Customer Reviews for Samsung - Galaxy A26 128GB Carrier Unlocked 50MP Triple Camera - Black
Posted by: Mike S
from Granbury, TX
Expertise:Intermediate
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this A26 to replace my S10e. I am impressed that the "A" series phone does about everything my S model did, and more. I stayed with Samsung because I love the "Smart Switch" where I could transfer all of my apps and files from my old phone via bluetooth. It was seamless. When the transfer was completed, my new phone arranged the icons exactly like they were on my old phone so I didn't have trouble finding anything. Battery life is great on this phone. I would buy it again. Also, I like knowing it will get updates for the next 6 years since I generally keep my phone as long as it is working properly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Great phone for great price.
on December 6, 2025
Posted by: Grego2025
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone itself is great. The camera is amazing. The galaxy ai can be a bit intrusive at times but overall a nice feature. My only issue was the durability of the phone. The flat sides make the probability of damage higher as the metal bends easier, which is exactly what happened to mine a week after buying it. The screen broke and the side metal bent in causing the screen to go black entirely.

Not My Best Phone Ever
on December 6, 2025
Posted by: Annacronism
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Galaxy A26 5G phone is not the best one that I have owned. It is sometimes slow about loading searches. It is also slow when opening some of its natuve apps and features. It also gets hot for no apparent reason, even when it's not being used. I am not very satisfied with its performance in general. My previous Android phone was a much better model than this one. I don't care about, nor use Galaxy AI, or any AI for that matter.

Samsung Galaxy A26
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: RusMom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a Samgsung Galaxy A26 that one would heat up while charging and would die really fast. I went in to trade it for a new one. It has been giving me crab as well more then the first one actually. I could be playing a game and the drop down menu would drop down without me swiping. It always tells me the System UI failed and then asks to wait or close program. This one also does not have a long battery Iife. I am going to try a trade it in for something else.
