[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size of this phone!! I have both the Ultra and base model. I am now wondering if I should just buy the smaller phone in the future :D! I like many do not use the S-Pen lol.. I also do not really watch movies on here.. yeah, I'll watch YouTube videos on here but I don't need a big screen for that bc the base model S26 screen is big enough. I love how snug it fits in one hand... yeah I know about one handed mode on the Ultra lol but still... this phone weighs less and fits just right.
I love the Galaxy AI on this... especially within the Samsung Keyboard which has really elevated my typing experience. I use this all the time along with Gboard <3. I love the priority notifications as well.. i get a ton of notifications at work but this helps me see the more important apps easier.
This phone pairs well with the Samsung Watch 8. I cannot live without this phone/watch pair... it makes life more seamless.
Most of my friends have the other competitors phone and let me tell you... most of them are always admiring the features and customization options that Samsung offers.

As a LOYAL Samsung user, I HATE this phone!

I recently switched from an S24 to S26 and have had every Galaxy phone ever made. Half the time I don't get notifications and changing the app notifications is NEARLY impossible! Going back to Xfinity and either going back to my old phone or going to try the S25. Cannot run a business with a phone where notifications don't work which includes - voicemail, texts, and notifications from apps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 is one of the most well-rounded smartphones available today. Samsung has combined premium design, top-tier performance, and innovative Galaxy AI features into a device that feels smarter and more useful than ever. The phone is fast, responsive, and handles everything from multitasking to gaming with ease.
One of the biggest highlights is Galaxy AI, which enhances everyday tasks through intelligent writing assistance, real-time translation, advanced photo editing, and productivity tools that genuinely save time. These features feel practical rather than gimmicky and help the S26 stand out from the competition.
The camera system continues to impress with sharp, detailed photos, excellent low-light performance, and vibrant colors. Galaxy AI also helps improve images by removing distractions, enhancing details, and simplifying edits with just a few taps. Video quality is equally impressive, making the S26 a great choice for content creators and casual users alike.
Battery life is strong enough to last a full day of heavy use, while fast charging minimizes downtime. The bright, smooth display delivers an outstanding viewing experience whether you're watching videos, scrolling social media, or playing games.
Samsung's long-term software support and security updates add even more value, ensuring the device remains relevant for years to come. Overall, the Galaxy S26 delivers flagship performance, premium features, and meaningful AI enhancements that make it

Just as good as...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not my first samsung galaxy telephone. I appreciate that every time I get a new phone.Not much has changed with the basic style and design. I understand that the electronics behind the scene are all new.And I appreciate your work, but as a consumer approaching retirement age, I like the fact that the phone works in a manner of which I am familiar.
