become obsolete in a year or two. It's not trying to be a super high-end flagship, but for a solid, reliable, and frankly, pretty awesome everyday phone, it nails it. I got a lot of bang for my buck here.

I bought it a month ago, and it is the most amazing phone, the previous phone I was using was the Samsung Galaxy A32 and I can say this one is better than the A32, the color, the camera, the high speed performance, everything about it is just exquisite.
