The S26 as a daily driver.

Reviewer . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The base model of the S26 is an amazing phone it has about 20 hours of battery life before it gets to around 20 percent and I charge it while not letting it get past 80% battery life the camera is great not just that but having 256gb is a life changer from someone who has had 64gb and I no longer really worry about the storage not only that but this being my first experience with Galaxy AI and its not a bad thing I've used it sparingly with live translate because of the giddy feeling you get when have new features and see it online so I experimented with my bilingual family not only that but I've used the feature in gallery that allows you to cut things or people out while also keeping a relatively good quality and seems better than most other apps I've seen do it so overall my experience with it has been great.

L1l14587 . 4 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received my new Samsung S26, and I am very impressed with the device. Compared to the other Samsung S26 models, I particularly appreciate its more compact size, which suits my preferences perfectly. The Galaxy AI features have been extremely helpful and have made my daily tasks much easier by quickly providing the information I need. However, I have noticed one issue that does not seem to be working as expected. Samsung Pass is currently unable to save my passwords and displays a message indicating that the service is temporarily unavailable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved my Samsung devices and needed an upgrade so decided on the S26. The Galaxy AI makes this device a great choice. I'm still learning all of the options but the main reason I wanted an S series was to be able to use my Galaxy buds to the fullest extent. It pairs well with all of my Samsung devices and the camera is amazing!

Love my S26. Faster, better camera, and sharper.

SkyPilot715 . 4 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used my new Samsung S26 for over 3 months now. I really love it and I am glad I upgraded when I did. The most noticeable differences are it is much faster and the screen and camera is a lot sharper and clearer. There is no lag when I am scrolling or switch between App, etc. The settings are organized well and I can easily find what I am looking for. Support for WiFi 7 is also very beneficial. Samsung has drastically improved the sound quality over my old phone. I can hear calls, notifications, and music and videos are clear and sharp. I am older with some hearing loss, so that is very beneficial for me. The camera photo and video quality is excellent, so I hardly use my DSLR anymore. I can get great photos and videos, even in low light, with sharp, clear details. The S26 has added many functions that allow me to really unleash my creative side. I especially like the Galaxy AI and how I can make my daily tasks much simpler and easier for me, saving time and frustration. My photos come out a lot brighter and enhanced to look more professional. I don't have to worry about missing the perfect shot or video. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my Samsung Galaxy S26. This is a beautiful phone and lived up to everything that I expected. I would highly recommend the S26 and feel it would make a great gift for anyone special.

The software is a mess

John . 5 days ago

The problems started when all my apps on the home page disappeared. They were all now in an app draw. I had to bring them back to the hime page. Then they disappeared again. Then they reappeared. Wow, this thing is confusing. Next, the phone started installing new apps spontaneously. It installed five different text apps. I could not stop it and can't figure out which ones I should delete and which single one I should keep. Next it freezes up and won't do anything. Then it spontaneously presents ads that I can't stop or get rid of. This phone is a mess. I wish I never got it.

DogMom . 6 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Galaxy phone, it feels perfect in my hand and the features are incredible. It takes great photos even though I have a muscle problem, it takes photos that aren't too fuzzy the way other phones always have. The Galaxy AI is so interesting and the tutorial is very good. I'm 70 years old and I didn't think I wanted a "fancy" phone but I was so wrong. I'm so delighted with this purchase.

What is the difference between the FHD and QHD displays

Answer from Verizon Customer Support1 month

The primary difference between FHD (Full High Definition) and QHD (Quad High Definition) is the total number of pixels, which directly impacts image sharpness and available screen space. QHD offers significantly crisper text and finer details. On monitors larger than 27 inches, FHD pixels can become visible, making images look "fuzzy," whereas QHD maintains a density similar to printed paper.
