Lots of features and fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Galaxy S26! I manage a local cell phone store and I've had hands on experience with lots of different phones. I chose the S26 because the Samsung S series has always been my goto device. But I gotta say this new S26 has some pretty awesome features! I especially like the capabilities of the Galaxy AI thats built into this lineup. I was little skeptical about the Galaxy AI at first but Samsung allows you to really do some fine tuning on how you want the whole AI to function. Or, you can turn it off completely! One thing I really like is how they give you the option to NOT upload any data that the AI collects. Its all stored locally encrypted on the device. That's a good thing if your worried about privacy.
Few other cool features I use are Link to Windows and continue on other device. With Link to Windows I can be on my laptop and any calls or messages I get on my phone show up on my laptop! Then with continue on other device I can take a Pic with my phone and it instantly is shared with my laptop where I edit the image. It's much easier for me to edit pics on my laptop.
Well, take my word for it, this is an awesome phone! I love it! I kinda wish I had the Galaxy S26 ultra because of the bigger screen but I do like the size of just the S26 because it fits in my pocket nicely.

Upgrade from S22 to S26
on May 17, 2026
Posted by: ScubaSteve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Biggest difference is the galaxy ai. Editing photos with it is super fun. S22 was a really good phone but the S26 blows it away. Couldn't be happier.

Perfect Phone
on May 17, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is the perfect size. It's so sleek and comfortable. The display is vivid and bright. This phone takes beautiful pictures. There are so many settings and things you can personalize. I love the themes. I have always had iphones in the past and I'm so happy I decided to switch to Samsung. I love this phone.

I absolutely LOVE this phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using my Samsung Galaxy S26 for a little while now and it’s honestly a 10/10 for me. Everything feels super fast and smooth, and I don’t have to think about it—it just works. Battery life has been solid too, which I definitely notice since I’m on it a lot.
The camera's easily my favorite part. I’m actually using it right now to shoot a short horror film called "Anxiety Falls", and it’s kind of wild how good it looks. The low-light shots come out super clean, and the stabilization makes everything look way more professional than I expected from a phone. I’ve been able to get some really creepy shots without needing extra gear.
Galaxy AI has been way more useful than I thought it would be. It helps clean up photos, adjust lighting, and just makes editing quicker overall. It doesn’t feel like a gimmick—it actually saves me time.
Overall, I’m really happy with it. It just makes everything easier, whether I’m filming or just using it day to day.

Love my phone
on May 16, 2026
Posted by: Stacey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this phone, it has a lot of nice futures that come with it as well but then again I went from an android to a samsung. It's been awhile since I last owned a samsung but I'll tell you it's so freaking awesome and I love how far samsung has came along as well. I love that the phone Is not big and I can't wait to use my camera on my runs now to post video's as well. The camera is such a huge upgrade and the quality of it is so clear, love that the video stay in place if you are running and how easy you can delete and fix your pictures with just circling what to correct. There is so much that comes with the device and I am still learning about it but so far I'm in love and one more thing the battery life is amazing as well! And the AI was so easy to use as well and understood what I was asking the first time, I didn't have to continually repeat myself, I use AI for a lot these days so bixby was so helpful as well. I have a feeling bixby and I are going to have a lot of conversations in the future as well lol. I'm so glad to have a samsung again that is very reliable for my everyday on the go life!
