Decent phone
on April 12, 2026
Posted by: CaliDrms
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I wanted to use the S26+ for a month or so to get a good feel for it before I left a review. I have found that although the Samsung hasn't changed much from the previous S24+ it is packed with Galaxy AI features and this is where it becomes somewhat annoying. The AI seems to override settings like the Do Not Disturb feature no matter what settings you have. Sleep schedules- forget that if the AI thinks it's priority, it will send it through. I have found that Galaxy AI seems to want to prioritize/override specific app sounds for notifications also. The battery also doesn't seem to last as long on this phone as the previous generations even though battery capacity hasn't changed. Samsung messaging has disappeared to be replaced by Google messaging which also is more messy and glitchy. Overall the phone is decent but honestly could use some work to make it better for the price point.

Beast of a phone!!!!
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyTillDie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26+ has honestly become a big part of my daily routine. One of the standout features for me is Galaxy AI—it makes simple things like texting, searching, and organizing my day feel faster and smarter without much effort.
I use my phone a lot for streaming shows and watching sports, and the display is super bright and smooth, which makes everything look great even outdoors. Gaming also runs really well with no lag, and the battery easily lasts me through a full day of heavy use.
For work and school tasks, it’s been reliable for multitasking—switching between apps, taking notes, and joining video calls is seamless. The camera is another highlight; photos come out sharp and clear, even in low light.
Overall, the Galaxy S26+ feels like a well-rounded device that fits into everyday life easily, whether it’s for entertainment, productivity, or just staying connected.

Always evolving, feature rich!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pictures and video are crisp with excellent image quality. Image scan is a game changer when I attend business presentations. Galaxy ai gives next level cleaning and editing functions. Voice interface is also much improved over past phones I've used.
Battery life has been greatly improved and internal storage capacity has doubled over previous iterations.

Samsung Galaxy S26+ Review p
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Yummymust
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is easily one of the most impressive smartphones I’ve ever used. The design is sleek and premium, and the display is absolutely stunning with bright colors and ultra-smooth performance that makes everything look amazing.
What really makes the phone stand out is the Galaxy AI features. They make everyday tasks easier and smarter, whether it’s helping with photos, improving productivity, or making the phone feel more intuitive to use. It feels like having a personal assistant built right into the device.
The performance is incredibly fast, the camera captures sharp and vibrant photos, and the battery easily keeps up with a full day of use. Overall, the Galaxy S26+ combines powerful technology with smart innovation, and the Galaxy AI truly takes the smartphone experience to the next level. It’s a device that feels like the future in your hand.

I love it!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: TatianaR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the Galaxy S24 to the Galaxy S26+ and the setup alone impressed me. Transferring everything was super easy. The basics (contacts, messages, settings, even my wallpaper) moved over in just a few minutes, and the rest of my app data transferred in the background for a couple of hours – including most app settings – while I was already using the phone. I loved that I didn’t have to wait to start using it.
The screen is noticeably brighter and more responsive than my old phone. Scrolling and watching videos feel extra smooth, and it’s easier to see even in bright sunlight. Battery life has been great too. Even with the screen on for hours, it lasts longer than my S24, and fast charging works really well when I need it.
The cameras are a clear upgrade. Photos are sharper and more detailed, and low-light shots come out much better than before. I’ve also been having a lot of fun exploring the Galaxy AI features. Photo editing is surprisingly powerful, and it’s handy to quickly search for what’s on your screen. Call captions and text editing tools have come in handy more than I expected.
Small productivity improvements make a difference too. Copying and pasting between apps is easier, and the two-hand options for moving content around are surprisingly useful. Overall, the Galaxy S26+ feels like a real upgrade. It’s faster, the screen is brighter and more responsive, the battery lasts longer, and setting it up was one of the easiest phone transitions I’ve ever had.

New same as the old but new and not bad
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Reivaj
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from a s23. Definitely the target audience. The experience has been fantastic and what I have been looking for. Especially since I almost got the s25 but glad I waited. Also this is my first time really using the Galaxy AI and it has been an intuitive experience.
Primarily use this device for YouTube Netflix and gaming.

Slight improvement 3 years later
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: BGood2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Virtually unchanged from my S23+. The screen resolution is a bit higher, but I've set it to the same resolution to extend battery life.
I'm really not sure I "upgraded" so much as got a new model.
Might be better to wait for next year....
Yeah, there's no chance I'm winning their sweepstakes now!

The greatest phone I ever have
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Bellamin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the S26+. It's the best phone so far. The phone is so light and fast. And the new AI on the phone is very intelligent. It makes my day much easier after using Ai. If anyone thinks about upgrades, don't hesitate it. ❤️❤️
