Initial impressions of the S26+ smartphone

User Experience and Customization
User Experience and Customization
So far the S26+ has been a decent upgrade to my prior OnePlus 9 Pro. I've particularly liked the customization functionality of GoodLock as I always enjoy tweaking my phone to be more mine though. That aside it feels smooth and overall a decent phone.
I haven't used the Galaxy AI features much so far but they do look interesting.
The notification summaries and prioritizing seems decent. The rest just don't fall into my daily usage so far but I've only had the phone for a day.

Battery Performance and Charging
Battery Performance and Charging
Battery usage has been pretty good. The wireless charging is a lot slower than my prior phone but it also is slower to go down as well which does seem an improvement overall.

Upgraded 4 year old phone- loveeee!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: LynaeLove
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do love my new phone very much, upgraded from S22 so this is bigger and love the rose gold color. My only dislike is that I didn't get the privacy display on my S26 plus. I am excited to use and try out the Galaxy AI and create new content for my family's fun.

Incremental Upgrade, but Still a Great Phone
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: TominMichigan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from an s24+, so it was not a great leap in technology; honestly, other that the faster speed, I don't notice a different. Even my s24+ cases and screen protectors fit the s26+.
But it's definitely fast, and since the battery is 2 years newer it should last me quite a while longer. The dark purple model is nice and subtle shading.
I've turned every Galaxy AI feature - I've come to rely on assistants to check up and make sure I'm communicating clearly.

Slowly learning differences with my old S21
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: NoloCool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generally speaking is very similar to my old S21. The differences are very subtle and only time Will Allow Me to judge the improvements on this phone. So far I can definitely say that charging it is way faster than my old S21. One of the reasons I bought this new phone was thinking that in my car when the phone was in the wireless charger and I was using Waze it would not get as hot as the S21. This has been a disappointment as charging the phone on the wireless charger of my Hyundai and using Waze at the same time hits the phone to a level that would eventually, as it happened on my old s21, stop working. Another reason I bought this phone is for the better photo capabilities. I have not been able to test this but I'm planning a long trip in the near future where I'm going to take tons of photos and then I would be able to really experience the improvements provided by this phone. I love the size which is a little bit larger than my S21 and perfect fit for my pockets so another Plus for this phone. Unfortunately have even though it has a much better battery and also larger it is still not enough. For me to make sure the battery last the whole 16 hours in a day I have to be careful so it has bigger battery but it uses more battery so no improvement on that area. I have been a Samsung Galaxy faithful customer for the last 15 years started with a Note,and continue with the next Note which was the famous one that used to explode and I mine was working beautifully.
