    I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy 26 and I’m really impressed with it. The size is just perfect comfortable to hold and easy to use throughout the day, without feeling too bulky. The performance is smooth and reliable, and everything just works effortlessly. One of the biggest advantages for me is the battery life it’s excellent and easily lasts through a full day of use, even with regular browsing, photos, and apps. It gives real peace of mind not having to worry about charging all the time. The camera is also very good, delivering clear and vibrant photos in different lighting conditions. Overall, it’s a great all-around phone that balances performance, size, and battery really well. I’m very happy with it 👍

    I use a Samsung S23 for business. I have contacted Samsung's chat support twice about the Reminder app. It keeps re-installing updates, messing around with my calendar, giving me needless notifications and in general being a pain in the backside. The app has only been a problem for the past 6-12 months, otherwise it was never an issue. I have uninstalled the updates and used force stop regularly, yet that just does not stop the app from coming back from the dead and annoying the living [fecal matter] out of me. I have not had a problem with Samsung in about 10 years until now.

    The Samsung S26 genuinely feels like a major step forward, combining a sleek premium design with one of the best displays I’ve ever used—bright, smooth, and incredibly sharp. Performance is flawless, handling everything from daily tasks to heavy apps without any lag, while the camera delivers stunning, true-to-life photos in any lighting, easily rivaling a professional setup. Battery life comfortably lasts all day and charges quickly, making it reliable for real-world use. What really stands out is how polished and seamless the entire experience feels—Samsung hasn’t just improved specs, they’ve refined everything. The S26 isn’t just another upgrade, it sets a new standard for what a smartphone should be.

    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 this about 3 weeks ago and I wish I could get a refund. Basic problems on first use, Battery icon is too small and I have to go into settings to actually see it. I have to go through 3 steps just to get into the phone. Tap, slide and pin. Can't find anyway to change this. Time on basic platform, once you get into the phone is as small as battery sign is. When ready to hang up the phone and press the hang up button it often recalls the person I was talking to, whether the call comes in or goes out. Last night I tried desperately to turn the flash light on but no but no matter which way I tried I could not find the icon for it.

    Setelah melakukan transisi dari seri Ultra sebelumnya (S23 Ultra) selama 2 minggu, impresi pertama saya adalah peningkatan kenyamanan dalam genggaman tanpa mengorbankan kekuatan performa. Proses migrasi data menggunakan Smart Switch berjalan sangat mulus dan cepat, memindahkan semua pengaturan serta data penting dalam hitungan menit dan paling penting warnanya sangat saya suka. Pilihan yang sangat tepat bagi siapa pun yang mencari keseimbangan antara teknologi AI tercanggih, performa perangkat keras yang tangguh, dan kenyamanan penggunaan harian. Sangat direkomendasikan bagi pengguna yang ingin merasakan ekosistem Samsung di level tertinggi.

    I brought the S26 a month ago and I'm so glad I did - it’s been an amazing upgrade. The camera quality is outstanding — photos come out sharp, vibrant, and professional-looking with very little effort. The speed and performance are super smooth, whether I’m multitasking, using apps, or just browsing day-to-day. I also love how it supports productivity — everything feels efficient and easy to manage, which makes a big difference when you’re on the go. And the colour? Absolutely beautiful — sleek, modern, and exactly what I was hoping for. Overall, I’m really impressed. Samsung has definitely delivered a premium experience with this one.

    I like the new Samsung Galaxy S26, and my favorites new features it's the new Now Nudge and AI selector, from Galaxy AI. Now Nudge allows me to respond quicker than I could, and AI selector lets me copy text from content that originally couldnt be copied, easily and rapidly. However, when I see the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, I notice how advanced its display is, since it has a new screen feature called Privacy Display. And when I look back at my Samsung Galaxy S26, I wonder why it doesn't have the Privacy Display feature, which could have been great. Overall, it’s a good phone, that I would've liked it to have the new Privacy Display feature.

    I've had multiple Galaxy series since the S5. My last one was an S10 and the improvements since then are phenomenal. The camera quality is above average, storage at 512gb for the regular S26 model, user interface responsiveness has done a few haywire things, customization features awesome. I'm most impressed by the integrated AI feature that I can activate at any point without having to exit the current screen I'm on. The Galaxy AI features are not only fun but very handy and I've been using it more frequently whereas before I was mostly opposed to it. Overall I'm impressed and happy with the S26 and hopefully it will last me a long time.

    The Samsung Galaxy S26 offers a truly premium experience, boasting innovative features that elevate mobile technology. Its advanced camera system, powered by Galaxy AI, allows for stunning photography in any condition. The sleek design and vibrant display further enhance its appeal, making it a joy to use. In contrast, the Samsung A16 provides a solid and reliable performance for everyday tasks. It delivers a user-friendly interface and dependable functionality at a more accessible price point. However, I personally have found that the Galaxy S series phones are more to my personal preference and liking than any of the other Samsung phone series.

    I upgraded from the S22 to the S26, and honestly—it was such a great decision. First of all, the pink gold color is absolutely stunning. It’s soft, dreamy, and cute, but still works for anyone regardless of gender. I didn’t expect to love it this much. The battery is also much better than the S22—I don’t even need a power bank anymore. On top of that, the new AI features are actually useful in everyday life, not just gimmicks. They really make things more convenient. Even though the camera hardware doesn’t look very different from the S22, the results are noticeably better thanks to improved software and processing. The photos just come out nicer. Overall, I’m really happy with this upgrade—it definitely feels worth it.

    I don't like it. Can't find things I used to have. For example, my flashlight is gone and I don't know how to get it back. It was something I used regularly. I will get a text, and it will not alert me. People have told me they sent a text, but they get a message that I was off-line. ??? NEVER used to happen before. Same thing happens when someone calls me. It won't ring then I get alerted that I missed a call! I will get a notification from Samsung at 4:00 in the morning advising of an update or giving my stats for the day. Really? Who wants to get woken uip at 4:00 in the morninbg. Give me back my old phone and I would be satisfied!

    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!

    Lo he conseguido con una oferta de lanzamiento muy buena. Pero hay que reconocer que el teléfono no vale lo que se pide por el. Es una barbaridad. Y eso que es el S26 básico. Interesado especialmente en la pantalla de privacidad, resulta que solo la implmentan en el Ultra... Sigo sin entender las funcionalidades AI. No es más que el Gemini al que se accede desde cualquier telefono. Las cámaras sobresalen un montón y la funda que regala samsung original no estabilza el teléfono sobre una superficie plana por lo que para usarlo hay que cogerlo sí o sí.

    We purchased 2 Galaxy S26's recently. We've had Galaxy phones and tablets since they 1st came on the market. A wise choice as we have only had an issue with one mobile many years ago, it was replaced immediately by Samsung atthetime. Customer service is on another level. The S26 is brilliant, continuous integration from one mobile to the next through the Smart Switch app is very helpful. The new features are still being investigated on our new mobiles but so far we are both very impressed with what the newest features can do for us. If you have been thinking about a new mobile phone purchase, you won't regret buying the Galaxy S26.

    Barley tapped the back of my phone on the corner table, cracking the back. Definitely debatable whether this phone will survive the year. Galaxy AI, alright. The bottom of the phone keeps glitching out on certain things, especially when a keyboard is involved. Keeps running apps like Facebook in the background, playing ads, with the screen locked. Shrink flation is noticeable. Thicker glass on both sides of the phone is recommended. 1/4 to with. I can care less about the length. The phone should automatically optimize and close out apps and anything else running in the background that I am not currently using. Makes my phone run hot.

    I've had Samsung Galaxy S models, the last 10 years, probably, and I've been very happy with them. The only problem that I have is I also have Samsung Galaxy S tablet and I don't know why Samsung wouldn't have the power button at the top or the bottom of both models.Why is it on the bottom of the phone and on the top of the tablet ? It's kind of confusing because I use the tablet and I use the phone about the same amount. And I always have to kind of consciously remember tablet power is on the top and the phone power at the bottom tab .. Other then that the Samsung Galaxy S26 plus I have now is excellent.Same as the other Galaxy.S models i've had.. 😊👍

    ​The standout feature of the Samsung Galaxy S26 is the shift to autonomous "agentic" AI. Instead of just answering basic prompts, the system wide integration of Gemini, Bixby, and Perplexity actively anticipates what you need. ​Photo Editing: The Creative Studio and Photo Assist features make complex edits foolproof. You can remove background distractions or generate custom graphics instantly without downloading extra apps. ​Now Nudge: This is incredibly helpful in daily use. It monitors your context and saves major steps like automatically gathering and suggesting the right photos when a friend texts asking about a recent trip.

    I have been using Samsung Galaxy products since 2013, and Samsung continues to impress me with innovation and quality. The Galaxy S26 512GB base model in Purple looks amazing and performs smoothly for everyday use, content creation, entertainment, and multitasking. I especially enjoy the Galaxy AI features because they make the phone feel smarter, more modern, and more helpful in daily life. The display quality, camera performance, battery life, and overall experience feel premium and polished. Samsung has remained my favorite mobile ecosystem for years because of the consistent improvements and unique features that stand out from other smartphones.

    I use this phone for everyday personal use and it hasn't had any issues with anything I do. Unlike a generic android this phone won't glitch and restart randomly. The processor seems like it can handle a heavy load and that makes the phone so seamless in my opinion. Things just like connecting to my Bluetooth radio in my car are even so much easier. The galaxy AI has been interesting since there are many built in features for it. I do like it but I'm still getting used to it also as I'm not an AI user typically. As a base model phone it's definitely worth the money. I bought me and my husband one! We love them overall! Geat phone.

    I choose the S24 for the storage and the camera and I have to say that the phone hasn't let me down yet. The battery lasts so much longer than any other phone I've ever had. All of the galaxy functions are better than any other phone that I've had. No slow downs or lock ups. Not one problem what so ever and the AI experience is very helpful for sure. Alot more complete help and answers to questions. I'm sure the galaxy phones are going to continue to be the best choice bar none for years to come. Samsung truly got it right the first time out. Forget any other manufacturer. Save your money and get a Samsung phone and cut out alot less stress in your life.

    I chose the Galaxy S26 because I needed a dependable device that could keep up with my daily routine, and it has easily exceeded all my expectations. The display is absolutely stunning, making it my favorite screen for streaming movies and watching live sports during my downtime. It also handles high-end gaming without any lag or overheating. Beyond entertainment, it is a fantastic tool for work; multitasking between documents, emails, and video calls is incredibly smooth. The battery easily lasts me through a full day of heavy use, and the camera captures incredibly sharp photos every time. It’s a fantastic all-around phone that handles everything I throw at it!

    Been a couple of weeks. I went from s24fe to the s26. Quadrupled my storage to 512GB, and increased my RAM by 50%. So, for that, I am happy. But, sometimes, especially for numbers it will move one of the numbers from near the beginning, to the end of the sequence. And, when responding to a Facebook video sent to me from Messenger, it is difficult to touch the SEND Otherwise, I am appreciating the ease of holding a slightly smaller device. For example, I am able to do pics with one hand easier; and, when on my belt holster it doesn't dig into my belly side. Being a slightly smaller battery capacity, I am happy it lasts as long as my larger s24fe battery

    The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a fast, compact flagship that focuses on performance and practical AI features rather than big innovation. It delivers smooth everyday use, strong multitasking, and one of the best displays available, all in a refined, easy-to-handle design. However, battery life is its biggest weakness, often struggling to last a full day with heavier use. The camera is solid but not a major upgrade, making the overall experience feel incremental compared to previous models. It’s a reliable choice for those wanting a balanced Android phone, but not ideal if battery life or cutting-edge upgrades are your top priorities.

    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..

    I chose galaxy over every other phone company my whole life, except for when it was out of my control what phone I got. Let me tell you this the Samsung Galaxy S26 is the best phone I have ever owned hands down and the s26 is so easy to use and has a user friendly operating system and theres helpful hints for every feature on the phone. As well as having the smoothest transitions between apps and the processing speed of this phone is out of this world its so fast. The sound quality is the best I've ever heard on a handheld device it handles 8d sound with ease. I'll continue to always choose Samsung Galaxy products over anything else for the rest of my life.

I have taken many photos as its great you can edit them so easily. The camera to me is great. The phone performance for me is great. It's not slow at all for what I use the phone for, shopping watching videos or movies. I love the size of this phone, the durability is awesome. I had the flip before and I do think this is the best Samsung phone I have had over the years. The battery is the best for this phone. I definitely recommend this over the flip.

    Straight out the box the phone looks and feels well made, with a nice sleek look. The phone is easy to set up with step by step guidance and it's easy transferring everything from your previous phone! Some of the new features have been really fun and useful to utilise. The ai translator works well and I can't wait use to use whilst on holiday, imagine it will be very useful. The photo editing software is a game changer for me, it's so simple to edit photos, remove unwanted details and my daughter loves the ai edits which make her look like cartoons. The phones responsive and battery life so far is good even with long usage. So far really impressed and happy.

    I received my s26 about a week ago and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I know alot of people have mentioned how it isn't much of an upgrade from the s25 but as someone who's upgrading from the Flip 6 (I know, I know but I kind of just wanted better battery and cameras) it is an upgrade. The cameras and battery life are a significant upgrade for me. It's also very snappy and smooth. I've also been converted back to Bixby. She's kind of cool now (although she needs to be better at language recognition). I also love the design. I got the white which just looks sleek. I'd like to use her naked but unfortunately I don't have a great track record in that regard

    Un gran móvil con unas prestaciones muy buenas. Tiene un tamaño óptimo, no es muy grande, y la calidad de la pantalla, tanto la imagen como el táctil. Son muy buenos. El audio es una maravilla. Buena calidad y potencia, y las cámaras son una pasada, el estabilizador va fenomenal a la hora de hacer fotos. La batería se carga rápido y puedes configurar que solo cargue hasta el 80% para alargar la vida de la batería. Por ponerle una pega, que no trae la opción de segundo espacio, que es muy útil en mi caso. Y que me cuesta desbloquear la huella, en el otro móvil lo hacía sin problemas, no se si será cuestión de acostumbrarme a la posición de la huella en éste.

Gaming wise, I play quite a few games and it super beneficial the screen is just the right size for me i don't get any headaches from it I absolutely enjoy playing games and how large my screen is , I went from a twenty four ultra plus to an s twenty six i like the difference in the screen size.I like how my screen is smaller but still manageable i love how my phone can fit in my pocket finally , instead of being this bulk that I can't get into any of my pockets.

    Saya pengguna setia samsung dari awalnya memakai galaxy core, A5, S8, S10e, Zflip 3 hingga S23. Awalnya ragu mau pindah dari S23 atau engga karena jika hanya melihat dari tulisan spesifikasi kamera masih sama namun setelah menggunakan nya sekitar kurang lebih sebulan sama sekali tidak ada penyesalan. Mulai dari body hp yang lebih tipis, lebih ringan, warna baru juga hingga paling penting untuk saya itu kamera karena udah se suka itu dengan kamera S23 dan ternyata di S26 sudah sangat improve sekali kameranya. Dari segi warna, kejernihan, kamera tele, kamera selfie semuanya bagus banget pokonya gaakan nyesel buat yang masih bingung mau ganti S26 series apa engga.

    I am greatful for the productivity features built into this device . Very convenient for a variety of tasks that would usually require me to use my laptop. I still haven't utilized many for the features however I plan on getting around to doing so,at least to get familiarized with them. I just recently performed a device update and in the process of reorganizing my apps and app drawer layout for a more convenient way to access the tools for various projects Im currently working on. This helps seamlessly improve my work flow and prevents me from getting sidetracked by other things in my device unrelated to the task at hand.

    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.

    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!!!

    I pre-ordered then traded my Galaxy S25 up to the new Galaxy S26 through Samsung/Asurion again, this is the fifth time I have done this and again it was seamless. My new phone is so good, it is faster, slightly bigger, although not noticeable and is a great upgrade that I make every year when the new model is released. I couldn't be happier with my new phone, the price and the overall process of the trade-up program arranged by Samsung is the best way to upgrade particularly when you pre-order and get the 512Gb for the price of 256Gb plus some other discounts for pre-ordering this fantastic phone. I love it. Thankyou Samsung . I will be back for more.

    The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a powerful new smartphone with a bright screen, strong performance, and good cameras. It has a smooth display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, so scrolling and gaming feel very smooth. The phone runs on a fast new chip and came with 512 GB storage, which is good for apps, photos, and videos. It also has many AI features that help with photo editing, translation, and smart suggestions. The camera is solid and can take clear photos in both day and night.

    When i chose this phone I got more than I was expecting. But then again I didn't really look all that close at everything it featured when I ordered it. I'm an old lady so I am still confused about all of the AI stuff but it seems really intense especially if you subscribe to some of the AI features. I basically use my phone for gaming and streaming. And of course for texting and phone calls, lol. I also use it a lot for YouTube. I think it is a pretty great phone but the only downside to it is that when it updates it will automatically put games on your phone so I have to go in and remove them every so often because I don't play 5hise particular games what so ever.

    I like all about it with the exception of the fingerprint and face recognition. After a day maybe it got to where it could not verify my fingerprint. Amd half the time says ita not me for the facial recognition. Other than that it is great. It's very fast, plenty of storage. The camera is unbelievable. Running powerful AI and python code is very doable on here. The in-house Galaxy AI is brilliant, as is the image studios. The ability to integrate Gemini and Perplexity is great as well. If a fix or cure for my fingerprint and facial problems is found, this would be a 5 and no complaints at all. Even with them, this is still the best phone I have ever had. Keep it up!

    ​The Galaxy S26 has been an incredible upgrade for both my professional and personal routine. Between preparing course materials and managing a heavy workload, the Galaxy AI features have been a massive help for quickly organizing notes and streamlining my daily schedule. Beyond work, the device is an absolute powerhouse for entertainment. The screen is incredibly vibrant, and the processor handles demanding mobile games like Epic Seven and Harry Potter: Magic Awakened flawlessly without stuttering or draining the battery too fast. It's a fantastic daily driver that perfectly balances my productivity with my downtime.

    My Samsung Galaxy S26 is an absolute powerhouse that completely elevates your daily routine. From the moment you wake up, its seamless performance and blazing-fast processing speed make multitasking feel completely effortless, whether you're managing a packed schedule, streaming music, or jumping between apps on the fly. The display is stunningly crisp, making everything from morning notifications to evening media look incredible, while the battery effortlessly keeps pace with your busiest days without missing a beat. It’s more than just a smartphone; it’s a beautifully designed, ultra-reliable daily companion that handles everything you throw at it with perfect ease.

    I’ve been using the Samsung S26 for a while now and honestly super impressed with it. The performance is very smooth, apps open fast, and multitasking feels effortless even with heavy use. The camera quality is amazing — photos come out sharp and vibrant both day and night. Battery life is also reliable and lasts me the whole day without worry. The display is probably one of my favorite parts: bright, crisp, and perfect for watching videos or scrolling social media. I also love the premium feel and sleek design of the phone. Overall, the S26 feels powerful, stylish, and worth it for everyday use. Highly recommended!

    When it was time to trade in my s20 I looked at a few different phones. I'm glad I chose the s26. The quality of Samsung phones let's me feel good about purchasing the s26, knowing I'll get years of updates and the phone will last past many phone model upgrades. I also have a Samsung tablet that pairs seamlessly with this phone, I love that it's so easy to continue what I was doing on the tablet or vice versa. I can also take phone calls on my tablet. All in all, the s26 is worth the price. It takes wonderful pictures, crisp sound to listen to music and all the features you want in a phone. Best purchase ever!

    My S23 was dying, so I went to purchase a new S25, I was then told the new S26 was coming out in a few weeks, I was ecstatic. It seems like it took forever to receive the phone, but it finally arrived. It had the same feelings as the S23, a bit larger, bit not an issue. Although the other models have some great features, I just can't get used to having a larger phone in my pocket. I got to use the AI on some of my pics while on vacation, quick and easy to use, great results. I use my S26 for both personal and professional, the transferring all data for the old one to the new was seriously painless and fairly quick. Ala in all it has been a very good experience.

    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 upgraded to this phone and wad excited to get a new phone!! I was a little disappointed in the beginning because I had a lot of issues with service. Whenever I would connect to my wifi I wouldn't have internet on my phone. Things have gotten better so I'm very pleased with that. There are so many AMAZING features with Goodle, Galaxy Ai, the amazing photo editor, being able to circle what I want information on in a photo. There are still so many cool things I am discovering daily. I've only had the phone for 2 months. If the coverage issues keeps improving then I will definitely give 5 stars!! I wish the phone was a tad bit bigger. It makes it hard to type on the keyboard.

    I absolutely love this phone I was excited from the moment I ordered it, to the moment now where I'm writing this review. the processing speed is far superior to any phone I've used. it can power multiple devices without even thinking. the new Galaxy AI system is top of it's class. the phone does all the work for you. the camera? forget about it. you basically own a crystal clear high end piece of film equipment. I love this phone. I like to download games and play them for a lil extra money and it handles everything with complete ease. I can't stand the other competitor products. we all know who I'm talking about. it's fast, it's easy, it's seamless, and it's user friendly.

    I upgraded to the s26 from an older samsung and it's been great. It's incredibly smooth, with seamless transitions for different modes and customizations. The Galaxy AI integration in the image editor has made it incredibly accurate for removing, altering, and moving items in photos. It can play videos in many speeds and save edits in seconds. The 50mp camera is great for group shots to get the detail of everyone's face. And the added storage is fantastic for all the apps I have for managing finance, social media, tools, and entertainment. Samsung money also continues to provide a best in class high yield checking and savings combo that works for everything. Just loving this!

    Very similar to the s25 I used as a trade-in. Hardware wise, it's the same basic camera. The phone doesn't sit flush on a flat surface--very wobbly with the protruding camera bump. Otherwise, not that much has changed. Horizontal lock on videos is nice. Still no Qi2 magnets on the phone. Galaxy AI features are so, so.... Microphone quality is good. Speakers are clear and balanced. Remain disappointed in no memory expansion slot on flagship phones; a feature that has been sorely missed since the S10! Love the fact that it still has DeX! Overall, it's very nice, but nothing particularly noteworthy. Just my 2¢.

    Had this for a few weeks now and really happy with it. Screen is bright and sharp, easy to read outside. Phone's light and comfy in the hand. Battery is the best part — lasts all day easy, sometimes into the next morning. My old phone needed charging twice a day so this is a big upgrade. Camera takes great shots, colours look natural, low light is way better than I expected. The 3x zoom is handy too. It's fast, no lag at all. The AI stuff is actually useful — I use Circle to Search all the time now. Only downside is charging feels a bit slow for the price. Otherwise can't fault it. Really glad I got it.

    I moved away from a Samsung phone after several years on the advice of others, big mistake, everyday I was sorry. I am back with Samsung now to stay, not once since making the move to come back have I been sorry. Samsung is so user friendly and versatile. If I want my phone to do it, I just need to do some research and find out how. I really love that I can hold my finger down on an app icon, press the "i" and it goes right to where I can make changes to that app in a flash with out having to search in settings to find where to make the change! Thanks Samsung for continuing to make such a great phone!!

    I upgraded to the Galaxy S26 recently and have been really impressed so far. The phone feels premium in the hand and runs smoothly even when switching between apps and multitasking. The camera takes sharp, vibrant photos and performs well in different lighting conditions. Battery life has been reliable throughout the day and charging has been convenient. I also like the display quality and overall design. There are lots of small improvements that make everyday use feel easier and more polished. Overall, it feels like a well thought out upgrade and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a premium Android phone.

    The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra completely redefines what a flagship smartphone should be. My absolute favorite feature is the groundbreaking Privacy Display, which keeps sensitive screen content completely hidden from side angles while maintaining crystal-clear visuals from the front—perfect for commuting. ​Beyond privacy, the device is an absolute performance powerhouse. The Galaxy AI integration makes everyday tasks effortless, from real-time call translation to smart photo editing. The camera setup continues to impress with stunning low-light clarity and crisp long-range zoom capabilities. Combined with all-day battery life and a sleek design, it’s an incredible daily driver.

    I've only had my S26 a couple of weeks but so far I am very happy with it. Battery life is good, pictures are clear and sharp, display is excellent and easy to see especially in sunlight. Performance has been great with quick response time and easy setup. Durability seems good but I added a case for extra protection. I like the size of the S26 ... it's a little smaller then the Plus and the Ultra. I've had a number of Samsung phones and tablets and had great luck with them all except for my Samsung Flip 5 ... the inner screen went in 2 years which was very disappointing. Hope the S26 lasts longer.

    Tras un par de meses con el Galaxy S26, lo que más agradezco es su tamaño: pesa solo 167 gramos, tiene una pantalla brutal de 6,3 pulgadas y se usa perfectamente con una sola mano. Además, la batería de 4.300 mAh cumple de sobra para todo el día. ​Pero lo que realmente lo pone por encima de cualquier rival es cómo Samsung ha integrado la Inteligencia Artificial en el día a día a través de su software: - Audio inteligente - Redacción contextual - Lector de huellas ultrasonico Si buscas un gama alta compacto, potentísimo y con el software más inteligente y práctico del mercado, el S26 no tiene competencia.

    I traded in my old S21 Ultra with Telstra for a new S26 phone one week ago and am absolutely delighted with my new phone. As much as I loved my old phone it was a large phone and I deliberately chose the S26 because of its smaller size. It fits so much better in my shirt pocket and is much lighter and is a refreshing change. I am also impressed with the AI features and the really good pictures from its camera as well as it's great bright display. Being smaller, but not too small feels just right in my hand and it was a great choice. I far prefer it to the larger sizes still offered and its just perfect.

    I finally needed an upgrade from my S20 Ultra and decided to go for the base S26. It is such a huge upgrade from what I was using it's crazy! Galaxy AI is one of the coolest features I've seen yet and I absolutely love the ease of using it as well. I got the purple and I absolutely love the color. It fits in your hands perfectly (my S20 was a beast and hard to use with one hand!) and it's easy to hold and use with one hand which is so, so nice. The camera isn't anything extraordinary but I really like the overall functionality and speed of my phone and all the apps a lot. 10/10 a super great upgrade!!!

    overall pretty good. great battery life, performance, camera. some things I wish were different: 1. size: the old s22 and even s10e were great compact phones. the base model has only gotten bigger and bigger. what ever happened to pocketable phones. 2. magnets: the whole "qi2 ready" thing is pretty lame. Why even say that when we have to buy a case and specialized accessories that fit the massive camera bump. super misleading. 3. battery. please give us the new silicon carbon batteries. other brands are already doing it. also I don't really use galaxy AI much but the circle to search is super useful.

    I chose the Samsung Galaxy S 26 after reading details about its excellent camera and photo capabilities. I take lots of photos so clarity, high zoom quality, and nighttime clearness were all important to me. The other quality options included were just an added bonus. Everything I hoped for with the Samsung Galaxy phone camera have been realized. The clarity of zoom photos is exceptional compared to my previous phones. This is my first experience with Samsung and for the most part I am very pleased. If I have a complaint about my phone, it would be that I have to charge the battery more often than I expected. For the most part I am very pleased with my first Samsung product!

    Can't say how happy I am with this new samsung. The quality of the camera is something else, much clearer than my previous S24 which was pretty good! The size of the phone is perfect, not too big or small. Its also very fast when searching or scrolling, the screen is so clear and vibrant. Only had it a day and already see how good it is going to be. Still got a lot to explore on the S26 but loving it already!! This phone is slightly bigger than my previous one, however it doesn't feel heavier. The touch screen is smooth and doesn't lag. I would definitely recommend this phone to my friends and family.

    This device has become an essential tool for my daily routine, particularly for managing complex tasks between school and work. The integration of Galaxy AI has significantly improved my efficiency when summarizing long documents and organizing my research notes. The display quality is outstanding for reviewing technical data and papers, and the battery life consistently lasts through a full day of heavy use. It feels like a premium, reliable piece of hardware that handles multitasking without any lag. This has been a life saver as i would not have been able to do my studies with my previous old phone.

    Upgraded from an S23. Somewhat better functionality, currently searching for how to disable the side bars and wallet swipe features, handy if they're things you would use frequently but that aspect is not something that appeals to me personally. Faster load times for some apps, I've had a few connectivity issues with third party devices needing to be resynced to handset with every use, such as Logitech headphones. It could be a me problem, I'm not always savvy enough troubleshooting those types of problems and sometimes I just cannot be a*sed. Does what I need it to other than that. Good 9/10.

    After using Samsung phones for the last 18 years, I decided to try something smaller this time. My previous phones were the S25 Ultra and the Fold 7, both amazing devices. The S26 is exactly what I was looking for — compact, comfortable to use, yet still very powerful. It handles all the AI features and daily tasks smoothly without any issues. Great performance in a smaller size. Really loving it!💯

    I updated from a Samsung S23 to the S26 a couple of weeks ago and I am very happy with the purchase. Moving from a S23 to a S26, the phone and its layout, apps and settings were really familiar so the changeover was not a issue. The phone itself has a slightly larger screen but is slimmer and doesn't feel bulky or large in the hand. It is quick, has a crisp clear display and to me, it is easy to use. The Galaxy AI is a help and isn't overly intrusive. This is my 4th Samsung phone, so they must be doing something right. I think the Samsung S26 is a great phone and a nice improvement over my S23.

    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

    It’s OK. I am having to add my contacts as they didn’t transfer over. However I seem to have a lot of names I don’t know so don’t have to add them. Every time I get or make a call this irritating window pops up with suggestions such as leave a message, can’t talk right now - no idea how to get rid of it permanently. Also these adverts pop up. I hate that and don’t want to see them. The phone kept changing time zones on me - very frustrating when putting in appointments. I think I fixed this but wonder why it decided to do that. My notifications aren’t working like they did on my old phone. I have no idea how to get new notification sounds either. Not very user friendly for seniors!

    I have got this phone to upgrade my S22 and I am very happy with it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of differences between the day to day functionality of the S22 and S26 however there are lots of small added features which I seem to keep discovering the more I use the phone. Something I recently stumbled across was the ability to remove unwanted audio from videos - this is something I never thought I needed but has turned out to be quite useful. The battery life is very good and the phone is quick to charge. It is a very responsive phone and I have not yet noticed any performance issues. Like other Samsung phones, the camera is good but not amazing. Overall I would recommend this phone

Audio Eraser is a fantastic feature that allows you to remove unwanted background noise from videos - superb for certain events where you may want to remove crowd noise! The battery life is enhanced by the powerful processor and Galaxy AI, and it will keep you going with ease on those busier days. Charging is fast when you do need quick boosts of power!

    I upgraded my Galaxy S23 to this Galaxy S26. Though my S23 had served me very well and I'd had it for 3 years, I felt I needed to upgrade it due to the battery length being very short. However, this S26 (currently) has better battery life, thanks to the increase in battery size, however it's still not a great for on-screen time battery length. Everything else seems very familiar but I had no qualms with anything else. The small size of the phone and the low weight are what I like most about it - I barely feel it in my pocket, yet it's a very capable little device that does all I need it to do.

    I'm really loving my new Samsung Galaxy S25. It's incredibly fast, smooth, and makes everything I do easier. The camera is amazing, the display is beautiful, and the battery keeps up with my busy days. What really stands out is the AI—it helps me write, edit, organize ideas, create content, and get things done so much faster. Whether I'm managing my Facebook groups, working on documents, designing graphics, or handling everyday tasks, it feels like having a smart assistant right in my pocket. It's been a fantastic upgrade, and I'm impressed with how much the AI enhances the overall experience.

    Jadi saat tahu Samsung akan launching S26 langsung buru-buru ikut POnya, alhamdulillah dapat voucher 500k yang aku pakai buat beli adaptor dan magnetic casenya yang lucu. Terimakasih samsung. Sudah sebulan pemakaian, so far S26 jelas jauh lebih pintar daripada S22, dan baterainya tidak boros karena diupgrade menjadi 4.300mAH. Yang paling aku suka, selain kameranya yg lebih jernih, ditambah fitur Horizonal Lock yang benar-benar hasilnya stabil saat aku pakai untuk take video sambil berlari. Terimakasih samsung, selalu bisa memberikan inovasi-inovasi baru yang sangat bermanfaat, Thanks a lot!!!

    I chose the s26 because ive had a Galaxy device for at least a decade and never had any issues out of the norm. To my surprise half way through my 24 monthly payments im dealing with the inssurance and customer care trying to get my phone repaired or replaced cause the bottom half of the screen blacked out. Thankfully it was covered under mechanical damage and a replacement was only 5$ but either way this was a first for me ii always considered the galaxy fairlt bullet proof we will see how long the recement lasts . With any luck this was an odd occurance and my shaken faith will be restored

    the look and feel just like the S23 but with more features i still am trying to figure out how they work durable all the new features i have to search for and turn them off or risk compromising my security the only way i could even know about these features that are working in the background is from the internet reviews still no dynamic theme at the galaxy theme store a whole lot of sounds and notification sound present in this S26 and id still rather download them from zedge the display is excellent cant tell the difference from the s23 as for the batter you can never have enough power

    the Galaxy AI feature on this phone is unreal I’ve been using it to check out aftermarket accessories for my car to get a quick preview before buying and it’s unbelievably amazing how accurate it is ​The camera setup is just as crazy It’s always ready to capture the moment for any memory wiping out those annoying "aw man, it doesn't look good" moments without you even having to think about it and the Performance this thing is a beast You’re never stuck waiting for it to catch up every interaction is super smooth and snappy Plus that high-quality AMOLED display brings all the colors to life

    I have had my new Samsung Galaxy S26 for a couple of days now and I am so happy that waited for this to come out before I upgraded! This thing does it all and then some! I am a gig worker so that means this phone is pretty much surgically attached to my hand! The versatility of the S26 is truly a blessing for any gig worker! The battery life is top notch, it's lightning fast, it's the perfect size for my usage, setting it up was a breeze, and don't get me started on the Galaxy AI and how useful it is on the fly! It's by far the best Android phone on the market, and it's not even close!

    The Samsung Galaxy S26 has surpassed every expectation I had for it! I've upgraded from an S22+ and I think Samsung outdid themselves once again. From the lightweight, slim design with it's new-gen display, to all the extra features you get with Galaxy AI and its UI 8.5, the S26 is a great option for anyone that's looking for a simple, feature-packed device that also makes you feel like you're keeping up with the latest tech without it being too much. I even convinced my best friend to switch over to Samsung after years of using a different phine brand, and they've enjoyed the phone just as much, if not more than me. We're glad to say we'll continue buying Samsung products, always great quality!

    I recently purchased the Samsung S26, and overall, I’m really happy with it. The performance is excellent — everything feels smooth and fast, whether I’m using apps, browsing, or multitasking. The display is another standout feature; it’s bright, sharp, and looks great for watching videos or just everyday use. The only downside I’ve noticed is the battery life. It’s not a major issue, but it’s also not the best — I do find myself charging it a bit more often than I expected. Overall, it’s a solid phone with great performance and display, just slightly held back by average battery life.

    phone is great! love the battery life, the performance and new features. the camera function seems to display colours more towards natural rather than vivid. not sure if i prefer this display. durability wise no issue as usual. my previous phone was a S22, this S26 screen is slightly bigger. i appreciate that. i misread however that the privacy toggle was on all S26, turns out it only applies to S26 ultra, minor disappointment there but I guess it's my fault considering i didn't read properly haha. would have gotten the S26 anyway. helps with all the ongoing promos really helped to reduce the cost of the phone. don't think apple will ever be able to beat with such discounts and overtrade bonuses.

    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.

    Congratulations on your upgrade to the stunning Galaxy S26, Moxi! We're thrilled to know you like it so much. The new processor is super speedy, and both the RAM and storage configurations are generous. Switching your data is super easy, as Samsung Smart Switch does all the heavy lifting for you. The design is lightweight and ergonomic, yet still retains a good sized screen for your content. The battery is enhanced to deliver reliable, all-day power with ease, even on those busier days, and charging is extremely fast. We appreciate your feedback regarding the Camera layout, and we want to let you know that the layout is specifically engineered to allow more light via a wider aperture, to deliver you those fantastic pro-grade shots. A case will absolutely help with the wobble when your phone is laid flat. Thank you so much for sharing your excellent feedback, and keep enjoying! ^EW at Samsung Support

    My name is Aden, I've had the s26 base model since the release day. My first thoughts were that it was extremely responsive and fast, especially because it is Snapdragon equipped it would make sense that it's fast. But after a couple months of ownership, I can proudly say the phone is as responsive as the day I purchased it. My favorite features is the ability to change how much ram your phone is using, and the ability to add weather to my locks creep is absolutely breathtaking. This phone alone has made me a diehard samsung fan and plan on making another purchase when we get the s27.

    I absolutely love my new s26. I have had an s phone series since the s5 and this edition is not a let down. It has all the features I've come to be dependent on but also offers so much more. The camera and features have been made easier to use and access. Don't get me started with the AI. I thought I would never be a fan of it but now I use it several time a day. From photo editing to opinions on situations, it has become like my personal assistant and my friend. Weird, I know. I would recommend updating to this version if you've been on the fence about i tell you it is worth it.

    "Galaxy Al" I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S26 about 3 or 4 days ago. First off I'm so in love with the color of my phone it is so cuuttee!! I love Samsung products but to get the color I had to pay the price and now I see my phone company has it cheaper but not the pretty colors that's on the website. Don't get me wrong the phone itself is amazing does amazing things so far but I'm still getting to know my new found baby. I can tell I also love the weight not heavy, the slim sleek design and the features but like I said I'm still getting to know my phone. Samsung I applaud you👏🏻

    The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a good choice as I wanted a compact, premium phone with strong AI features, and better battery life comparing it to my previous phone. It feels smooth, fast, and handles multitasking. I’ve used the camera and it is really good for everyday use. Low light shots look better and its great for casual photography or capturing random moments of my children. It’s a little gem. It’s the smallest one in the S26 family, which means it’s super easy to carry around and doesn’t feel like I’m holding a tablet to my face. Everything looks crisp, colourful, and just… nice.

    I have been a Samsung user for many years and, after reluctantly upgrading to the new Galaxy S26, really really regret doing so. It is the worst Samsung phone I have ever used. It was easy enough to set up and transfer my old phone's content, but it has been a pain in the backside to use. Almost nothing works. The S22 I previously had just worked - everything just worked. I am having to install, delete and reinstall apps multiple times to try get them to work. I cannot access a bunch of my old content. The Microsoft Authenticator app has been a major one to get working, and I am still battling. Really, I wish I never bought this phone. If my S22's battery lasted longer I would just go back to that one.
