New S26 phone
on April 17, 2026
Posted by: Chfletch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy to be back in the Galaxy. After many years owning Galaxy phones, about 2 years ago, I strayed to a non Samsung phone, what a mistake. The S26 was the easiest to set up and transfer to date. Haven’t explored the AI yet, looking forward to photo editing.

Love this phone
on April 18, 2026
Posted by: SquirrelMom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Galaxy S26! I am so glad that I switched from an I-phone to this. At first, I was very skeptical but once it was in my hand I loved it! In my car I am able to enjoy music via voice commands. This Galaxy S26 features Galaxy AI which include Gemini-powered screen automation for app tasks, photo editing, and contest-aware suggestion.

Top-notch in every way
on April 19, 2026
Posted by: COgirl
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tend to keep phones until they are no longer functional and sure enough, a broken screen on my previous phone sent me looking for a replacement. I have been happily using Samsung Galaxys for many years now, yet not have been as stellar (pun intended) as the S26! It is quick to respond and slow to lose a charge. The screen quality is top-notch with incredible resolution even in the sunshine. The cameras put my previous model to shame: wow, they are great! The Galaxy AI features are crazy adaptive and incredibly quick. The phone continues to pair beautifully with my car system and even has updated features to create more of an intuitive experience--including Galaxy AI feeling conversational with voice commands. Overall, this is the best phone I have had yet. I am one pleased customer and while I wish I hadn't had the stress of a broken phone leading me to this one, it was worth it in the end for sure!

Everything about the phone is fantastic
on April 20, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having to teach my granny about AI came easy with using the S26. The phone did all the work so I really didn't have to do much.

S26 Review
on April 20, 2026
Posted by: MinxxP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 looks like a polished, small flagship rather than a dramatic reinvention. Reviews consistently praise its design, display, speed, software support, and battery life, while the main complaints are familiar cameras, limited upgrades over last year, and value concerns. �
Design and feel
Samsung has kept the S26 compact and premium, with a refined build that reviewers describe as comfortable to hold and use. The phone’s size is one of its biggest selling points, especially for people who want a high-end device that does not feel oversized. �
The design changes are subtle, not flashy. That makes it feel familiar, but also means it does not stand out as a major leap over the previous generation. �
Display
The screen is one of the strongest parts of the phone. Reviewers describe it as excellent, with the slightly larger 6.3-inch panel giving the compact model a bit more room without losing its pocketable feel. �
In practice, this should mean a bright, sharp, and fluid flagship display that is well suited for media, gaming, and everyday scrolling. Samsung’s display tuning remains a major advantage here. �
Performance
Performance is a clear strength, with reviews saying the phone feels fast, smooth, and responsive in daily use. The Exynos 2600 is described as handling demanding tasks, AI features, and video editing without trouble. �
Gaming also appears strong, with one review noting meaningful gains in sustained speed after throttling. That suggests the S26 is not just

Why take the laptop?
on April 20, 2026
Posted by: Moneypenny
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. So with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and a connected screen, Dex mode makes carrying my laptop seem like extra work. Multi-tasking on the go, playing music, data or no, this little pocket assistant makes my international work life easier. I don't use the galaxy AI often, but that's because the phone does what I need without any extras.
