[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using my A25 EG especially when I'm gaming or searching the screen is large and the light on the phone dims with shade and lighting along with a loud speaker for movies and videos also the noise cancelation for your uploads and reels not to mention the light weight style and easy to use camera with automatic lighting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is great at streaming movies and sports. And the Galaxy AI is great for work projects, very easy to use.
Also, the 50 megapixel camera is easy to use and takes very smooth shots.
This phone is very affordable and comes with everything you need preloaded.

It is filled with so much unremovable bloatware that it is SO slow.

Most preferred in the 2025 A series
on December 11, 2025
Posted by: KRS03
from NW PNW
The Galaxy SM-A266UZKAXAA is one of the only USA qualified phones, unlocked for all carriers.
This model, A26, rarely is price-reduced. It surpasses the A36/A56 in some ways, having a microSD slot.
It appears to be the most preferred model of the A series this year.

For the most part, I am happy with my new Galaxy A26 5G phone. My biggest complaint, so far is that I need to restart it at least once or twice a day because the wifi stops working. It is a whole lot cheaper than a Galaxy S25 though. I have had it for about 1 month.

Hi Tom Estep,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Galaxy A26 5G. It's great to hear you're generally satisfied. Reliable connectivity is essential for everyday smartphone use, and your feedback highlights how network performance affects daily routines. If you find yourself restarting your phone every few hours because of Wi-Fi problems, resetting your Wi-Fi connection might help. To do this, go to Settings, then General management, and select Reset. Choose Reset network settings for mobile issues or Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems. Confirm by tapping Reset and entering your security code if prompted. For more tips on maintaining a stable Wi-Fi connection and reducing restarts, see our online article linked below. Samsung appreciates your feedback and thanks you for choosing us.
