This a month I was using Samsung long time ago it es number I was using a Samsung l long time ago maybe 5 years back
I recommended this product.
Too much built in ai features that dont do much for a mainly app user like myself , love the feel of the phone as well as how it handles day to day tasks flawlessly besides heavy gameing but thats a given since this is not a gameing phone , but the screen could of been abit better in terms of resolution, 1080p for a 2026 flagship is kinda dull .
The new model promises a long-lasting battery, ideal for accompanying your busy day to day. His performance has been improved, ensuring agility in all tasks. Durability was a point of attention, offering greater strength for continuous use. The quality of the cameras takes the photographic experience to a new level. This device is an excellent option for those looking for advanced technology and reliability.
I recommended this product.
I’ve been using this phone for about a month now. For sure, the Exynos 2600 shows Samsung has really stepped up their chip game. The battery life is solid, usually sitting at around 45 percent when I get home from work after a full charge. Night photography is a huge improvement. The selfie camera also makes my shots look sharper, even with a screen protector on. I like the smaller size since it’s easier to use one-handed, and the brightness in direct South African sunlight is impressive. I haven't dropped it yet, so I can't say much about durability, but I’m not worried about water at all. My phone goes on plenty of water activities, so I’m 100% sold on its water resistance. It’s great having the peace of mind to use wireless charging when the port is wet.

*Samsung Galaxy S26 Review – 5 Key Topics* 1. Design & Display* The S26 is noticeably thinner and lighter at 7.2mm, 167g, while the S26+ is 7.3mm, 190g. Both use Armor Aluminum frames, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and IP68 water resistance. The new “ambient island” camera design unifies the lenses into one polished module. Displays: S26 = 6.3" Dynamic AMOLED 2X, S26+ = 6.7". Peak brightness jumps to 2600 nits. Samsung’s mDNIe tech improves color processing precision 4x for richer tones, and ProScaler adds AI image detail. *2. Performance & Cooling* Both run a new customized processor. In Europe it’s Exynos 2600, while other regions get Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. You get 12GB RAM standard. Samsung claims 38% faster NPU, 23% better GPU, and 7% faster CPU vs S25+. Big upgrade: a redesigned Vapor Chamber improves thermal performance by 29%, spreading heat more evenly so the CPU/GPU don’t throttle during gaming or streaming. *3. Cameras* S26 & S26+ share hardware: 50MP main f/1.8 with OIS, 10MP 3x telephoto f/2.4, 12MP ultrawide f/2.2. Selfie cam is 12MP f/2.2 with PDAF. The real gains are software: AP-driven image processing brightens low-light shots and cuts noise. New Galaxy AI lets you edit photos with text prompts — type “Make this his birthday party” and it adds decorations. S26 Ultra gets the bigger 200MP main + 50MP 5x periscope upgrades. *4. Battery & Charging* S26: 4300mAh, S26+: 4900mAh. Samsung rates them for up to 30h video on S26 and 31h on S26+. Charging speed split: S26 hits 55% in 30 min, S26+ hits 69% in 30 min. The Ultra supports 60W wired. No built-in magnets for Qi2. *5. Galaxy AI & Software* This is Samsung’s “AI Phone” push. One UI now embeds AI deeper: Galaxy Genie works proactively with real-time summaries, translations, and context suggestions. One UI adapts to habits with predictive multitasking and smarter notification summaries. S26 Durability:* Armor Aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front/back, IP68 water/dust resistance. At 7.2mm thin, it’s tougher than S25 with improved drop protection. No Qi2 magnets. Solid build for daily use, but still use a case.

Rewarded for feedback, but gave an honest & objective review.
I bought this phone 4 months ago and the performance has been amazing so far! Camera is amazing, I love taking pictures of scenery and it captures it perfectly. I also only charge it once every 2 days or so, so the battery is phenomenal for my day to day use. I am a clumsy person and it hasn't gotten any scratches from the short falls it suffers sometimes.
I recommended this product.
I have my phone for a month and I am super impressed with it. The camera is incredibly good. Used them at two concerts now and the videos and photos are so clear. The battery life is extremely good, charge it only once a day but still have battery power the next day if I skip a charge. It's super fast and apps work seamlessly.
I recommended this product.
Surprised how such I love this. Missed compact devices that don't compromise on the important stuff! The camera is awesome. Display is bright. Battery lasts the whole day. And the performance really packs a punch. Durability wise... I'm going to try go caseless for the first time ;)

We’re thrilled to see how much you are enjoying your S25 Ultra, Rajjdeep! It’s great that after deep research, the incredible capabilities of this model blew you away. The sleek design is perfectly complimented by the rich display and the speedy processor, which works in harmony with the battery to give you life all day. The 200 MP main camera lens captures true to life images, which can be edited easily with Galaxy AI. It’s the ideal device for gaming, work, and play - this model really has your back! ^SK at Samsung Support
