[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S22 to the S26, and honestly—it was such a great decision.
First of all, the pink gold color is absolutely stunning. It’s soft, dreamy, and cute, but still works for anyone regardless of gender. I didn’t expect to love it this much.
The battery is also much better than the S22—I don’t even need a power bank anymore.
On top of that, the new AI features are actually useful in everyday life, not just gimmicks. They really make things more convenient.
Even though the camera hardware doesn’t look very different from the S22, the results are noticeably better thanks to improved software and processing. The photos just come out nicer.
Overall, I’m really happy with this upgrade—it definitely feels worth it.

Overall, not happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S25 and overall, this is not a great upgrade. I have not noticed any improvements to performance, battery life, or the camera quality. Having a slightly larger display is nice. The worst part is that the camera bump is significantly larger than the S25 and the Samsung case I bought accentuates this so that the phone can no longer lie flat on a surface without massively wobbling. Also, the Exynos processor has already caused me compatibility issues in that I can't use the latest AI tools from Google Research.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new phone. At first, I thought there wasn't much difference between my old S23 and new S26 but the more I started playing around with it, the more I started loving it. I really like the camera and the quality of photos. They come out so crisp and clear even when it is dark but the best feature is hands down super steady mode for taking videos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 갤럭시 s시리즈는 오랜만에 다시 사용하는건데. 마감이나 성능이 너무 좋네요. 엑시노스가 이제 많이 치고 올라왔다고 생각하고 ai로 스마트폰 배경화면 만드는데 너무 재밌네요. 삼성전자 주식을 사서 그런지 엑시노스가 더 잘 되었으면 좋겠네요 ㅎㅎ
