Great new phone

8 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to choose what phone to get for myself. The reasons why I decided on this phone over others. I like the size. The feature of swiping from the right hand corner to get to the short cuts was very nice. I'm still learning how to use it. Adding apps from the old phone is going pretty flawless. Over all I like it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, I previously had the s23 & I'm not seeing too much of a difference. The battery last longer & the camera is better. I'm sure I have more to explore over time since I've only had the phone for less than a week now.

Great product!!

Gonzalo · 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 for a few days now and I’m genuinely impressed. The performance is incredibly fast and smooth, even when multitasking with multiple apps open. The display is absolutely stunning—bright, sharp, and perfect for watching videos or browsing. One of the standout features for me is Galaxy AI. The smart assistance tools are surprisingly useful in everyday situations, from helping organize tasks to improving photos automatically. It really feels like the phone adapts to how you use it. The camera quality is also exceptional. Photos come out detailed with great color balance, even in low light. Battery life has been very reliable and easily lasts through a full day of heavy use. Overall, the Galaxy S26 feels like a true next-generation device. Between the powerful performance, beautiful design, advanced camera system, and the helpful Galaxy AI features, it’s easily one of the best smartphones I’ve used.

Functional & Capable Device

DTXNorthSide · 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 is a very functional and capable phone, but aside from that it appears to be pretty basic and alot like last years S25. The Galaxy AI is a nice addition but using it is a headache. Doesn't seem to be capable of much more than Googles Gemini. The Perplexity thing (browser) could be nice if it actually merged smoothly. It's counterpart (Comet) seems extremely basic and "Hey Plex" never worked. One out of 10 I'd give the device a 8.

S26 is a downgrade

Steve · 1 day ago

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 Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages
