Not much improvement
on April 23, 2026
Posted by: Noname
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to s22 not much big improvements. Camerica was a bit better. When i saw only the ultra would have privacy protector I was disappointed & don't like how it has too many samung apps as some can't be uninstalled like Avatar sticker, Galaxy avatar, Bixby. Also it installed Clouadapp without my permission with useless games so I wasted time deleting them. Only big improvements I saw from s22 is longer battery, Magsafe compatible, having ai ask unknown# who's calling & feature to hear voice of videos more clearer when online

S26 Upgrade
on March 28, 2026
Posted by: ValuedCustomer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Galaxy S22 to the new S26, and the difference has been noticeable right away. The performance is faster and smoother across the board, whether I’m switching between apps, streaming, or handling work tasks throughout the day.
The battery life is a big improvement for me. With the S22 I was often watching the charge by late afternoon, but the S26 easily gets me through a full day with room to spare.
Galaxy AI has been a standout feature. I’ve found it genuinely useful for things like summarizing content, helping draft messages, and improving photos. It feels practical, not gimmicky, and fits naturally into how I use the phone.
The display is sharp and bright, and the camera quality continues to impress, especially in lower light. Overall, this feels like a solid, worthwhile upgrade that improves everyday use in a meaningful way.

Surprisingly Satisfied w/my s26
on April 20, 2026
Posted by: Meechyluvss26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE for a while now, and it’s honestly a powerhouse. The screen is gorgeous for streaming, but my favorite part is how well it integrates with Gemini. Having that AI right there makes it so easy to brainstorm song lyrics or organize my day on the fly. Plus, with the 45W fast charging, I’m never stuck waiting around for a boost. It’s a solid, reliable phone that actually feels smart.

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.
