on June 7, 2026
Posted by: Witherbladez
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using my Samsung device primarily for work and school, and it has completely changed my daily routine. It handles multitasking effortlessly, making it incredibly easy to switch between documents, emails, and video calls. A standout feature for me has been Galaxy AI, which makes organizing my notes and summarizing text so much faster. The battery easily lasts through a full day of heavy use, and the display is crisp and bright. It's a reliable and powerful tool that I highly recommend to anyone needing a productive device.

SHOW ME THE MONEY
on June 9, 2026
Posted by: Keeppushin100
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the new version. I had an S10 in the past, the only thing I despise about the phone is the way im bombarded with ads even in apps that shouldn't be ad approved. So at this point, I KNOW Samsung is getting paid and I need a piece of that ASAP!!! LOL NOW SHOW ME THE MONEY HONEY!!!!

Does literally everything well
on June 11, 2026
Posted by: ChungusAmongus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having been an android adopter from the very start, new iterations of the software and devices have always gotten me excited. A purest, I've tended toward those devices whose software was most like vanilla android, often avoiding the samsung offering until my previous device the s22, when I needed something I knew by reputation would be reliable and well supported with features, updates, and the robust samsung ecosystem. When it was time to upgrade, I had been convinced and I knew exactly what to do.
The samsung ID, biometrics, password vault, and general phone swap readiness made transferring my old device a breeze. The phone's snappy processor and graphics unit make every action feel smooth and seemeless while the storage is never at risk of filling due to cloud backups of data and tunable storage related settings including cleaning, etc.
Media wise, the wifi 7 antenna makes streaming video and playing games on this brilliant screen consistent, buffer free, sharp, and color accurate with up to 1440p60 hdr content! Games are great too, with fast downloads, and up to 120 fps.
The updated Galaxy AI adds a whole new aspect of convenience with bixby setting alarms, helping me with recipes and organizing my day to day tasks with simplicity. And all this on a single charge per day with unrivaled batter life.
To be honest there are so many features im still learning how to improve my experience with things getting faster and easier as I go along. 10/10 Galaxy for the win.

Product has real features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why I'm Actually Excited About the Galaxy S26
Look, I've had phones that promise the world and deliver... meh. But the S26's Galaxy AI actually does stuff I care about.
Real talk on what stands out:
Live Translate is a game-changer. My cousin in Italy calls, we just... talk. No awkward pauses, no "wait, what did you say?" It just works.
Circle to Search? I see something random on Instagram, circle it, done. No typing "blue jacket thing from that show" and hoping for the best.
Photo editing that doesn't make me want to throw my phone. Remove photobombers, move stuff around, fix lighting—without needing a design degree.
The camera just gets it. Dark restaurant? Moving kid? It handles the messy stuff so I don't have to think about settings.

It's the first phone where the AI features feel like they were made for actual humans, not just demo videos.

The storage space!!
on May 11, 2026
Posted by: ILovesU
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the storage space so much, about 250 GB of storage I believe, so much more that most devices and it's super useful of course! Up to you and what you're looking for, storage space for images, videos, memories, etc.
My Galaxy AI is awesome! So much to do and very helpful especially in everyday life. It helps me plan, keep track, study, move & exercise, it keeps me accountable overall.
A great size and light weight phone, perfect for moving around. Genuinely awesome cameras for pictures, etc. Especially if you like to take pictures all hours of the day, your nightlife pictures get a huge upgrade with the quality, and brightness. The cameras are a bit big but I don't care about it too much.. if you'd like a slim phone, maybe this isn't for you though.

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.

Feels Dated
on May 27, 2026
Posted by: EmSage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although, it's been awhile since using Samsung phones in my opinion it's not really user friendly and feels cryptic. I got this phone for my business and I cannot seem to actually get comfortable with using it besides for calls and backup. It's not very comfortable to use
