Galaxy A26 5G

So many features, this makes it amazing. The device is easy use, well designed 👌, and amazing helpful tips 😀, it makes the usage easier 😀. The film quality is excellent.

Superfast, I use it for my social media sites, insagram, YouTube tiktok, Facebook, not sure about the video editing tools so basic

This is a fast and versatile phone. My old a53 failed after 4 years and this a26 has a better processor than the a53. So its compatible although no stereo speakers which is fine. The screen is also bigger and the 50M pixel camera is sufficient. The a53 had 64M camera resolution which i hardly used. Recommended!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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 👌

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’ve been using my new Samsung Galaxy A Series for a couple of weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. From the sleek design to the vibrant display, it feels like a premium phone at a much more accessible price. The camera is sharp and perfect for everyday photos, especially in good lighting. Battery life is solid—I can easily get through a full day with plenty of use, and it charges quickly too. The interface is smooth and user-friendly, and I love the customization options that One UI offers. It’s clear that Samsung has packed a lot of thoughtful features into this phone. It feels reliable, fast, and built to last. Definitely exceeded my expectations for a mid-range device. Overall, it’s been a great experience—easy setup, great performance, and fantastic value. Highly recommended!

First few days i nearly sent it back battery kept getting hot and ran down after a few hours so I looked at forums and it said that when first switched on it was doing things in the background like sorting out files settings and arranging it all so it connects to everything. 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 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 👏

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

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.

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 !

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.

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.

It's a reasonable phone, but I didn't realise that it doesn't have e-sim capability until after I bought it as there is no information specifically on the Samsung site. On the internet it seemed to indicate that it did which is why I bought it. I couldn't have imaged that it wouldn't have an e-sim when our 5 year old Oppo did have! We were expecting an upgrade but got a downgrade. Now we need to go back to the Oppo to get access to an e-sim for travel.

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.

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.

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

The camera. My old phone had only a 6MP camera and yet it feels like it has better pictures than my now 50MP camera. The reason for this is the de-noisifier on the pictures. My old phones pictures when you zoomed in looked blurry, a bit fuzzy, and a bit pixelated, all completely normal. However when i zoom on the photos i capture with my A-26 it looks fake, almost like its been painted? This leaves me wondering if my A-26 uses some heavy A.I interpolation on my pictures. And even worse it doesnt seem like i can change this. Ive heard taking photos in pro mode works but it doesnt. There is no setting ive found to change it. When 6MP pictures look better than 50MP pictures. It has me worried that ive chosen the wrong phone to switch to. I have many more issues but this camera one is the most important and the issue i feel most betrayed about.

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

Some great features on the phone camera, great works well no issues battery has been holding out well. Volume speaker distorts sort sound when working at full level. The biggest issue is phone can be very sluggish at times. When you have been browsing different apps, seems to use up RAM fairly fast so need yo keep clearing apps which can be quite annoying at times when you are trying to get things done in good time. Otherwise all good.

It is a really nice phone, one issue, occasionally when I try to get into my phone, the keyboard doesn't work!! So I have to "emergency call" then come out, switch my screen off and on again, just fiddle about with it. It is annoying at the moment, am worried it stops working altogether!!! Any idea's what to do? PS, this survey is annoying as well, in the "which describes you" part, how about a "needs a phone that works" description??

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!

All in all the best phone on the market for people with a medium range budget. The battery is very good. The screen is high definition. The performance is brilliant, with the 8 gbs of ram its perfect for anything high or low intensive you might need. The camera is a different story. It works well in bright well lit conditions but not so well in the dark. The video recording could also be a bit smoother The connectivity is normal

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?

I bought this a few weeks ago, and so far I really like it. The message system is a little different from the A21S (previous phone), but seems to work well. Phone is considerably faster than my old one too. It's feature rich, battery life is good. My only cons with this is the need for an adapter for earbuds (wired), as I don't use bluetooth ones, and supplying your own charger. But other than that, it's really good.

Apparently different geographical locations have different similar types for this phone - either esim or physical sim. This makes purchasing the phone a little more complex and for me personally...I was disappointed to find that esim wasn't provided for the Australian version. This was despite me researching the phone extensively as I hadn't accounted for this geographical variance as it was mentioned nowhere.

I've always been a Samsung user but after my Galaxy S22 Ultra started playing up following an update I needed to get a cheap phone to tide me over, I have to say I've been very impressed with A26 naturally the overall performance isn't as good as my old handset but I've been impressed with the battery the overall speed and with the phone as a whole when I get another ultra I will keep this as a reliable backup.

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 got this a week ago and I'm in love with my A26,the camera quality is so good both the front and back camera🤭i love the glass back, it feels so classy! My samsung is fast,my battery lasts long,and I the big screen is so good to have especially when I watch videos or play online games🎮,this phone made all my pictures look so much better and gives good quality, I had NO problems at all,I love my samsung A26❤️

I bought the Galaxy A26 5G a month ago and I’m genuinely impressed. The performance is smooth, the screen is bright and clear, and the battery lasts all day with ease. The camera takes great photos for a phone in this price range, and I love how fast it connects with 5G. It’s perfect for everyday use, streaming, social media, and even gaming. Definitely great value for money — I’m very happy with this purchase!

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.

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 bought the A26 just over a month ago as a birthday present to myself and I could not be happier. The feature on this phone is out of this world. The camera is amazing for a mid range phone and the layout and look of the phone feels very high class. 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 bought this phone about two months ago, and I am so happy with the decision I took to purchase this phone, I love everything about it. Samsung did a great job with the camera quality, what's best is the AI features it came with, what's best is that the phone was pre-installed, I've had the best use of this phone, it's a great budget/midrange device, i would highly recommend, its just thin and portable.

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.

I bought this phone two months ago and I must say how.The Cameras are amazing, I take alot of photos on a daily basis and these cameras just make it so much easier.Tge one ui 7 works so seamlessly with this phone. My favorite feature is the circle to search feature. I love this phones design and durability with its Ip 67 rating so I can go through my day and not be worried when an accident happens.

I bought this about 2 years ago after working my very first waitress job and put my entire salary into buying this phone. I am still so absolutely in awe of this phone I've had hauwei phones in the past and can I just say it is such a breeze to have a samsung no more of the struggle to download a simple app or not being able to update things samsung is the best of the best and I'm never going back

Budget friendly smart phone. Innovative features. Impeccable design with a perfect camera cut-out. This device was advertised to me in a shop when I'm the first place I had not even intended on purchasing a device at all. But I was so appalled and aroused by it's capabilities and presentation. It is indeed an Awesome Phone and using it for 4 months now, I can proudly say this device is for me.

I had to stop using my high end Motorola phone because the phone reception at my home was terrible. Telstra could not boost my signal but suggested this phone because it has a Blue Tick for reception. And it's true since I bought my A26 I get no more call drop outs or straight to voice mail and now I can actually use my phone's Data for a change. The Signal reception on this phone is Awesome.

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!🥹

The Battrey life is very poor. I have to charge it every day. My old A13 lasted days before I had to charge it. The display, adaptive brightness is turned off but when I go outside it dims in sunlight and cant see the phone or photos. Camera is good and I like the upgraded functions from the A13. Mixed feelings on this phone after having it for only a month does not feel like a new phone.

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.

It is a great phone and don't regret getting it they can work on the battery a bit as it only last 1 day also would like if it could have had wireless charging that would just make it one of the best ..camera is excellent no problem no problem with any connectivity on anything anywhere,it has a great display for gaming and working,the performance is also great no lagging or problem at all

I love what Samsung have done with this phone they have made it at a affordable price but loaded with features. I love that they have added the crazy cool circle to search feature and I love the FHD+ display with it's 120hz refresh rate. Samsung have really out done themselves with this phone. If you're looking for a affordable phone get the Samsung A26 5g you'll never go wrong with it.

Only had this for about 3 weeks, replaces an i phone 11. The Galaxy A26 is so much more straightforward to use, apps load instantly, camera is easy to work, the buttons and touch screen work really well, the best yet! The battery lasts far longer than the iphone so that's good. Really impressed and very pleased I bought it. Still finding out how to do some things as I'm not a techi.

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.

Excellent phone for the price. I'm really happy with performance, camera quality, storage and transferring everything over from my old phone was simple and relatively quick. Easy to navigate the menus. Clear, crisp images. Highly recommend this phone if you want a phone for everyday use. I don't stream or game so can't comment, but this phone is perfect for my day to day needs.
