Decent upgrade from S22
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: KyleBL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cons: Functionality, it's identical to my S22 that served me well for four years.
Camera hardware hasn't effectively changed, so no true upgrade there. Worst of all, however, is that they're getting rid of samsung messages. Installing it with ADB after pulling the APK from my S22 does work, but it gives you no option other than Google messages, so you really don't have a choice but to give them all of your message data as soon as you activate your phone.
Pros:
The battery life is a night and day difference. I also like how it is capable of 6Ghz wifi. It's slightly bigger and feels better in the hand to me. I don't regret upgrading at all. I don't use Galaxy AI enough to have anything negative to say, but it's easy enough to use if that's your thing.

Galaxy ai next level 👌🏼
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Love2samsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t expect a phone to change how I use my day, but my Samsung device with Galaxy AI genuinely has. Streaming is crisp, gaming is smooth, and everything just works fast. Galaxy AI rewrites texts on the fly, summarizes what I don’t have time to read, and turns my photos into something actually worth keeping. I’m outdoors a lot, and the battery easily lasts all day. It feels less like a phone and more like a smart assistant that keeps up with my life. Samsung didn’t just add Galaxy AI, they made the entire experience smarter, faster, and way more useful.

Great upgrade from her S21
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Jenae1057
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as an upgrade for an S21 and it is a big improvement. Fantastic battery life and AI features make things just a little bit easier.
The phone is fast and transfer was a breeze. Good size for smaller hands that the plus and ultra make uncomfortable.
New software with air drop capabilities is a big win and hopefully future models will continue the trend of integration with all devices.

Always Samsung
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: OmniKr
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Samsung customer since my first phone and probably will be all my life. I very much like your products and all my devices are Samsung. One thing that I noticed with my last phone (Samsung S26 Galaxy AI) is that when it's charging the screen acts up. Hopefully this can be fixed with the next update. Keep up the great work you guys are doing. THANK YOU.
