The ease of use is amazing!
on April 5, 2026
Posted by: JD4820
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from a Galaxy A14 to a Galaxy 26 and the difference is beyond amazing! The speed is great and the ease of use is phenomenal! I can actually get work done with my phone now and I haven't dropped a call since upgrading, most definitely worth it!

Happy with my phone
on April 7, 2026
Posted by: RailfanRon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone primarily for a camera set up for taking movie videos for editing and streaming. I even still use my old galaxy for a second camera and they work wonderfully, specially for the anti shake feature, it works well and saves me dearly.

Decent upgrade from S22
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: KyleBL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cons: Functionality, it's identical to my S22 that served me well for four years.
Camera hardware hasn't effectively changed, so no true upgrade there. Worst of all, however, is that they're getting rid of samsung messages. Installing it with ADB after pulling the APK from my S22 does work, but it gives you no option other than Google messages, so you really don't have a choice but to give them all of your message data as soon as you activate your phone.
Pros:
The battery life is a night and day difference. I also like how it is capable of 6Ghz wifi. It's slightly bigger and feels better in the hand to me. I don't regret upgrading at all. I don't use Galaxy AI enough to have anything negative to say, but it's easy enough to use if that's your thing.

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.

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.

S26 vs S25
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: Dreamer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had a es Galaxy class boom for a while and getting back into it with the s25 was a smart move. S25 had a lot of features more than I even knew of that more than I would even use and now I have the s26 and it's just a better phone all in all. The speed, the accessibility and The features are awesome and I look forward to using as many of them as I can. Then you have the Galaxy AI and that has been so helpful for me in the past few months.
