Me2026 . 2 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this new S26 after having the S9 for 4 years, then the S22 for 4 years. I choose to stay with the galaxy S series due to its reliability and consistency. I'm no tech nerd, so this isn't an exhaustive review, but i will say it charges fast, is very fast w no noticeable lag(I don't game), and the battery lasts a long time (much longer than the S22 did). I notice how the screen fingerprint scanner is way more receptive than the S22 was, it used to annoy me how hard I had to press the 22, the 26 is more of a light touch. Camera seems great as usual, although I miss the easy setting for sport mode w fast shutter that the S9 had for clear motion pics. It's prolly still here, but more of a pro-mode manual kinda maneuver. Not much else to say other than it's a quality phone and I hope the battery lasts another 4 years (the previous flagship phones I owned, the battery showed obvious weakness after 3 years).

Samsung Lets Me Make My Phone Actually Mine

WeaponizedPerception . 3 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Samsung again because apparently I have standards now, and one of them is refusing to carry a phone that looks and feels exactly like everyone else’s. The Galaxy S26 does everything I need it to do with ease, but what keeps me coming back is the insane amount of personalization Samsung allows. Between Good Lock, themes, layouts, fonts, widgets, lock screen options, and all the little settings tucked throughout the phone, I can make it work exactly how I want instead of adapting to whatever somebody else decided was “simple enough.” It is also easy to navigate, easy to figure out, and somehow manages to have a ridiculous number of features without making me feel like I need an engineering degree to find them. And yes, I am absolutely emotionally attached to being able to double press for my flashlight. It sounds tiny until you use it constantly, then suddenly every phone without it feels prehistoric. The S26 is fast, smooth, intuitive, customizable, and genuinely fun to use. I like a phone that works for me, not one that expects me to work around it. That is why I chose Samsung, and why I keep choosing it.

Perfect Phone For Me

DennyH . 3 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy sS26 is perfect for me. I need a thin phone that fits in my back pocket and is easy to get in and out. The battery life is phenomena and even after heavy use, I still have at least 30% battery remaining at the end of the day.. The screen colors are vivid and extremely sharp in all lighting conditions. I've not once experienced any difficulty streaming video or data speed while connecting wirelessly on the road traveling.. The camera is super sharp and editing pictures is a breeze. Overall, this phone works perfectly for me!

Decent Flagship

killschwill . 3 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 for it's compact size, seemingly easy to replace battery and software longevity. Very powerful processor, great display and good cameras. Biggest downsides are battery life and missing features like an SD card slot and macro camera that these "premium" phones should all have. It's a shame everyone just accepts the downgrades and pays more for less. But corpo greed will always win.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to stay with Samsung and bought my wife the Galaxy S26. While she has had Samsung phones for several years, this was her first S series and this thing is far better than my older S22 Ultra. My plan is now to get the S27 Ultra when it comes out!.
