S26 brief review
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: phonereviewer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a fan of ai in general, didn't buy the phone because of the galaxy ai features. Not having qi 2 magnets is a huge misstep. Phone is fine otherwise.

Going from the A Series to the S Series
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: sinpunk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always owned the A Series version but I'm really interested in seeing what the S 26 can do. I'm not all that tech savvy but I've taken pictures and videos at concerts with my A 53, so I'm excited to see what the S 26 and with the AI I'll see what I can do with the pictures. So Monday will be a good test to see what I can do on the S 26 the day after the concert.

Samsung phones are still the best!
on March 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Moving eSIMs -- Super easy. I was nervous at first because the specs didn't list eSIMs, or if they did it was 1 eSIM and 1 physical SIM. For the record, at least of U.S. phones, they both can be used as eSIMs. I use two different carriers on my unlocked phone and it worked great!
Galaxy AI -- It just keeps getting better and better each year. Galaxy AI is super easy to use. My most common uses are for identifying plants and bugs, I do a lot of gardening and landscaping. The second is for doing phone functions hands-free such as starting/stopping whatever I'm listening to, calling/texting, setting timers, etc.
Form factor -- I traded my S24 Ultra for the regular S26. It's so wonderful, my phone now fits in my pockets, I can do everything one-handed, and it doesn't feel like I've been holding up a brick after holding it for an extended period.
My main gripe is that I wish Samsung would consider making a small form-factor phone, even if it's thicker, WITHOUT making it feel like a compromise. That means including all the nice Ultra cameras, RAM, and storage.
Second gripe is the camera positioning. They are on the side of the phone. This causes a few issues -- 1) It does not lay flat on a table, it wobbles a lot. 2) It's difficult to properly frame taking photos of documents, or to get a level shot of anything.

Still, the customizability, especially with adding Good Lock is what I love about these phones.

2 days loving it so far
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: PhoneHo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The AI for pictures is super fun and awesome. The battery is WAYYYYYYYY better than expected. I unplug it from the charger at 430am and its now 630 and I still have 69 percent. Yesterday (unplugged at 630am) I was on my phone alot and I still had 50 at 9pm. I am huge on the battery more than anything. I email, text, TikTok and fb on my phone and I hate running out of battery. I went from the 24 ultra to the regular 26. Got tired of carrying a huge phone. Love it for certain things. But I have small fat hands and wanted the small one again. I reserved ahead of time and when I ordered I didn't get my 30 off credit. That's the only down fall. I will update this review in a few weeks after i have used it for a time.

So far so good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far enjoying the phone, feels great in my hand camera is great and very easy to use. Though I felt like the transfer from old phone s23 to s26 wasn't as good this time and took more time to re-download and login to apps

This product has great camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with my phone purchase. Images are more "true to tone", less gray, brighter and warmer compared to previous generations. Thanks to the integration of AI, photos have become more professional without the need for complex settings.
