A great phone made even better
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: HeyItsMeandmyphone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24 and the first thing I noticed, which I love, is how the base model S26 is bigger in size, and my battery life is much better. I always stick with Samsung because I love their AMOLED displays, fingerprint unlock, powerful processors, excellent cameras and camera processing, and cool software features like Samsung DeX. One powerful feature that people don't take advantage of is routines. With routines you can automate tasks like turning on Wi-Fi and launching apps.
Regarding the Galaxy AI features, my favorite is the photo assist. I sometimes use my phone to scan documents and being able to hide shadows and such to make it look like a proper scan is extremely helpful. It's also helpful for regular pictures, such as removing strangers out of pictures.
The Galaxy AI Now Nudge is pretty cool, that it suggests relevant info like calendar and maps, for example when texting.
Another useful feature is the call screening. Galaxy AI can answer the call and determine if it's spam.
I've been using the Now Brief. It's a nice summary of all the important stuff like calendar, weather, and health stuff like sleep and steps. When you customize it, it's really useful and like having a personal assistant.
I discovered the audio eraser. It's cool that it can remove unwanted background noise from videos like from YouTube.
To summarize, my new phone is better in ways I hadn't considered; it would be hard to go back to not having Galaxy AI features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI works very well and honestly, the phone works perfectly other than the speed times on some apps

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At 1st I almost felt like I was downgrading because it's smaller than my 24 Ultra but now I'm hooked!! I've had it for a week and have yet to discover all of Galaxy AI options. I am looking so forward to learning even more about this device!!

So Far So Good.
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Evetsmac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good item. Switching information from the old phone was a breeze. Everything but one outdated app transferred. Item charged quickly and lasted longer than the old one. It's amazing how important these things have become in our lives. Not just pictures but calendars and reminders as well as other apps that make our lives better. Smart apps and health trackers. How did we live without them. They have replaced computers in many ways.
