Best phone yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is one of my favorite features on this phone. With just a swipe I can find whatever it is on my screen on the internet. It becomes especially useful when I'm looking at different outfits for the gym in workout videos. I have found more than once to find exactly what I'm looking for or something very similar to what the person was wearing.
This phone is very fast and I'm able to use multiple apps at one time without losing any bandwidth. No weird pausing in the middle of videos or anything like that. And just as quickly I can switch to the next app and continue watching a different video I was watching earlier in the day. I like to use my phone to record videos while I'm working out in the gym and I experience amazing Clarity with the videos and photos, almost professional quality. I'm able to see the definition in my muscles which is what I'm going for in the first place which is amazing.
I also love to take pictures of my sweet puppy and all of her funny poses. She has beautiful eyes and very bright teeth and every photo comes out striking, and captures every element I'm trying to highlight about her.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not like most people and have social media, so I am not on my phone all the time, but I can tell you I can go 2 days without charging it. This phone has been good for the year I have had.

Long time Samsung Galaxy user

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI features are very nice and I do use them for verifying photos while commuting.
Though I originally purchased this phone due to its size because I come from using the bigger Samsung Note line that turns into the Samsung ultra line and I just wanted a phone that could fit in my pocket without any issues this time around.
With that said I fully understand that I had to sacrifice some processing speed as well as other things for the form factor but they are still negatives outside of that.
Unfortunately the negatives are the ability to multitask.
I do experience some lagging and from time to time the app itself will shut down when I try to multitask within the app let alone multiple apps at one time.

Now that I'm typing everything out to be honest that's really my only negative so I don't have anything else lol.
Outside of that negative that I spoke about I believe the Samsung Galaxy s26 baseline model is phenomenal.
