Still learning, but love it so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just upgraded from an s22 last evening, so am still learning the new phone, getting everything in order. Very similar to the s22 of course, mostly just trying to figure out Gemini and Galaxy AI, as i never used them on my s22. I also added a smart watch so that's been a process as I've never owned one of them either. But enjoying both so far. Definitely pro- samsung products and always will be.

New Upgrade
on May 20, 2026
Posted by: AMunoz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased the new galaxy S26 256 gig, upgrading from the Samsung galaxy Note 8. The size is more comfortable out of the gate, and the battery lasts a lot longer although the Note 8 is almost 10 years old so not suprised. Other then that Id say it feels alot more snappy especially on some websites and even watching videos on youtube. I am still getting used to somethings as One ui 1.0 vs One ui 8.5 is a big difference. I am pretty happy with my purchase and with 7 years of updates Im sure this purchase will last me a good while.

Powerful, smooth, and packed with smart features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S26 daily for work, entertainment, and gaming, and it has been an excellent experience so far. The performance feels incredibly fast and smooth no matter how many apps are open. Battery life easily lasts throughout the day, even with heavy streaming, navigation, and multitasking.
The display is one of my favorite parts of the device. Watching movies, sports, and videos looks amazing with bright colors and sharp details. The speakers are also surprisingly powerful and clear.
The camera system performs very well in both daylight and low light. Photos come out detailed and natural, and video stabilization is impressive. I also enjoy using Galaxy AI features for productivity and quick edits because they help save time during busy days.
Gaming performance has been excellent with no overheating or lag during long sessions. The phone also feels premium and comfortable to hold despite the large screen size.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 feels like a complete flagship device with strong performance, great battery life, useful AI features, and an excellent display for both work and entertainment.
