Always Samsung
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: OmniKr
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Samsung customer since my first phone and probably will be all my life. I very much like your products and all my devices are Samsung. One thing that I noticed with my last phone (Samsung S26 Galaxy AI) is that when it's charging the screen acts up. Hopefully this can be fixed with the next update. Keep up the great work you guys are doing. THANK YOU.

Another great addition to the lineup
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: Arnold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 is the current 2026 flagship, taking over from the Galaxy S25 series last year. Not much changes from the S25 other than new storage capacity offerings, a better processor and a slightly bigger screen. The camera has also been further improved. More features are granted via the larger siblings in the S26 lineup. All in all, it's still a good phone, and is small enough to use in one hand comfortably. The Galaxy AI features are also present in this series, having been introduced with the S25 and later.

This phone has great speeds
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: Towman2022
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All of the features I wanted are in this phone. The camera is great, the screen is amazing, they didn't increase the size much compared to the s25 that I previously had. It's got amazing battery life and I use it daily for my business and the navigation that I use daily. Would highly recommend this phone to anyone

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.

S26 is a downgrade
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Steve
So i purchased the base model s26 and let me tell you that the image quality is poor and blurry , the colors are terrible , the colors of video reels on facebook and youtube have a yellow/greenish hue tint. Too much brightness and contrast , RBG does nothing , i upgraded from a galaxy s20 5g and i must say it still has a better display/colors than the s26. I've been a galaxy phone type guy for a while because i don't like iphones but the s26 is really turning me off.

Hello Steve, we appreciate you taking time out of your day to share your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S26 with us. We completely understand how disappointing it can be when your device is not operating as intended or expected. If you are using the new privacy display the Maximum Privacy protection mode is designed to enhance privacy effects more than the standard Privacy mode. In this mode, pixel operation control is used to strengthen privacy effects, which may cause slight color changes or a blurry appearance on the screen. We have provided a link to the complete manual to help you adjust the display settings to best align to your preferences, including the privacy display. We have also shared a link to the Samsung Support Team to assist you further if you have questions about your device. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth
