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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are incredible devices; in my day-to-day life, I use them to play music and take photos—which, moreover, are of great quality thanks to their cameras, which are the best.
I use it to download my gaming and streaming apps. I really enjoy the high image quality that these devices offer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have found the phone to be exactly what I need right now. Easy to use functionality and quality is good. Tough phone as well with case and waterproofing.
Dropped mine in a pool fora while took it out and used right away. Dried out in no time. Very impressed.

Good phone but hard to fully understand it if you old an grew up with land lines, my biggest thing is when my phone starts doing weird stuff need to put up the red lite to let me know it's in control an not Simone else, it's freaky to me for real
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone daily and several times. I loved my samsung s 24 fe. But this samsung s 26+ is amazing! The editing of pictures alone is enough for me.
Not to mention the galaxy AI features. Mind blowing!
