[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome phone Samsung Galaxy S26. Fast, battery lasts longer and is super sleek. Love Samsung phones. GALAXY AI is awesome and works perfectly without any issues. Thank you Samsung!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to upgrade from the S21 to the S26! It is significantly faster and love thecm AI features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded my phone from the 24 to the 26 and can definitely feel howuch faster and responsive it is. I can also appreciate the screens size. Would recommend to anyone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has an ai known as Bixby that acts as your own assistant and it makes it much easier to set alarms, reminder, notes, etc. Using the phone is fairly simple and you even get a welcoming tutorial on what features you have/ what they do. The customization is awesome and I love being able to make my phone super cute :3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 is a very functional and capable phone, but aside from that it appears to be pretty basic and alot like last years S25. The Galaxy AI is a nice addition but using it is a headache. Doesn't seem to be capable of much more than Googles Gemini. The Perplexity thing (browser) could be nice if it actually merged smoothly. It's counterpart (Comet) seems extremely basic and "Hey Plex" never worked. One out of 10 I'd give the device a 8.
So i purchased the base model s26 and let me tell you that the image quality is poor and blurry , the colors are terrible , the colors of video reels on facebook and youtube have a yellow/greenish hue tint. Too much brightness and contrast , RBG does nothing , i upgraded from a galaxy s20 5g and i must say it still has a better display/colors than the s26. I've been a galaxy phone type guy for a while because i don't like iphones but the s26 is really turning me off.

Hello Steve, we appreciate you taking time out of your day to share your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S26 with us. We completely understand how disappointing it can be when your device is not operating as intended or expected. If you are using the new privacy display the Maximum Privacy protection mode is designed to enhance privacy effects more than the standard Privacy mode. In this mode, pixel operation control is used to strengthen privacy effects, which may cause slight color changes or a blurry appearance on the screen. We have provided a link to the complete manual to help you adjust the display settings to best align to your preferences, including the privacy display. We have also shared a link to the Samsung Support Team to assist you further if you have questions about your device.
