Camera is great for every day photographs.
Performance wise there hasnt been any concerns.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this phone because of its NFC capability to connect with my new BYD car and now learn that it isn't compatible so i can't use nfc wireless key to unlock my car or have wireless charging. I am super annoyed!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from Samsung New ZealandBy Samsung NZ, June 10, 2026
Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Galaxy S26. We understand how disappointing it can be when a feature you purchased the device for does not work as expected with your vehicle. NFC functionality on Galaxy devices can be used for a range of applications; however, compatibility with digital car key features is determined by the vehicle manufacturer and may vary between models, software versions, and regions.
Whilst we're unsure what set up process you went through, it's worth noting that some users have reported success setting up their digital car key through Samsung Wallet, rather than other wallet or key management applications.
If you would like further assistance exploring available options, our support team may be able to help. https://www.samsung.com/nz/support/contact/

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera is great and the battery easily gets me through the day. I also like the smaller size of the phone as most good phones these days are very large. So it is nice to have a good quality phone that is smaller. Would recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!
