OK Phone - Underwhelming Battery Life
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: MountainMan55
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone as an update for my Samsung s23 Ultra 5G. The s23 was having poor battery life and it was time, I felt, to upgrade. I will say that the new phone performs well but not really anything less than I expected. It's not startlingly faster nor slower than my prior s23. I have not really done a whole lot with the Galaxy AI at this point but I will give it a try in the near future. My biggest concern thus far is the poor battery life . I really do not use the phone a lot during the course of a day and my battery is about dead by the end of each day. I have all the battery saving options turned on., so sadly, this isn't really a whole lot better than the s23 I traded in and that had a three year old battery. But I guess I will say the phone is okay but not great.

What are the best phones Samsung has
on March 27, 2026
Posted by: Stephen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus (released March 11, 2026) is the quintessential "middle child" of the S26 lineup. It offers a larger canvas than the base S26 without the massive footprint or the wallet-stinging price of the Ultra.
If you’re coming from an older model (like the S21 or S22), this is a massive jump in power and screen quality. However, if you have a recent flagship, the upgrades here are more about refinement and AI than a total hardware overhaul.
The Highlights
The Display: It features a gorgeous 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. It’s sharp, incredibly bright (peaking at 2,600 nits), and supports a 1–120Hz variable refresh rate, which makes scrolling feel like butter while saving battery on static pages.
Performance: Under the hood is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (in the US). It’s an absolute powerhouse for multitasking and handles intensive tasks—like heavy video editing or gaming—without the overheating issues seen in older generations, thanks to a larger vapor chamber.
Galaxy AI: Samsung has leaned heavily into AI this year. Features like Horizon Lock for video (which keeps the horizon level even if you rotate the phone 360°) and Now Brief (an AI-driven daily summary on your lock screen) are genuinely useful additions.
Battery & Charging: The 4,900mAh battery easily lasts a full day of heavy use. It supports 45W wired charging, which can get you to nearly 70% in about 30 minutes.

Very happy with my new Samsung Galaxy!!!

Posted by: Ct1976
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am probably on my 7th Samsung Galaxy phone. They keep getting better. Battery life is excellent. Seamless Galaxy AI integration. I am loving the AI camera features and having a lot of productive fun with it. I have always loved how the phones just work from turning them on and that continues to be the case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy using my device by looking up things for gardening and some crafts and spices that I enjoy. Looking at YouTube videos to keep me occupied. So I've been with this model for years, and I've had no problems, so I am 100% satisfied with my phone.Thank you and god bless.
