[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone is sleek, nice, and lightweight. Camera is great quality as always but wish their were more customizable options.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy 26+ is an upgrade that I needed after holding on to my previous phone for years. It has a sleek design and smooth appeal. The Galaxy AI features are something like I need to play around with a little more. I see the option for the AI Call assist to screen calls is available. But I need to test it out at some point. Streaming and Zoom calls has run well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 as my daily powerhouse, and honestly, it’s a game-changer. The Galaxy AI is a standout feature—whether I’m streaming a live coding session, gaming, or multitasking between apps, it anticipates my needs and keeps everything smooth. As someone who codes, games, and streams simultaneously, I can’t overstate how valuable that speed and efficiency is. Whether I'm gaming late at night or pushing out coding projects, the S26 just works—making every part of my routine that much easier. If you’re like me and balance gaming, coding, and streaming, the Galaxy AI on this device is a total game-changer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Galaxy AI 10 times already to help with searching, image editing and Image searches. I will say the time I have saved with the A.I. has be surprisingly alot. Can't wait to see what else this device will give me as the time goes by
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good phone. Fit surprisingly well in hand. Fast for daily use. Keeps cool through gaming. Galaxy AI translate features are actually pretty handy. Battery could be better though.
[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.

[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!
