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.

The samsung A26 .. is an Amazing with great touch screen facility , micro sd slot availability, sim card space, and multiple of hard options . It has a faster processor also to deal with social networking, and surfing , overall a very durable reliable mobile .. even though it's a 5g mobile it will still on a 4g sim / or contract .. The 12mp can be changed to 50mp. The 50mp image cant be uploaded to the Argoes website unfortunately, it gives Amazing definition... especially when taken at night 🌙 time .. you can only edit the 50mp with photosoftware I currently use 4G .. doubt i use 5G due to uk coverage .. Always review specs listing's I say , when getting mobiles ..

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.

Impressive Budget-Friendly Smartphone – Samsung Galaxy A26 I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A26 for a few weeks now, and I must say I’m genuinely impressed. For a phone in this price range, it delivers way more than expected. The display is bright and vibrant with great clarity, making everything from videos to social media a pleasure to view.

Forced into buying a new handset having lost my previous one, this Samsung A26 has proved a worthy addition and delivers on battery life, clear reception, and display, but rather amusingly it is desperate to protect my eyesight by turning down the screen resolution every so often..... okay I get the message! How do you measure performance? Not really sure, but I can say no websites have hung, videos play well, and when I want to have saved images to the right place - always nice. Have some events this week including annual conference and the camera will get a run for its money. Is this where the Intelligence of AI comes into play? We shall see.

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.

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.

Camera is good. Photos nice and clear and the image eraser tool is brilliant, can get rid of all the annoying people in my photos now. Battery life is no better than my old phone, but I do not have ut on the saver setting. Display is good and clear. Connectivity is much better than previous phone, where I live it is poor area gor signal but does not seem to be a problem and I am getting messages and calls coming through. Overall I am happy with the performance of my new phone. Also live the colour of minty green

Here’s something clean, upbeat, and buyer-friendly: --- I’m really pleased with my new Samsung A26. The phone feels smooth and responsive, and the display is bright enough for videos and daily use. The battery life stands out — it easily lasts through a full day without stress. Camera quality is solid for the price and handles everyday photos well. Setup was quick, and everything has been running without issues. For the cost, it delivers great value. Happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it.

Having worked in the mobile industry for 25 years, based on the reviews above there is clearly a problem with this device and the battery overheating. I really think instead of the probably AI generated answers you are giving on your review section, you should be looking after your valued customers and telling them you are aware of the issue and will sort it out for them. Overheating batteries are a health ans safety issue right?

Bought for 81 year old mum, she’s a Samsung fan. She said it’s a good replacement for her A21s. Enough for what she needs, photos, browsing, shopping, video calls and texts. Screen size great although it does sometimes go black mid what’s app call, could need a setting adjustment. Battery life ok so far but she’s not a very heavy phone user but dies video call a lot. She’s really pleased with it. I think it’s good value for the price tbh and screen large and clear. Transferring data from one phone to other was easy using an app. Get a bit of echo during video call but this could be a WiFi issue maybe? Overall great.

The galaxy a26 is an excellent phone the speed of pages loading is awesome 👌 the battery lasts just one day if used moderately which is a bit of a let down but not restrictive under normal usage. The screen is bright and comfortable on the eyes. The camera takes very good photographs and connectivity is seamless. Overall, I am extremely happy with the phone, I did have a problem with texts not showing visual notifications or audio notifications but I called Samsung customer service and they resolved the issue within an hour (which was great as after an hour charges set in!) Yeah, a very good upgrade!!!

Stunning colour iced mint? Great features including a very easy way to screenshot images. Shame that I had to purchase a charger and earphones separately. It would have been better if they had been included in the package. Also, it would be great if website ad blockers were installed automatically in stead of buying separately. The phone gets quite hot at times particularly when charging not good.

Thank you for taking your time to review your A26, Vinae! From the striking 6.7” Super AMOLED display to the incredible colours available, we know you'll be wowing everyone you meet! After a survey that showed that our customers were reusing their chargers, to help us reduce e-waste, charger plugs were removed from our box. Along with the higher demand for wireless earphones, to help us focus all of our attention to give you the best phone, the earphone jack and earphones were removed from the box. You can still purchase USB Type C earphones from our website here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/mobile-accessories/samsung-type-c-earphones-black-eo-ic100bbegeu/ Your phone can heat up more than normal if you are using high-powered apps such as gaming apps. This is normal behaviour, however, here is a link to help you reduce this: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-to-do-when-your-phone-heats-up/ ^LB at Samsung Support

Purchased for my wife who switched from IOS. She loves the screen (I didn't know it was 120Mhz) and the fact that the storage is double what she had before. Also installed a memory card, she won't have to worry about storage for a long time. She loves the cameras and the size of the phone is a plus for her. I am also impressed with the phone. I highly recommend, great value.

Bought a new phone because storage was running out on my A21s and A26 has much more, although 17GB are taken up with the system. Also thought this was dual SIM plus SD card, like the A21s, but it's not. It's either 2 SIMS or 1 SIM, one SD card. Seems a backward step. Also the sound is tinny. I am concerned re the battery life, I haven't streamed anything yet, but battery is only lasting about a day. It's currently on 65% and says it will last 1 day 4 hours, but I know it wont. When I got my aA21s in 2020 the battery lasted about 3 days, and it still lasts about 20 hours even though it's 5 years old. I feel the A26 battery will be practically dead in a year, I'm not convinced by it and seems I'm not the only one. I was very happy with the A21s, only reason for changing it was lack of storage, but I suppose you want us to keep changing upgrading its good business, but if the battery fails too soon I won't be buying Samsung again.

I bought the A26 brand new as an upgrade from my Galaxy S10 5G and overall I'm quite happy with its performance, camera and especially its solid battery life. The UI and OS are really solid, the OneUI 7 is a definite upgrade over my S10's OneUI 4 and the general performance is really good. Multi-tasking is smooth and I notice very little lag if any at all. The display is nice and vibrant and gets bright enough, though it can be hard to see in bright sunlight (but this is an issue for all phones really) and I like to use it to preview my photos I take during my photography jobs, the AMOLED panel on the phone is quite good. The connectivity and Wi-Fi range is pretty good, it doesn't have Wi-Fi 6 but Wi-Fi 5 is more than good enough and most networks won't even reach its maximum limit anyway. I don't use the 5G capability, mostly because I don't really see a need for it and I like to preserve my battery life as it does affect the battery by having it on. Battery life overall is pretty great actually, I could probably go two days from full to zero charge with light usage throughout the day and it charges about as fast I would expect, but I'm not using a high power fast charger to charge it so your own mileage may vary. The camera is pretty solid, I'm a photographer and I do it professionally and while it isn't a DSLR/Mirrorless it's still more than good enough and I've gotten some nice pictures from it, but I find generally the base camera setting is a bit too overexposed for my liking so I have it permanently on -0.3 exposure which is just about right. The colour reproduction in images is fairly solid but my biggest gripes with the camera are that the colour saturation generally leans towards under-saturated and pictures taken indoors generally have a bit of visual noise to them, but it's usually not so bad it ruins the photo and is more than good enough for the price. The issue of saturation can easily be fixed in the in-built editor so it's a non-issue really. The portrait mode on the camera takes excellent portraits of people but struggles on portraits of objects barring some very common objects, I presume this is because unlike my old S10 it does not have a true ToF/depth sensor and as an extension of this it does not have a portrait video mode like my old S10, but given generally you'll only take photo portraits of people this is fine. The video is generally fine, the video stabilisation is pretty good on the default video setting and the actual video quality is more than acceptable for the price, it can do 4K@30 video but I personally don't notice too much of a difference so I use 1080@30 to save space personally. Most of the issues I have with the phone are a by-product of downgrading from a formerly flagship S-series, mainly in that the A26 does not have stereo speakers, wireless charging, reverse wireless charging or a ToF/depth sensor and particularly one thing that annoys me is the removal of the headphone jack which I believe is still on the A16, the one directly below the A26, and I kind of miss the dedicated Bixby button I had on my old S10 but that might just be nostalgia. Overall, I'm quite happy with the phone and I do consider myself a tech enthusiast on top of being a photographer and overall I'm quite happy with the performance, display, camera and general look and feel of the phone.

Thank you for sharing your detailed and insightful review of the Galaxy A26! We’re thrilled to see that you’re enjoying its solid performance, vibrant AMOLED display, and impressive battery life, especially when using it for your photography work. It’s great to know that One UI 7 has been a noticeable upgrade and that multi-tasking is smooth with minimal lag. Your feedback on camera tuning and colour saturation is valuable, and we appreciate your professional insights into image quality. While the portrait mode excels at capturing people, we recognize the importance of depth sensors for object photography, and we’ll continue refining our camera technology. We understand that coming from a flagship S-series device means certain features are missed, and we appreciate your thoughts on wireless charging, stereo speakers, and the headphone jack. Our goal is always to strike the right balance between functionality and affordability, and your feedback helps shape future innovations. It’s fantastic to see that the Galaxy A26 has met your expectations overall, and we’re so glad it’s serving your needs well as both a tech enthusiast and photographer. Thank you so much for the five stars! ^CH at Samsung Support

Not 100% impressed with this phone and definitely not as good as my last Samsung. It is slow to connect at times has a mind of its own. Don’t like the AI. The battery life is a plus and the camera and display are ok. Too many apps applied. Samsung can’t you just make a simple phone for making calls taking pictures texts and what’s app and for using the internet. Not everyone needs all the gizmos provided.

I was able to transfer everything from my previous samsung within a few mins to my current phone inc the thousand or so pics i had on it. I chose samsung for reliability, and overall performance. Photos are sharp clear & colourful. Also I wanted to add an sd card to expand the memory. Battery life average. Surfing doesnt use much of its charge but making call does. Im pleased with it does what i need it to do.

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.

I got this phone for elderly friend as theirs had become riddled with applications of unknown origin. Their stress levels seemed to have reduced and are no longer hitting the screen! It's a nice looking phone, and the interface is different from their old one so they are getting used to the differences. Sound quality is alright, not harsh on the ears. For the price it covered what they need it for and extra, just hope it is functional to 2030/2031 as stated by Samsung. Hopefully better secured too, but we know that most problems are with the "User"! Only gripe is the rear camera sticks out of the main body slightly, so a case is needed to keep the phone flat on a table other wise screen facing down on the table.

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.

had to change my old Samsung phone as was only 3G..which I'd had for years & still worked perfectly ...but had been informed by network supplier that the 3G signal is being switched off in my area...(no doubt the more phone savey people will tell me I didn't need too) however consequently needed to upgrade my phone to 4 or 5G which I have done and updated to the Samsung A26...which seems to be a reasonably priced & an easy to use mobile ...however I'm probably the type of customer who is not a slave to a mobile & probably only use a small fraction of the available technology...having said that ...A26 works perfectly and had not issues transferring the store data from my previous Samsung to the new A26....however my network supplier didn't want my old Samsung...surely this perfectly functional old phone will be of some use...too good to just throw away!

As usual with Samsung , a lot of thier Apps pre loaded that present themselves first for use, eg Samsung Notes, Pass, Health, the awful annoying Bixby, Galaxy AI, One UI skin for exmple, all need a Samsung accont and in total take away 21.7 Gb of memory.. Coming from a near stock Android, ,on a Motorola phone, that served me well for 6 years, I found the Samsung initially a challenge, thier One UI got in the way and Bixby intrusive. On the positive side, the 6 years OS & security updates is reassuring (and only reason I changed my Motorola!).

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.

First I must correct you, I don't have an A26 5g i have a A56 5g and yes I like it very much, far superior in every way to my old phone, screen is very sharp, the cameras are excellent, just negotiating around all the features , it's so quick and easy to use, and I'm amazed at how long the battery lasts compared to my old phone , I cannot fault my Samsung A56 5g it's brilliant.

It just feels the same as my previous phone. It would be nice to have more features. The setting up wasn't easy either transferring I had to do in sections it kept saying not enough storage on old phone. I'd happily have sim only and because I'm.locked in again 3 years instead of 2 next time it will be sim only for me I wish I did that this time as features are no different.

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 bought this to replace a Samsung Galaxy phone I'd had for about four years which had developed a fault with its mic. This phone is exactly the same to operate as my old one, which meant I didn't have to spend time getting used to it, but has larger RAM and storage - always handy now so many businesses and shops require you to use their apps. The camera has slo-mo and hyper-lapse and when you edit you can use the 'magic eraser' to remove unwanted people/things. As a mid-price phone it does everything I need it to do.

Purchased as Christmas present for my other half to replace older A20 series mobile. This is about the same size but has evolved over time to keep up with ongoing technological improvements (e.g. 5G, faster processor, camera resolution, clarity of display) on the face and in its infrastructure. It took a bit of getting used to finding menus and features but this would a23,526.apply to any change of mobile. The greatest thing of note is that transferring data, phone book, etc is a breeze with Samsung's software. The excellent USB c connectivity and the good battery life remains from the older model so no loss of features in the upgrade that one sometimes finds when replacing existing tech but find the features get lost for the sake of keeping the purchase price the same.

Bought this as a second phone, very pleased with it. I wanted a phone that supports an SD card, as this one does, at a reasonable price. The display quality seems excellent to me and the phone connects to 5G networks no problem. It has reasonable proformance for the basics - such as email and everyday apps. Doubt it would be great for gaming but that's not something I'm interested in. Overall everthing I need. Only thing is it only has one speaker and is quite slow to charge even with a Samsung charger. Has a hybrid SIM tray so you can either use one SIM and one SD card or up to two SIMS with no SD card. There is also no wireless charging. And the refresh rate is fixed at either 60Hz or 120Hz so is not adaptive. I've left mine at 60Hz. At this price very good value.

I bought the A26 hoping it would be a straightforward upgrade from my A40 with a larger screen. Unfortunately, it wasn’t suitable for my needs. The fingerprint sensor often reported “finger prints not recognised,” and I had to re‑register several times in just 10 days. Every time I needed to turn off or restart the phone, the side buttons did not respond, and I had to use Gemini to access the on/off controls. In addition, I could not get reliable email notifications across my accounts — unlike my A40, which handled them consistently. The screen and battery were fine, but overall the phone did not provide the ease and reliability I was used to with the A40. Others may find it meets their requirements, but after 10 days of trying to remedy the issues I decided to return it.

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.

My previous Samsung Galaxy having served me for seven years - and still working well, but slowly down and no longer compatible with latest app updates, I decided reluctantly to indulge in a replacement. I'm entirely satisfied, and am pleased to feel I made both the right decision and right choice in selecting the Galaxy A26. It is a delight to use, has great functionality, and if my previous experience of Samsung mobile phones is anything to go by, should be my friend and companion for many years.

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

I bought the A26 to replace an A12. The A12 was good for my needs at the time of purchase some years ago, however given the progression of technology and my own change in circumstances the A26 far outstrips the A12 in all respects. Price in both cases was not really an issue but value for money was. In this respect the A26 wins hands down. The mobile phone market is constantly on the change and with the expectancy of Samsung support to 2031 the A26 takes a lot of beating in its class.

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

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.

Fantastic camera which is really clear both near and distance. The battery has a long life and it recharges quickly. The display is clear and has a great large screen with many additional features including eye strain rest. It has the option of artificial intelligence in its features. It performs well in all areas, as do most Samsungs, much better than other leading brands and has all the support of available Samsung apps and account features. Easy to use, wifi very strong. Light in the hand and a really stylish colour. The screen design is great and does not look cluttered. Good memory options which can extended with a memory card. Overall an excellent buy. Once you buy Samsung you never change to another brand. Sound is also great even without ear phones. Links to bluetooth quickly and easily so ideal to use hands free.

My oled display looks nice especially at night time, the performance is much better than my previous phone and gets me through the day, the 5G connectivity gives me pretty good mobile speeds, The battery is fine generally considering how I use my phone and the camera is alright for the quality I need. My favourite thing about the phone is it's look, im loving the mint green colour which i see more as blue, and the over phone looks good and fits my personality.

I had a Samsung previously so just wanted to get a new one, as the memory on the last was smaller also wanted a phone with a better picture quality. The display is good, clear and easy to navigate. Photo quality very good, nice clear crisp images. I can store plenty of appa and not worry about enough space on my phone. The battery needs to be charged daily which is not great , I wish the batteries had a longer life span. Over all I'm happy with this phone.

Battery tends to over heat even when I'm not using the phone, ie apps all closed and phone is switched off, drains Battery really quick even charge decreases when charging. I've even tried different cables and charger plugs but still the same issue. Got to a point j put phone in my cool box to cool it down. Also fast charge doesn't charge as its supposed to, takes 3 hours to fully charge to my set limit of 85%. But overall aside from that it's a good phone.

Battery lasts approximately 3 days of course it depends how much the phone is used. I haven't really used the camera but it appears clear. Connectivity it good and efficient. Display is good, obviously a little different from my last phone but you soon get used to it. Performance is efficient. I managed to transfer everything with out assistance and I'm no spring chicken. So I'm very happy with the phone. It's a little larger the my last phone.

The Samsung Galaxy A26 is a good handset, it has lot's of good features, and works well, it has some issues however, it is quite heavy to hold in one hand, you find yourself having to put it down on a table to use it after a while. It does have a cool button on the side that is the power on and doubles as the biometric finger print reader which impressed me. It is quite large screen which I don't think it needs really compared to older models but this is purely personal opinion, consequently takes up more room in your pocket. The camera takes good photos, however the "fun" selfie function crashes quit a lot. The sound quality out of the hand set is auwful but it is only a phone speaker but works great through Bluetooth etc. The Battery last for nearly 2 days after a full charge, with Bluetooth on. The connectivity is great with 5G.

Bought this Samsung for my mum (70yrs young) who has had an iPhone for the past decade or so. Once it was set up for her to use she liked the interface, and has surprisingly got used to it pretty well. She's has noticed the sound quality is better and she can adapt it to larger text - which she likes, especially when she hasn't got her glasses with her. All in all a great purchase for someone who was very reluctant to upgrade to an Android phone.

I have always stayed with Samsung and my latest telephone is the Galaxy A26. I do not have need for an all singing and dancing mobile but this model is perfect for my requirements. It is easy to use, self intuitive and the camera is a clear improvement from my last mobile which was the Galaxy A13. The screen is a nice size, not to big and not too small. Once again, Samsung have produced another low to mid end product which has everything I need.

Having been an Iphone user for many years I only purchased this android phone to find out if the problem I had was the phone or the network. I found this phone heavy, not nice to handle, and seems to have a mind of it's own doing what it wanted to do but not what I wanted it to do. This maybe due to all the AI apps in it. (I hate AI). I now have my Iphone working again so this one will be going up for sale. I will be glad to see the back of it.

We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the size, design, and performance of your Galaxy A26. The A26 features an ultra slim 7.7 mm profile and is designed to be lightweight and comfortable to hold, yet still with a large screen. We appreciate your feedback on the design. For the performance issue and the phone not doing what you wanted, we recommend a soft reset. This will clear any software glitches and completely refresh your phone. Press and hold the Side and Volume Down keys for about 10 seconds, or until your phone reboots. You won't lose any data with the soft reset. You can turn off or heavily restrict the AI features if you prefer a traditional smartphone experience. Just go to Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence. If you continue to experience any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Teams, who are on hand to help. You can find our contact details and opening times here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ We hope this information is helpful. ^EW at Samsung Support

The battery is good, camera is much better than my previous phone, the display is alright apart from the thick bezel at the bottom, the performance is alright. I found the phone must be really sensitive to touches because I wasn't even touching it and it kept moving about, I tried to restart my phone but however many times I pressed the button it wouldn't restart, i think the back camera layout can go back to the way it was on previous models

Thank you for taking the time to share with us this review about your experience with the Galaxy A26. We are glad to read that you are happy with the fantastic features and lasting battery of this device as well as with its powerful cameras. However, we also appreciate that you wished for the bezel at the bottom of the phone as well as the camera layout to be thinner and different, and that you are also finding the display a bit too sensitive to your touch.
