Great phone
on May 13, 2026
Posted by: Towman25
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had so many galaxy phones and every year when I upgrade it doesn't surprise me on how much they've improved. Even now with Galaxy AI it's getting better every time they do an upgrade.

Not much improvement
on April 23, 2026
Posted by: Noname
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to s22 not much big improvements. Camerica was a bit better. When i saw only the ultra would have privacy protector I was disappointed & don't like how it has too many samung apps as some can't be uninstalled like Avatar sticker, Galaxy avatar, Bixby. Also it installed Clouadapp without my permission with useless games so I wasted time deleting them. Only big improvements I saw from s22 is longer battery, Magsafe compatible, having ai ask unknown# who's calling & feature to hear voice of videos more clearer when online

S26 Upgrade
on March 28, 2026
Posted by: ValuedCustomer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Galaxy S22 to the new S26, and the difference has been noticeable right away. The performance is faster and smoother across the board, whether I’m switching between apps, streaming, or handling work tasks throughout the day.
The battery life is a big improvement for me. With the S22 I was often watching the charge by late afternoon, but the S26 easily gets me through a full day with room to spare.
Galaxy AI has been a standout feature. I’ve found it genuinely useful for things like summarizing content, helping draft messages, and improving photos. It feels practical, not gimmicky, and fits naturally into how I use the phone.
The display is sharp and bright, and the camera quality continues to impress, especially in lower light. Overall, this feels like a solid, worthwhile upgrade that improves everyday use in a meaningful way.

Surprisingly Satisfied w/my s26
on April 20, 2026
Posted by: Meechyluvss26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE for a while now, and it’s honestly a powerhouse. The screen is gorgeous for streaming, but my favorite part is how well it integrates with Gemini. Having that AI right there makes it so easy to brainstorm song lyrics or organize my day on the fly. Plus, with the 45W fast charging, I’m never stuck waiting around for a boost. It’s a solid, reliable phone that actually feels smart.

Galaxy S26
on May 2, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyGrrl
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my Note10 to the S26. I was VERY hesitant because I loved my Note10 soooo much. Even after using it for 5+ years I felt no need to upgrade because it was such an amazing phone. It recently started to glitch and not hold battery as long so I knew it was time to upgrade. I chose the S26 over the + or U because the size. I felt like S26 was perfect since it was just slightly larger than the Note10. I also didnt feel like I needed the additional specs the other models offered. I haven't played with the new Galaxy AI feature much yet, but I look forward to checking out its capabilities. I have no regrets about upgrading. The S26 has been a great switch. Updated UI and messaging is an improvement. Battery life is very good for me. Overall its a reliable phone and i was able to get it in my favorite color, purple! I would recommend this phone to anyone looking to upgrade or switch.
