Phone shuts down randomly and poor service
on September 26, 2026
Posted by: Cruiser
from South Dakota
Do not buy this phone. I've had my Galaxy S26 for about 3 months. It shuts down randomly 2 or 3 times per day. The screen also freezes and requires a hard reset a couple times a week. The support has not been good. I sat on hold for a long time and finally reached a human. They did some remote troubleshooting, found nothing and we got disconnected. It's been a nightmare trying to resolve this problem. This phone is not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not what I was expecting
on September 26, 2026
Posted by: Samsungphone4ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Following my positive experience with the Samsung S22, I purchased the Samsung 26 series as an upgrade and a secondary work device. Unfortunately, I have found the device to be disappointing; it lacks a stylus, and its form factor and user interface are counterintuitive. Despite my technical proficiency, I believe this model represents a significant downgrade compared to the device I have used for the past four years.

Samsung S26

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time using Samsung product. Figuring a way out of an expensive ecosystem. The ease of use and adaptability was surprising.

Just What I Expected of a Flagship Model <3
on September 26, 2026
Posted by: LilFlame
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a few Samsung phones in my many years, and always valued their speed, ease of use, functions and style. I finally upgraded from a S21fe and could not be happier. I loved the fe, but the new features and updated processor is so worth the change. I'm delighted I chose to pick up this S26.
