Galaxy S26 | S26+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had it a week but so far I love it. I'm coming from a s10 so it is an obvious improvement. Much faster and smoother. The battery is good, and the camera is excellent. I thought the new AI features would be annoying as it's not something I use but it's not noticeable, it's there if u need it.

Setup was easy as always with samsung. Performance and speed is amazing. The display and camera are top notch. Battery life is sufficent lasts me all day and some never have to worry about running out of charge. So far durability has been great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery lasts a long time and charges quick, the camera also has more stability and detail than older versions that use the same camera, storage lasts well the interface is easy to navigate, the screen itself also has more vibrant colours

I'm using my S26 for a month and I'm very happy with it. The performance is great, the camera gives me beautiful and quality photos. Also the size is perfect for me and the color is cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone 5 days ago and I am so happy . This is much better than s25 which I still using . I love this phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Outstanding Device, purchased as an upgrade to the s23, This phone is very nice indeed. The overall shape has changed slightly since the 23 with the 26 now having squared edges making it easier to hold in one hand and use the keyboard. The screen is very bright and the battery life is amazing. On the whole this is a worthwhile upgrade and would recommend this product to friends and family without hesitation. Havent had much chance to use all the new AI features but im sure at some point I will get to see how this can improve my experience, I think the AI photo editing will be very useful indeed when it comes to getting the perfect picture. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely consider getting another one for my partner

Lần đầu tiên cầm trên tay Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra phải nói là mê từ thiết kế cầm chắc tay, màu vàng gold siêu đẹp và lý do chính để mình chuyển đổi sang S26 Ultra là chế độ Privacy Display Màn hình chống nhìn trộm chủ động thực tế xài rất tốt so với kính cường lực chống nhìn trộm, chế độ có thể tắt mở theo nhu cầu xài và có thể áp dụng cho những app riêng biệt và kể cả thông báo, rất phù hợp khi làm việc ở quán cf nhưng cần sự riêng tư. Bên cạnh đó thì hệ sinh thái Galaxy đầy đủ từ đồng hồ, tivi...tất cả đều được kết nối đồng bộ với nhau, mình có dùng Quick Share để gửi hình và video cho máy Galaxy A của mình thì phải nói tốc độ thực tế cực kỳ nhanh, vừa uống ly cafe quay lại là đã thấy chuyển file hoàn thành. Trải nghiệm ban đầu phải nói là mê và cực kỳ thích.

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S26, and I’m extremely happy with it. The design is sleek and premium, and the display is incredibly bright, sharp, and vibrant. The performance is lightning fast, with apps opening instantly and multitasking running smoothly. The camera takes stunning photos and videos in both daylight and low-light conditions. Battery life easily lasts throughout the day, and the fast charging is very convenient. I also appreciate the smooth user experience with Samsung’s latest software and the useful AI features. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S26 is an excellent smartphone that delivers outstanding performance, a fantastic camera, and a premium feel. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, powerful, and feature-packed flagship phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this phone a week ago and am very pleased with it. I traded in my own phone so got a fair deal. The new phone is night and day better than my old one, although I was upgrading from an S10 (I traded in another phone I had) Better camera, battery life, processor, screen, etc. I particularly like the ai that allows you to describe changes to a photo which it executes ridiculously well. In the pre-order period got the 512gb storage which will last me the life of the phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always had Samsung phones and this one is a fantastic upgrade from my previous model. I love the new Now Brief feature. It tracks my day-to-day and understands my habits better than before. Exercise playlist recommendations and reminders about important events, like booking details and special travel moments, are now all available as bite-sized briefs sent throughout the day I also love the upgrades to Samsung health, it pairs amazingly with my watch and the run coach will have up running 10km in no time. The camera is a huge improvement to my previous model and photos is low light are no longer a problem. Overall i love this phone and think it a great upgrade.

I bought this phone during pre ordering, I have had it for about a week as I am writing this review. I am coming from being a previous user of the Google pixel 7 pro. I was not happy at all with the Google pixel. I prefer the smaller size of this phone. Ample space as i got the 512GB phone. Camera is decent. Overall performance is satisfactory. Overall I love Samsung products and was happy to return to the brand after trying out the Google pixel.

I bought this a week ago and I am so happy that I bought it. I love the colour of the phone and I love how the display is very clear, and how the performance is smooth and how the camera is a very clear. The factsthat the battery does not drain easily and how durable the phone is compared to my old phone which is the Galaxy Samsung s21. Not forgetting to mention the amazing Ai features! I would definitely recommend this phone 😍

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this phone 12 days now. Performance is very good, very quick response time. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting all day. The camera is exceptional, it doesn't seem to have a dedicated macro mode but focuses very well at short distances. Love the new display where you only need to scroll down through all your apps as opposed to previously swiping through pages, display quality itself is excellent

The performance of the Samsung Galaxy S26 is outstanding. The phone delivers a remarkably smooth daily experience. Samsung has achieved an excellent combination by pairing their software optimization with the new Exynos processor. Applications launch instantly, animations feel fluid, and multitasking is completely seamless. It handles heavy workloads and gaming without lagging or overheating. This hardware and software synergy makes the device feel incredibly responsive and reliable. Man the exynos is only made for samsung and samsung fans used s24 also but the smoothness in s26 is also improved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, the size is quite small and it feels very light. To be honest, it took me a little bit of getting used to, but as a lady, I think dainty is what I actually need. Initially, I thought the camera was a little bit too light until I figured out that you could change it to give more warmth to a picture, which I think is very essential with today's technology. So I didn't need to maneuver too much, I just needed to add a little bit of warmth and the picture was more to my liking. Also, I'd like to say the way they've modernized the ringtone, I love it, and it makes me proud, and I enjoy when my phone just rings around people because it sounds chic and i feel important. Lol I like the level to which AI has also been incorporated into the phone. For example, if someone is calling me, I can use AI assist to tell them that I cannot pick up the call at the moment. I believe this adds more personality to the phone, which is lovely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having owned the Samsung S24 previously, this was a nice and much needed upgrade since I desperately needed more storage on my old phone, bonus getting a faster processor and more RAM. Switching between phones has been very easy. The new Galaxy S26 is very similar in size, the screen is a bit bigger but is just as lightweight, the battery life it's better, I can get over a days' use without needing a charge. One minor thing I dislike is that the rear cameras are too protruding causing the phone to wobble when placed on a straight surface but I guess this won't happen with a case. The cameras are great, love the crisp images and videos. Overall, I am happy with my new phone and would recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S26 (512g) is such a fabulous decide, it's easy to use, and the only time taken is figuring out which apps from the old phone will actually transfer to the new one. Not an issue with the Samsung at all, which is beautifully smooth to use and has an amazing camera. The photo quality is brilliant, depth of field with photos is a dream. My only issue so far is I'd heard of Bixby Vision, to translate things from foreign languages when seen through the lens of the camera, can't seem to find it on this phone, no idea if it's meant to be there and is hidden or what. Cheated slightly, downloaded a competitor translate app, which works. Shame I couldn't find that on the Samsung device, it's mentioned as being on there for earlier models. All in all it is a beautiful device, the camera quality is a sure fire winner and great memory to hold all my new pics. Very happy with it, seems secure and steady too, like it'll last which is obviously something I'm keen on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the S26 for 2 weeks now. I previously owned an S20 FE. I upgraded to the S26 which is faster, sharper and smarter. The camera is great! The graphics are clearer, with the colours more vivid and sharper. I love the quality and precision and I have taken some amazing pictures on my phone with it. So far, the battery life is very good and stays for quite long. The phone charges quickly and doesn't feel like it's overheatng. The AI features are good with the editing of pictures and use of the phone. I especially really like how it's got the Gemini feature on the phone for us to use when needed. The amount of storage is superb as I opted for the 512gb version and it has vast storage! Overall, I am so far happy with my S26. I have enjoyed using and discovering the new AI features with Gemini, the clear, sharp camera with vivid colours, the long battery life and the vast storage. I believe the S26 is a fantastic phone for me and all it's features will continue to be a testimony to this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung S26 because I needed to upgrade from my S21. I have been enjoying the new features and the overall experience so far. The phone is fast, easy to use, and has great battery life. I use my S26 for streaming, browsing the internet, taking photos, watching videos, and staying in touch with friends and family. The battery lasts through my day, which is important to me. I also like the new features that were not on my S21. Samsung has made phones I can rely on for a long time, and the S26 feels like a good step up from my S21. The new features, battery life, and performance make it a phone that fits well into my daily routine.

I bought it last week exclusive color i find it very lightweight and the performance is really good too. The display is very bright in the sunligjt and battery last long for a day. The camera i test in the night the picture qualty is crsip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone does it all, battery life is solid, phone feels smooth and fluid, cameras are crystal clear and I never have to worry about filling up the storage and the build of the device feels premium.

I bought samsung s 56 6months ago had the best experience ever ..the performance is great ...the camera very clear . The battery is durable don't have to carry my cable everywhere.

I love this Samsung; its compact size fits perfectly in one hand, and the new design of the rear cameras is beautiful and takes excellent photos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung S26 for five days so far and it’s been great. Everything works smoothly and I have no complaints at the moment. 👍

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this last week really happy with it. Battery life good.ai stuff brilliant sound quality do much better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1 week since i bought it and it's amazing. Lovely color. Great screen quality, upgrade from S23.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this few dais ago and I am very impress of performanteand quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an upgrade to my S25. I prefer light phones and S26 fits this category by being extremely light feel in the hands. After using int for a week + I think it blends innovation with refined daily usability. The display is crisp, making everything from streaming to scrolling feel incredibly immersive. The upgraded camera is slightly better than the S25 which also blends in the use for AI for pictures that you take. The battery comfortably outlasts a full day(at least for now) after a full day of heavy use. Really like the phone and it's sleek design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed an upgrade after having the samsung 21 s-series for many years. It was an amazing phone and so effective but I saw the new samsung 26 I knew it was a time to upgrade. So far it has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. The phone has made it easier to navigate thru social media and using the Ai tool or Gemini makes it easier to create or identify items either on social media or at the store. It also makes me so excited to take pictures and to upload to my social media of food and plants. The quality of the pictures makes it seem like it was taken by a professional! Im thrilled I chose to be part of the samsung family once again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a basic phone user and don’t need anything too complicated. I mainly use my phone for communication, browsing and playing the occasional games. I was looking for a phone that would last the whole day and be responsive and easy to use. The Samsung Galaxy S26 delivers, and I have found it a great choice for my needs. My first impression from the moment I took it out of the box is that it felt slick and light yet has a premium feel. I got the popular Cobalt Violet colour and it is just beautiful! I love how thin the phone is, its rounded edge and flat design. This design also makes it comfortable to hold. The screen brightness is not too bright that it hurts your eye and not dull so still brings everything to life. What I really love about this phone is the performance - apps open quickly, and browsing can be done with ease. Playing games that require high processing speed are clear and run without any frustrating lag. I can get through a whole day more than comfortably with battery life to spare. The phone charges quickly and has wireless charging capabilities. The magnet is strong which makes charging wirelessly more reliable. I’m a terrible photographer, but the camera is dummy proof. I mainly use the camera to take photos of my dog - the pictures come out crisp and clear even the ones where I catch him in action! Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S26 is a high-quality phone that’s reliable, takes incredible photos, and delivers smooth performance for everyday needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For many years, I've trusted the Samsung Galaxy phone. This year, I decided to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S24+ to the S26, and I’m very happy with this choice! Not that there was anything wrong with the S24, which works great, but I wanted the new AI features. After using this new phone for two weeks, I can tell you that the new AI tool on this phone is fantastic. My favourite features are: AI answering calls for you and sending messages explaining why the caller is calling before you answer yourself. My most favourite is the AI photo editing tool, which is easy to use, just write a few words, and the photos will be edited as you want. It’s just great; not perfect, but I believe it will be soon. As for other comparisons between the S24 and S26, the photo quality hasn't changed much but is slightly better, especially with zooming. I also like the display and the improved battery life. Moreover, the Samsung S26 isn't too small. A few years ago, I had an S21 and then upgraded to an S24+ because of the size, which felt too large, but this year’s S26 size is perfect! Not too large, not too small. Moreover, I have been travelling for the last week, and Samsung Galaxy S26 made my trip so much easier, especially when taking great quality photos, and quick AI editing. In conclusion, if you are looking for a new phone with the best AI features, then the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is the way to go. And if you're wondering whether you should upgrade your phone that’s one or two years older, the main upgrade will be the AI features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Galaxy S26 is very light and easy to be held with one hand. This phone delivers exactly what expected, the screen is very fast responsive, all the apps run smooth. My favourite part of the new Samsung Galaxy S26 is the Creative Studio app. I already started using it with my little daughter and we have a lot of fun together watching our creations. Whenever I upgrade my phone, it's usually for a better camera and increased storage, as I take millions of pictures and videos. Samsung Galaxy S26 did not disappoint, it has a much clearer image and the improved night vision is a huge bonus, with brighter pictures in low light, even on selfie mode. The audio eraser is of great help whenever I edit videos. The live effect that transforms pictures in 3D images is great as well. I have also noticed there is an option to keep the personal photos private, so they don't appear in the gallery. I like the Now Brief function, it's like having a personal assistant in the morning briefing you about the day ahead. At the same time, all the AI assist functions: writing, transcription, translating, summarizing, editing and removing/adding things from/to pictures are all like an upgraded assistant that is available 24/7. I will definitely have to try the AI feature that can tell you who's calling and why before answering, especially because of spam callers. I think I will still have to discover new things about the new Samsung Galaxy S26, but so far I am well impressed with its performance and it definitely makes my life easier with all the daily tasks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 for a little while now and the first thing that really stood out to me is just how fast it is. Everything feels instant. Apps open quickly, switching between things is smooth, and it never seems to struggle no matter how many things I have open. I’m pretty sure it’s quicker than my brain some mornings. Another thing I noticed straight away is the weight. It’s actually really nicely balanced — light enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re carrying a brick around, but still solid enough to feel premium. It sits comfortably in your pocket and doesn’t drag your trousers down, which I think we can all agree is an underrated feature. Setting it up was also surprisingly painless thanks to Samsung Smart Switch. Transferring everything from my old phone was super smooth. Photos, apps, contacts — the lot. I was fully up and running in no time, which is a massive relief because nobody enjoys spending hours setting up a new phone. The screen is seriously impressive too. It’s sharp, bright and colourful without looking over the top. Watching videos, scrolling through photos, or even just reading messages looks great. Once you get used to a screen this nice it’s a bit hard to go back. The cameras are fantastic as well. Photos come out clear and detailed with great colours, and it handles different lighting really well. It’s one of those cameras where you can just point, shoot, and trust it’ll look good. It’s also great for gaming. Games run smoothly with no lag, and the screen makes everything look brilliant. Honestly, it’s dangerously good — I’ve definitely lost more time to games than I’d like to admit. Overall, it’s fast, light, easy to set up, and just really enjoyable to use day to day. A very solid upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 is a nice evolutionary upgrade on my previous S22 phone with both hardware and software being improved. Everything is very familiar to use, but things work with less friction and the UI elements are smoother. Although the size is essentially the same, the reduced bezels does increase the screen real estate whilst feeling easy to hold. The fingerprint sensor is well-placed, responsive and more accurate than before. The battery capacity is now 4300 mAh, which lasts a day on moderate usage including Teams calls and some video watching on my 30 minute commute each way. However, any performative (high-frame-rate is smooth and stable) gaming drains it quickly. Wired charging is limited at 25W so recovery is not quick by 2026 standards. The camera bump is wider and results in ill-fitting with my previous Samsung wireless charger. The camera quality is excellent with nicely saturated and vibrant photos produced without much effort although I expected more with HDR and fast motion. The low-light performance is the best I have seen. The AI features are improved with magic eraser, in particular, working very fast and the filled in details better than competitors. (See photo for comparison.) The automated call screen feature is wonderful and shows great accuracy in captioning and transcription of calls. “Now Nudge” is rather hit and miss. It is a good idea in principle to act as shortcut to connect, say, your messages and calendar. However, it is hampered by requiring Samsung apps and also rather precise wording. I can see the next few iterations making usable improvements. In work, I have used the voice transcription: this is vastly better than the transcription quality on my Teams calls and my current go to. Overall, the S26 is a very mature hardware product with usable software. AI benefits are improving with every iteration and I look forward to seeing further evolution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 base model because I wanted a compact phone that didn't compromise on top-tier performance. The 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display is exceptionally bright and smooth, making it perfect for daily video streaming, social media, and gaming on the go. ​I use it heavily throughout my workday for multitasking, quick photo edits, and staying connected with Galaxy AI features. The cameras are sharp and reliable for capturing everyday moments, and the battery easily gets me through my usual routine. The lightweight design combined with the upgraded performance makes it an absolute joy to use every single day!

I've been using this Samsung phone for a few weeks now, and I'm very impressed with the overall experience. The battery life easily lasts all day, even with heavy usage. The camera captures clear and vibrant photos, making it great for everyday photography. The display is bright, sharp, and enjoyable for watching videos and browsing. Performance is fast and responsive, with apps opening smoothly and multitasking working without any issues. The design feels premium, and the build quality gives confidence in its durability. Overall, this device offers excellent value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The easiest part is using the features that Samsung built in. Small enough to fit in and out of your pocket with a bigger phone capability. Learning to use the phone was not hard. You can turn on and off features with ease and there is a robust amount of apps that work very well with this phone. Switching apps from old phone to this phone worked well with the features that I was used to. The phone doesn't do a lot of irritating actions that you don't want it to counting on your input if desired. The sound is good the pictures are good the operation of apps is very good. For any level of user from novice to experts this phone will do what you need. Recommended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve recently upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S24 to the S26, and I have to say, the whole experience has been really impressive so far. First off, switching over was incredibly easy. Everything transferred smoothly, and i was pleased with how my old phone basically mirrored onto the new one. All my apps, settings, and layout came across almost exactly as they were, which made the upgrade feel seamless and surprisingly satisfying. At the same time, a lot of apps and features feel more updated and refined, so it’s like having the same phone but improved. The prompt of signing into apps by just confirming on the old phone made things much easier. The camera quality is one of the first things I noticed. it looks noticeably better to me. Photos seem sharper, more detailed, and overall just more polished. Charging also feels faster than my S24, which has been a really nice improvement in day to day use. One feature I absolutely love is being able to turn photos into stickers instantly. It’s quick, fun, and works really well. The translation feature also seems much more accurate and responsive, which is great for real world use. I’ve also noticed that the phone suggests actions on screen more often. I’m not sure if that’s because it’s new and still learning my habits, but I actually find it really helpful. It makes things feel more intuitive and convenient. Another big win is the storage. Having 256GB instead of 128GB is a huge upgrade and gives me a lot more freedom without worrying about space. There are also a lot more AI features built into the phone, and they genuinely make a difference. Things like smarter photo editing, real time translations, and contextual suggestions make the phone feel more responsive and aware of what I’m doing. It can suggest actions based on what’s on screen, help organise notifications, and even assist across apps, which adds a level of convenience I didn’t realise I’d use so much. Overall, the S26 feels smarter, faster, and more helpful in everyday use. It’s not just a hardware upgrade it really feels like a more intelligent and refined experience. So far, I’m really happy with the upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not my first purchase of a Samsung Galaxy flashlight phone, and it certainly will not be my last. Over the years, I chose Samsung Galaxy devices as my preferred personal technology due to their exceptional efficiency, versatility, and consistent performance in both everyday use and demanding tasks. The device’s camera consistently delivers high-quality results, and its battery life has proven reliable and long-lasting. While I would have preferred the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, its price point was beyond my current budget. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful and remain open to the possibility of acquiring it in the future..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this last Friday and so far I am very pleased, I need to look into the new features to see how to activate and use them, but apart from that I am very pleased. The battery is lasting longer than my S24 which I am pleased about. The camera looks better too even though it's supposed to have the same specs. I loved getting double storage due to pre-ordering. With gorilla glass and screen protector and case it's more durable too. The user interface doesn't seem to have changed much apart from looking smoother.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a great phone overall. The display is bright, sharp, and easy to see even in direct sunlight. The color looks fantastic, and the Galaxy AI features are genuinely useful for everyday tasks. The battery life is average, and I also wish it had UWB support, especially for using the phone as a digital car key. Overall, it's a solid phone with a great display, useful AI features, and an attractive design, with just a couple of areas that could be improved. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S26 is a great phone with an excellent display, useful AI features, and an attractive design. If you can live with average battery life, it's a solid choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Omg! Let me just say I am very impressed with my new AS26! Especially the new AI capabilities that come with it. I think my new favorite feature is the call captions, which transcribe my call into text in real time. It does get some words wrong but I think that is due to the call quality from the other caller. I still have a lot of exploring to do with my phone because I've only had it 2 days now but I just can't believe how much this phone has to offer, it's insane! I also love how the AI can take what is on my screen and add it to my calendar! I mean come on, that saves me so much time.... The privacy screen is awesome too! Good luck topping this one Samsung!!!
