Fantastic upgrade from the S22+!

on October 26, 2026

Posted by: EuRo8675309

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S26+ for a bit now and I’m really happy with it. Coming from an S22+, the Smart Switch made the move incredibly smooth—everything transferred over without any hassle, which I absolutely loved.
The photo quality is so much better than I could have imagined. Colors look richer, details are sharper, and even everyday shots look noticeably improved. The phone also feels snappy and responsive, which makes daily use really enjoyable.
Overall, this has been a great upgrade and I’m very happy with the S26+ so far. Highly recommend if you’re coming from an older Galaxy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So i'm sixty five years old, and I have used samsung galaxy for many years. This is my favorite samsung galaxy phone of all time. It's easy to use and easy to see, and I use it for fitness tracking. So intuitive, everything comes easy with this phone. Lots of advanced features great camera. I love the bluetooth feature being able to connect multiple speakers at one time.

Galaxy S26+

on October 24, 2026

Posted by: trtled

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the plus version of the new S series Galaxy because it still had all the features I wanted along with a more affordable price. I have been using Samsung Galaxy phones for years, and they never disappoint. I have been using A series phones for a few years and am so excited to have an S. I've only had it for about a week, but so far it is everything I had hoped for. I'm excited for the great camera on this one. There are a lot of new AI features I haven't tried yet, but also all the same Galaxy features I'm used to. The screen size is amazing as well. I haven't found anything I don't really like with this one yet!

My New Galaxy S26+

on October 23, 2026

Posted by: ARandomHouseplant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thoroughly enjoyed using my previous hand-me-down S22 and took great care of it, but it eventually began to overheat, slow down, and lose battery life quickly. After considering the S25 Ultra and the S25+, I ultimately selected the S26+, which has resolved all of those issues, and I am glad I chose it.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S26 PLUS

on October 22, 2026

Posted by: Travelhappy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I choose this phone because I had the S25 and knew that it was a great phone. I bought the unlocked phone and transferred all of my data, apps, contacts and photos. Had no problems doing this. The only issue I had was that I had to go get a new Sim card from my carrier, because i wanted to be able to change my phone carrier when I travel to Europe, by replacing the Sim card once I get there. I was totally surprised when my my phone actually connected to my aftermarket carplay without having to go thru the setup and pairing process again. This was a major plus for me. GREAT Phone!

Same great experience but...

on October 21, 2026

Posted by: TsumeRokaro

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26+ as a typical upgrade. Overall I have been quite happy with it. However, some of the more recent updates have felt like a bit of a backslide in terms of intuitive usage. I was a BIG user of the swipe functions that were tied to different parts of the bottom of the screen. Having that all change to one type of option at the bottom really didn't feel like an UPGRADE so much as a restriction. I also understand the push for new apps...but it's really frustrating to have a series of apps recommended after certain upgrades. Maybe this affects all galaxy models, but it just felt unnecessary.

I have truly and honestly enjoyed the quality of the camera, battery life, and size of the phone. I'm a small person so continuing to go bigger is not necessarily better. The designs have been nice but the transition to slim-but-with-raised-lenses has not been my favorite change either. It's just was more easy to damage the lenses and the phone overall without a case.

4* but I have small, first world beefs.
