Great phone
on June 9, 2026
Posted by: Aw1234
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from S22 Ultra. S26 is a great phone in comparison! This time I went not with ultra but with the base model. I do appreciate the lightness and relatively smaller screen. It's also snappier and have newer features like more in Galaxy AI. I was using a Pixel phone prior to that. I would suggest all my pixel folks to give Samsung a try!

Review of Galaxy s26
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: DancingHeart
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased Galaxy A26 because my Galaxy S20 had maxed out on storage memory, although I also had a SD card installed. The S20 wouldn't take photos anymore nor download any apps, therefore I rushed to purchase a new phone before I lost all my photos and/or data. I was not aware of the noticeable differences between A26 versions. Having vision challenges, the A26 is much smaller and difficult to read. In addition, although I do not use the phone to make calls or text, (because I don't like this phone),
the battery does not keep a charge. Worst yet, it takes an abnormally long time to reach 100% charge regardless if it's 35% or 55% battery level. What's amazing is that this is a problem even using a super fast charger . It takes longer to reach 100% battery level than even my old S20+. The plain A26 is very difficult to type on since its small. The camera does not take sharp pictures like other models. Last, it is disturbing that all promotions and/or accessories highly promote all the other A26 models, but not the plain A26. I strongly regret buying this phone but now have to pay it off.

Finally, the upgrade iv been waiting for
on March 6, 2026
Posted by: Fletchtech92
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been holding onto my Galaxy S22 for years, and while I loved the size, the battery anxiety was real. Switching to the S26 feels like a breath of fresh air.
The most immediate difference is the efficiency. Where my S22 would be begging for a charger by 4:00 PM, the S26 still has plenty of juice left when I'm headed to bed. It also stays remarkably cool; I haven't noticed any of the "pocket warming" issues I had with the older model during video calls or gaming.
Key Improvements I Noticed:
Display: The jump in peak brightness is huge. I can actually see my navigation maps in direct sunlight now.
Speed: Everything feels instantaneous. The 8GB/12GB RAM (depending on your model) makes multitasking feel fluid compared to the slight stutters I was starting to see on my old phone.
Cameras: The low-light performance is on another level. The "Nightography" has actually caught up to the hype—photos are sharp without looking artificial.
Verdict:
If you’re still rocking an S22 and wondering if it’s time to move on, do it. This feels like the "finished version" of what the S22 was trying to be. It’s faster, lasts longer, and the Galaxy AI features actually feel useful for daily photo editing.

Love the S26
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Maroonedsia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have loved my Galaxy phones for almost a decade. The new S26 with the Galaxy AI is yet the best in line.
I've stuck to the smallest size for easier handling, but the tri fold may change my style!
