OK Phone - Underwhelming Battery Life
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: MountainMan55
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone as an update for my Samsung s23 Ultra 5G. The s23 was having poor battery life and it was time, I felt, to upgrade. I will say that the new phone performs well but not really anything less than I expected. It's not startlingly faster nor slower than my prior s23. I have not really done a whole lot with the Galaxy AI at this point but I will give it a try in the near future. My biggest concern thus far is the poor battery life . I really do not use the phone a lot during the course of a day and my battery is about dead by the end of each day. I have all the battery saving options turned on., so sadly, this isn't really a whole lot better than the s23 I traded in and that had a three year old battery. But I guess I will say the phone is okay but not great.

Great Upgrade!
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Bananatreedino357
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received my S26+ and coming from the S21 Ultra this was a nice change! Nice rounded egdes, lightweight phone and beautiful screen. I started exploring the Galaxy AI feature on my pictures and it was so easy to use! The erasing feature, blur feature and identifying feature! I do not regret my decision on this purchase and if you've been holding on to an older phone like I have then I recommend getting the S26 series! I look forward to seeing what Samsung features come out in the future!

Minimal Upgrades, Maximum Satisfaction
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing to do is: try to turn off all Galaxy Ai, most people don't it and even more people hate it. Coming from the s24+, nothing changed, it's the same phone. If you are buying a Samsung, you know what you are getting.

Exceptional Performance and Intuitive Galaxy AI
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Rawbert448
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26+ has quickly become my go-to device for both professional tasks and personal entertainment. The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is stunningly bright, making it perfect for streaming movies or watching sports even when I am outdoors. The QHD+ resolution provides incredible clarity that makes a noticeable difference during long gaming sessions.
Mobile gaming on this device is a top-tier experience. The high refresh rate and upgraded cooling system allow me to play demanding titles at maximum settings for hours without the phone overheating or dropping frames. The touch responsiveness is surgical, which is vital for competitive play.
The camera system is equally impressive for professional-level photography. The high-resolution sensors capture immense detail and accurate colors even in challenging lighting. I have found Galaxy AI to be a significant addition to my photography routine; the Photo Assist tools allow me to remove distracting objects or remaster older shots with ease. Note Assist is also a lifesaver for school and work, quickly summarizing long documents and meetings.
For someone who balances a busy schedule, the live translation and smarter search capabilities have made navigating information much more efficient. The battery life is equally impressive, easily lasting through a full day of heavy use, from morning emails to late-night gaming. This device is a complete package for anyone looking for a smartphone, that is actually smart.
