My new S26
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Galaxyguy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My S23 was dying, so I went to purchase a new S25, I was then told the new S26 was coming out in a few weeks, I was ecstatic.
It seems like it took forever to receive the phone, but it finally arrived. It had the same feelings as the S23, a bit larger, bit not an issue. Although the other models have some great features, I just can't get used to having a larger phone in my pocket.
I got to use the AI on some of my pics while on vacation, quick and easy to use, great results.
I use my S26 for both personal and professional, the transferring all data for the old one to the new was seriously painless and fairly quick. Ala in all it has been a very good experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In general it is the top for a compact cell phone, the only issues would be the size of the battery.

Samsung is The GOAT!
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Fjn00181
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the new Samsung Galaxy S26, loving the camera it's better than the S25 for taking pictures at night. Also I'm loving the new 60w charging compared to the 45w charging, I'm not much a wireless charger kind of person. Another thing that I love is the starting storage is 256GB. Big W on that. The Battery is also a Big W, my phone last all day on a single charge and if I do need more battery I just plug it in and about 30 min I have at least 70 percent charge on my phone thanks to the 60w charging.

Modest Upgrade
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: CurtUser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great phone. I upgraded from my Galaxy S24. I just wish the phone had a 4500 mAh battery instead of 4300 mAh. Also, the removal of mmWave connectivity just didn't seem needed. Lastly, I hope Samsung updates the cameras in the next generation.

Subtle upgrades but need an upgrade from the s24
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Aac1988
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my mom who loves using smaller phones. I wish the phone hadn't grown the extra .1 inches from the s24 that she previously had and started to show some minor lag... I'm sure it was to accomodate the slightly larger battery... Samsung please don't make the phones bigger.. some people actually want a smaller phone. She's older and short with small hands so a larger screen is not ideal for her.
She definitely appreciates the better battery life since she's always on YouTube and listening to podcasts on her buds 3 pro at work. She did wish that this model offered the 25w wireless charging that the ultra offers because her ports get dirty every few months. She also wished for faster wired charging bc of her heavy usage and working 16 hours a day 6 days a week she needs the fastest charge.
The added AI features with text messaging have really helped polish her texting between family and friends. She's a simple country woman so this has this built into the keyboard has been amazing. Overall, the AI features are still a work in progress for her but I'm showing her how to use them.
Pictures come out just like the S24. She doesn't take many pics but she mentioned the similarities between the cameras.
I like to buy her new phones every few years. I hope the next model addresses some of her minor complaints about the S26. Overall she's happy but hopeful that Samsung will listen

Excellent Productivity and AI Features
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: NewTechS26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device has become an essential tool for my daily routine, particularly for managing complex tasks between school and work. The integration of Galaxy AI has significantly improved my efficiency when summarizing long documents and organizing my research notes. The display quality is outstanding for reviewing technical data and papers, and the battery life consistently lasts through a full day of heavy use. It feels like a premium, reliable piece of hardware that handles multitasking without any lag. This has been a life saver as i would not have been able to do my studies with my previous old phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GALAXY AI is very helpful solving everyday problems and was easy to transfer all my data from the old Samsung phone in 10 minutes.
