Great phone, battery lasts a good time, and I love that it has the ability for memory expansion up to 2TB. I got this phone for my wife and now I bought one for myself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Phone is worse than my previous A23. Screen freezes randomly while Gemini works yet has no ability to restart the phone. Would not recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An Awesome Leap for the Everyday User: My Review of the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G isn't just another mid-range smartphone; it's a testament to Samsung's commitment to bringing premium features to a wider audience. Having spent some time with this device, I can confidently say it delivers an "Awesome" experience, especially with the intelligent enhancements of Galaxy AI.
Right out of the box, the A26 5G impresses with its sleek design. The thin body feels great in hand, and the glossy glass back gives it a surprisingly premium feel for its price point. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display is a joy to behold. Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and the smooth visuals make everything from Browse social media to watching videos a truly immersive experience. While some might miss a higher refresh rate, for everyday use, this display is more than sufficient and a clear highlight.
Under the hood, the Exynos 1380 chipset handles daily tasks with admirable fluidity. Apps open quickly, multitasking is a breeze, and even casual gaming is surprisingly enjoyable without significant lag or heating issues. The 5000mAh battery is a true workhorse, easily lasting a full day, and often well into the next, even with moderate to heavy usage. When you do need to top up, the 25W fast charging gets you back in action swiftly.
But what truly elevates the Galaxy A26 5G beyond a typical mid-range phone is the inclusion of Galaxy AI. Samsung has done an excellent job of integrating

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy A25 isn't anything that I was expecting and told it was. The phone just isn't up to par compared to other galaxy models. It's worth the extra money to by the upgraded S models.

Posted by: Brwnsuga1975
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I love Samsung won't switch even though I'm not a fan of all the updates. My Galxy AI is great, my picture quality is great just wish I had more filters and a little bit more advanced edit options.

The Samsung Galaxy 26 5G User Performance Review
on August 1, 2025
Posted by: MollyRoxi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G , in my opinion, is the top phone choice compared to other models in the same price range. For the average user this device will meet all your needs for day to day use. It exceeds other phones in its price range in performance, battery life , size , and durability. It is perfect for someone who doesn't need all the performance or who can't afford the cost of a Galaxy S25 Ultra, but still needs an above average phone at a very affordable price. For day to day activities and entertainment the A26 5G will not disappoint. For the price of this unit you will be very impressed at its capabilities. I was unsure about the device when I first got it, but after a few days of using it, I was very happy that I decided to choose the A26 5G. It's been a phenomenal device that has exceeded my expectations by far. I couldn't be happier.
