I've had a Samsung galaxy phone in various different designations for over 15 years. They're durable with a good camera and a clear display. Battery life is fantastic with great performance and I know the operating system and how to configure my phone exactly as I like it very quickly now. Very happy with Samsung phones.

Wow, what can I say, this is without doubt the best mobile phone that I have ever owned. I have always been a staunch iPhone supporter but after much badgering by my boyfriend and a fair bit of my own research, I took the plunge and I can honestly say I wish I had gone Team Samsung years ago. The performance, display, battery life and ease of use is incredible and I can't recommend my phone highly enough. Bin your iphone and go Team Samsung 😊

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

After coming from an iPhone 5 years ago it did take me a while to get used to the android system, but I loved my Galaxy note 20 so much that I have just bought a new Galaxy A26, the ease at which you can transfer everything from your old phone to your new one is incredible.

Bought to replace my (unusually) broken A33. Always tend to purchase Samsung phones, so this new one came with no difficulties in operating and setting up whatsoever. Haven't used the camera much as yet but have found the display and performance exactly as expected. Connectivity is excellent and the battery appears to be more than sufficient for my normal daily usage.

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.

Hi, Yesido1. Sorry to hear your A26 5G hasn't been charging fully. It sounds like you may have Battery Protection enabled, a setting that limits the amount of charge your phone gets in an effort to protect the battery. You can disable this in Settings > Battery > Battery protection > Turn the switch to the off position. If the issue persists once this feature is disabled, please reach out to our Support Teams. You can find their contact details and operating hours here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/

I've only had the S26 a few days but I'm really pleased with it. My faithful old S510e got broken (oops) so the S26 had big shoes to fill. For an affordable phone, the performance is excellent. My only complaint is the size but, I was aware of that when buying it so, it still gets 5 stars. Why are phones so big now!?

I haven’t had the phone for long so only used for texting and calls, which I’m happy with, it was easy to transfer all my data from my old phone, which was also a Samsung. I’m looking forward to getting to know what else this phone can do.

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.

Very happy with this phone, performance is excellent compared to my last phone. The battery life is great, camera takes decent photos. The display is also alot better than my last samsung. The main reason I wanted it though was for more memory to store my photos/videos and this one really does that! Got it for a reasonable price too, in the sale. Would deffo recommend 👌 10/10 for me! 🤩
