Software is a step backwards, phone is too large
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: cvs26review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The software in this new phone is a step back compared to my previous device (z flip 5). It lost customization options I made use of previously, such as the ability to hide the battery charge percentage from the status bar, while becoming significantly more pushy with "Galaxy AI". I do not want to use these silly AI features, stop asking. I don't care how much money Samsung has wasted chasing this market trend, I don't want my product to be made actively-worse to justify their bad investments. The number of pre-installed apps I do not want also increased, as did the count of advertisements disguised as push notifications.
Additionally, the phone is too large. The base-model S series was the last premium-quality phone that could reasonably be called "small" on the market (despite still being about 20% larger than I'd like), and this entry (the S26) increased the size. Either make it smaller again or, ideally, release a "Mini" variant. The market for such phones isn't large, but it's completely ignored by every other smartphone maker, so would be captive to Samsung. Regardless, the size increase is unappreciated.

Pretty nice
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: SamsungCust
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone to manage my busy household schedule, bills, & kids. So being linked to the family thru the apps is nice. Recently upgrase from an S21 to S26. Most of the upgrades are premium. AI helps me edit photo, manage my emails, and the rest of my digital network.
There are a few glitches that could be improved on. But mostly I'm happy with the new features and options

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 is a great phone for individuals who want an advanced phone with a small footprint. The AI features are a real plus. The speakers produce adequate sound during phone calls and video streaming.
