It seamlessly handles everything I need throughout the day for school, work, and personal use without missing a beat. Everything runs smoothly, the display looks great, and it's easily the best device I've owned.

Disappointed with the screen durability

Haris . 1 day ago

I've had my Galaxy S26 for about a month, and the screen already has noticeable scratches. This is really disappointing because I never had this issue with my older Samsung phones. I take reasonable care of my phone, so I didn't expect to see scratches this soon on a new premium device. The phone itself has been good, but the screen durability has been a major disappointment. I expected the display to hold up better with normal everyday use. Other than that, it performs as well as it should, and AI integration is almost unavoidable.

R&R Team - 6 hours ago

Hi there Haris, thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S26 with us. We understand how disappointing it can be when your device is not meeting your expectations. We have provided links to the full manual and the Samsung Support Team to help you disable any features you are not finding helpful for your needs, and discover additional accessories to help you with the protection of your display from scratches you mention experiencing. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Product Manuals https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 as it's the perfect size to fit in my pocket. While I'm working, I have also been using Samsung Galaxy phones since the S9. Never switching, always gonna stay with them.

Great device wish it had better camera

Zetswai . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my device mainly for video streaming and my diabetes, and am satisfied over the upgrade from the pixel 7a. The camera is less then perfect though. I feel like my old s21+ took better videos then the s26. I also have issues getting it to link to windows. Very fast and slim. Can run 15 apps simultaneously with no problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S26 for both work and personal use, and it has exceeded my expectations. The processing speed is incredibly fast, handling multitasking and productivity applications effortlessly. The camera quality is outstanding, capturing crisp details in every shot. I am very glad I chose this phone for my daily routine as it seamlessly integrates with my workflow and entertainment.
