Samsung phones are still the best!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: thenorthside
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Moving eSIMs -- Super easy. I was nervous at first because the specs didn't list eSIMs, or if they did it was 1 eSIM and 1 physical SIM. For the record, at least of U.S. phones, they both can be used as eSIMs. I use two different carriers on my unlocked phone and it worked great!
Galaxy AI -- It just keeps getting better and better each year. Galaxy AI is super easy to use. My most common uses are for identifying plants and bugs, I do a lot of gardening and landscaping. The second is for doing phone functions hands-free such as starting/stopping whatever I'm listening to, calling/texting, setting timers, etc.
Form factor -- I traded my S24 Ultra for the regular S26. It's so wonderful, my phone now fits in my pockets, I can do everything one-handed, and it doesn't feel like I've been holding up a brick after holding it for an extended period.
My main gripe is that I wish Samsung would consider making a small form-factor phone, even if it's thicker, WITHOUT making it feel like a compromise. That means including all the nice Ultra cameras, RAM, and storage.
Second gripe is the camera positioning. They are on the side of the phone. This causes a few issues -- 1) It does not lay flat on a table, it wobbles a lot. 2) It's difficult to properly frame taking photos of documents, or to get a level shot of anything.

Still, the customizability, especially with adding Good Lock is what I love about these phones.

Excellent phone
on March 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 represents a remarkable step forward in smartphone innovation, refinement, and everyday usability. Samsung has consistently been one of the leaders in the Android ecosystem, and with the S26 they have once again demonstrated why the Galaxy S series remains one of the most respected smartphone lineups in the world. The device blends cutting-edge technology, thoughtful design, powerful performance, and practical features that genuinely improve the user experience. From the moment you hold the Galaxy S26 in your hand to the moment you start using its many capabilities, it becomes clear that this phone was built with both power users and everyday consumers in mind.
One of the first things that stands out about the Galaxy S26 is its premium design and build quality. Samsung has refined the look of the Galaxy series over many generations, and the S26 feels like the culmination of that design evolution. The phone has a sleek, modern aesthetic with ultra-thin bezels that maximize screen real estate while maintaining a comfortable grip. The materials feel luxurious yet durable, typically combining a reinforced aluminum frame with the latest generation of Gorilla Glass for protection. The balance of the phone is excellent, making it feel sturdy without being overly heavy.

S26: This Again....
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: JayTee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very similar to the s25 I used as a trade-in. Hardware wise, it's the same basic camera. The phone doesn't sit flush on a flat surface--very wobbly with the protruding camera bump. Otherwise, not that much has changed. Horizontal lock on videos is nice. Still no Qi2 magnets on the phone. Galaxy AI features are so, so.... Microphone quality is good. Speakers are clear and balanced. Remain disappointed in no memory expansion slot on flagship phones; a feature that has been sorely missed since the S10! Love the fact that it still has DeX! Overall, it's very nice, but nothing particularly noteworthy. Just my 2¢.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After one full day of using my S26, I love it, but I am no where near understanding all of its features. I downsized from a S24+ and am much more comfortable with the lightweight S26. Its responsiveness is lightning fast. It has been fun to play with photos with Galaxy AI, but I look forward to integrating Galaxy AI into my daily life in a more functional way in the future.
