So easy to upgrade
on May 20, 2026
Posted by: Radarbarb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the easiest upgrade yet! I was able to quickly transfer my old phone's data to this phone - it was seamless! No frustrating figuring out how to do anything on the S26! I was hesitant to upgrade but am so glad I did! The S26 is slick and the pictures are so clear! Highly recommend it!

Great phone
on May 24, 2026
Posted by: ILoveLoveshy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from my previous s20 and the s26 is so much better. I personally found that the device had a much better battery life (even with battery protection on) and the camera is incredibly good. Though I really dislike the Galaxy AI features. I'm against AI so seeing it incorporated into most apps sucks. I really wish there was a way to disable those features.

I like this phone mainly the camera feature
on May 26, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the camera features because I am a amature photographer that takes a lot of pictures at night and it really captures the stars when I take them

The storage space!!
on May 11, 2026
Posted by: ILovesU
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the storage space so much, about 250 GB of storage I believe, so much more that most devices and it's super useful of course! Up to you and what you're looking for, storage space for images, videos, memories, etc.
My Galaxy AI is awesome! So much to do and very helpful especially in everyday life. It helps me plan, keep track, study, move & exercise, it keeps me accountable overall.
A great size and light weight phone, perfect for moving around. Genuinely awesome cameras for pictures, etc. Especially if you like to take pictures all hours of the day, your nightlife pictures get a huge upgrade with the quality, and brightness. The cameras are a bit big but I don't care about it too much.. if you'd like a slim phone, maybe this isn't for you though.

Software is a step backwards, phone is too large
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: cvs26review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The software in this new phone is a step back compared to my previous device (z flip 5). It lost customization options I made use of previously, such as the ability to hide the battery charge percentage from the status bar, while becoming significantly more pushy with "Galaxy AI". I do not want to use these silly AI features, stop asking. I don't care how much money Samsung has wasted chasing this market trend, I don't want my product to be made actively-worse to justify their bad investments. The number of pre-installed apps I do not want also increased, as did the count of advertisements disguised as push notifications.
Additionally, the phone is too large. The base-model S series was the last premium-quality phone that could reasonably be called "small" on the market (despite still being about 20% larger than I'd like), and this entry (the S26) increased the size. Either make it smaller again or, ideally, release a "Mini" variant. The market for such phones isn't large, but it's completely ignored by every other smartphone maker, so would be captive to Samsung. Regardless, the size increase is unappreciated.

Feels Dated
on May 27, 2026
Posted by: EmSage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although, it's been awhile since using Samsung phones in my opinion it's not really user friendly and feels cryptic. I got this phone for my business and I cannot seem to actually get comfortable with using it besides for calls and backup. It's not very comfortable to use
