S22 -> S26 Upgrade!
on April 19, 2026
Posted by: DaveCee267
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been on the S22 for 4 years and saw I could upgrade to the S26 for FREE! DUH!! Did it. The new S26 is noticeably faster and the screen is slightly bigger with a more squared corner. Standard features like Galaxy AI are nice, and help out in so many ways. No regrets on making the switch, and Smart Switch makes data transfer a breeze.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung S26
I’m very pleased with my Samsung S26. The phone feels fast, smooth, and highly responsive in everyday use. Apps open quickly, multitasking is seamless, and overall performance has been very reliable with no lag or issues.
The display is bright, sharp, and vibrant, making everything from reading to streaming enjoyable. One of the standout features for me is the camera—it is amazing. Photos come out clear, detailed, and vibrant, even in lower light. It has really improved the quality of my everyday pictures and videos.
I also appreciate the sleek, modern design and how comfortable it feels in hand. Battery life has been okay and dependable throughout the day with regular use. Overall, this is a strong upgrade that combines great performance, excellent camera quality, and a premium feel.

Love this phone
on April 18, 2026
Posted by: SquirrelMom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Galaxy S26! I am so glad that I switched from an I-phone to this. At first, I was very skeptical but once it was in my hand I loved it! In my car I am able to enjoy music via voice commands. This Galaxy S26 features Galaxy AI which include Gemini-powered screen automation for app tasks, photo editing, and contest-aware suggestion.

The features on the S26 are noncomparison to S23.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The options for voicemail messages are outstanding. Having messages left and readable while on a call allows for various options. THE AI feature gives multiple options for texting and other correspondence.
I'm still learning my phone, while enjoying it tremendously.

New S26 phone
on April 17, 2026
Posted by: Chfletch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy to be back in the Galaxy. After many years owning Galaxy phones, about 2 years ago, I strayed to a non Samsung phone, what a mistake. The S26 was the easiest to set up and transfer to date. Haven’t explored the AI yet, looking forward to photo editing.

Nice upgrade
on April 16, 2026
Posted by: IrizR0d
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had multiple Galaxy series since the S5. My last one was an S10 and the improvements since then are phenomenal. The camera quality is above average, storage at 512gb for the regular S26 model, user interface responsiveness has done a few haywire things, customization features awesome. I'm most impressed by the integrated AI feature that I can activate at any point without having to exit the current screen I'm on. The Galaxy AI features are not only fun but very handy and I've been using it more frequently whereas before I was mostly opposed to it. Overall I'm impressed and happy with the S26 and hopefully it will last me a long time.
