Product has real features!
on June 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why I'm Actually Excited About the Galaxy S26
Look, I've had phones that promise the world and deliver... meh. But the S26's Galaxy AI actually does stuff I care about.
Real talk on what stands out:
Live Translate is a game-changer. My cousin in Italy calls, we just... talk. No awkward pauses, no "wait, what did you say?" It just works.
Circle to Search? I see something random on Instagram, circle it, done. No typing "blue jacket thing from that show" and hoping for the best.
Photo editing that doesn't make me want to throw my phone. Remove photobombers, move stuff around, fix lighting—without needing a design degree.
The camera just gets it. Dark restaurant? Moving kid? It handles the messy stuff so I don't have to think about settings.
It's the first phone where the AI features feel like they were made for actual humans, not just demo videos.

Functions as intended but terrible camera location
on June 11, 2026
Posted by: MattsS26Review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new phone to replace my 9 year old galaxy s8 edge. Considering that phone lasted me so long (and I still use it btw), I figured I'd stick with a brand that's been tried and proven. I don't really use this new s26 for much other than basic calling, and app browsing. I have no desire whatsoever to use the Galaxy AI. The battery life is very impressive but that's really all the good I have to say about it. The camera lens location is terrible (I think google phones do it the best) and makes wireless charging on the older style chargers nearly impossible without positioning this a certain way. The fact that this thing also has two Sim card slots, yet no removable storage is equally infuriating. I'm glad I got a decent deal on this but I'm seriously considering trading this in for the new Google pixel phone when it comes out.

The storage space!!
on May 11, 2026
Posted by: ILovesU
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the storage space so much, about 250 GB of storage I believe, so much more that most devices and it's super useful of course! Up to you and what you're looking for, storage space for images, videos, memories, etc.
My Galaxy AI is awesome! So much to do and very helpful especially in everyday life. It helps me plan, keep track, study, move & exercise, it keeps me accountable overall.
A great size and light weight phone, perfect for moving around. Genuinely awesome cameras for pictures, etc. Especially if you like to take pictures all hours of the day, your nightlife pictures get a huge upgrade with the quality, and brightness. The cameras are a bit big but I don't care about it too much.. if you'd like a slim phone, maybe this isn't for you though.

Software is a step backwards, phone is too large
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: cvs26review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The software in this new phone is a step back compared to my previous device (z flip 5). It lost customization options I made use of previously, such as the ability to hide the battery charge percentage from the status bar, while becoming significantly more pushy with "Galaxy AI". I do not want to use these silly AI features, stop asking. I don't care how much money Samsung has wasted chasing this market trend, I don't want my product to be made actively-worse to justify their bad investments. The number of pre-installed apps I do not want also increased, as did the count of advertisements disguised as push notifications.
Additionally, the phone is too large. The base-model S series was the last premium-quality phone that could reasonably be called "small" on the market (despite still being about 20% larger than I'd like), and this entry (the S26) increased the size. Either make it smaller again or, ideally, release a "Mini" variant. The market for such phones isn't large, but it's completely ignored by every other smartphone maker, so would be captive to Samsung. Regardless, the size increase is unappreciated.

Feels Dated
on May 27, 2026
Posted by: EmSage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although, it's been awhile since using Samsung phones in my opinion it's not really user friendly and feels cryptic. I got this phone for my business and I cannot seem to actually get comfortable with using it besides for calls and backup. It's not very comfortable to use
