love the smaller form factor
on May 31, 2026
Posted by: aac1988
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size of this phone!! I have both the Ultra and base model. I am now wondering if I should just buy the smaller phone in the future :D! I like many do not use the S-Pen lol.. I also do not really watch movies on here.. yeah, I'll watch YouTube videos on here but I don't need a big screen for that bc the base model S26 screen is big enough. I love how snug it fits in one hand... yeah I know about one handed mode on the Ultra lol but still... this phone weighs less and fits just right.
I love the Galaxy AI on this... especially within the Samsung Keyboard which has really elevated my typing experience. I use this all the time along with Gboard <3. I love the priority notifications as well.. i get a ton of notifications at work but this helps me see the more important apps easier.
This phone pairs well with the Samsung Watch 8. I cannot live without this phone/watch pair... it makes life more seamless.
Most of my friends have the other competitors phone and let me tell you... most of them are always admiring the features and customization options that Samsung offers.

Fits great in the hand
on May 31, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving the size of this phone! I have both the S26 and S26 Ultra... this smaller phone really does feel well in my hands. Overall, I love the features on this smaller phone. I don't really use the privacy screen other than at work so it's not a deal breaker with the smaller phone that does not offer it. My main thing is that I wish we had the Ultra cameras on the smaller phone... aside from that, I could see myself using this phone for work since taking pics is not something I would do there haha.
I love using Perplexity AI to help me with my day to day things that I need assistance on. I wish more people could see how this is super helpful. It's like having a best friend but online haha. I love the AI within Gboard and Samsung keyboard.
Samsung is the king of customization. People with that other competitors phone line are always admiring how cool my phone is.
I wish Samsung would give us a small phone with more premium specs.. charge me more.. I wouldn't mind paying for a small powerhouse phone...

As a LOYAL Samsung user, I HATE this phone!
on June 3, 2026
Posted by: jdubdub
from Texas
I recently switched from an S24 to S26 and have had every Galaxy phone ever made.
Half the time I don't get notifications and changing the app notifications is NEARLY impossible! Going back to Xfinity and either going back to my old phone or going to try the S25. Cannot run a business with a phone where notifications don't work which includes - voicemail, texts, and notifications from apps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 is one of the most well-rounded smartphones available today. Samsung has combined premium design, top-tier performance, and innovative Galaxy AI features into a device that feels smarter and more useful than ever. The phone is fast, responsive, and handles everything from multitasking to gaming with ease.
One of the biggest highlights is Galaxy AI, which enhances everyday tasks through intelligent writing assistance, real-time translation, advanced photo editing, and productivity tools that genuinely save time. These features feel practical rather than gimmicky and help the S26 stand out from the competition.
The camera system continues to impress with sharp, detailed photos, excellent low-light performance, and vibrant colors. Galaxy AI also helps improve images by removing distractions, enhancing details, and simplifying edits with just a few taps. Video quality is equally impressive, making the S26 a great choice for content creators and casual users alike.
Battery life is strong enough to last a full day of heavy use, while fast charging minimizes downtime. The bright, smooth display delivers an outstanding viewing experience whether you're watching videos, scrolling social media, or playing games.
Samsung's long-term software support and security updates add even more value, ensuring the device remains relevant for years to come. Overall, the Galaxy S26 delivers flagship performance, premium features, and meaningful AI enhancements that make it
