Galaxy S26 | S26+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a user of Samsung Galaxy S series since the launch of Galaxy S. As Samsung brings great feature day by day. Upon opening the package I the package i thought phone was just as similar to my Samsung Galaxy S24+ apart from a change in camera lens bezel. I have beennusing the phone from over 1 week now and harvester the difference between the 2 devices. This phone (S26+) is way more advanced compared to the previous model. Sharp display(crisp clear screen) with enhanced camera capability. I am still getting used to the Advanced Ai features such as photo edit, translation and search. As I keep on using the phone I am loving.

I've been using this Samsung phone for a few weeks now, and I'm very impressed with the overall experience. The battery life easily lasts all day, even with heavy usage. The camera captures clear and vibrant photos, making it great for everyday photography. The display is bright, sharp, and enjoyable for watching videos and browsing. Performance is fast and responsive, with apps opening smoothly and multitasking working without any issues. The design feels premium, and the build quality gives confidence in its durability. Overall, this device offers excellent value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my s26 about a week ago and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I know alot of people have mentioned how it isn't much of an upgrade from the s25 but as someone who's upgrading from the Flip 6 (I know, I know but I kind of just wanted better battery and cameras) it is an upgrade. The cameras and battery life are a significant upgrade for me. It's also very snappy and smooth. I've also been converted back to Bixby. She's kind of cool now (although she needs to be better at language recognition). I also love the design. I got the white which just looks sleek. I'd like to use her naked but unfortunately I don't have a great track record in that regard

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is an excellent flagship phone that stands out with its beautiful 120Hz AMOLED display, delivering bright colors and super smooth scrolling. Its performance is extremely fast and responsive, easily handling gaming, multitasking, and daily use without any lag. The camera system captures sharp, vibrant photos with great detail in both daylight and low-light conditions. Battery life is impressive, lasting a full day comfortably, and the overall build quality feels premium and very durable, with strong water and dust resistance. Overall, the Galaxy S26 offers a high-quality, reliable experience and feels like a refined, top-tier smartphone.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a great phone overall. The display is bright, sharp, and easy to see even in direct sunlight. The color looks fantastic, and the Galaxy AI features are genuinely useful for everyday tasks. The battery life is average, and I also wish it had UWB support, especially for using the phone as a digital car key. Overall, it's a solid phone with a great display, useful AI features, and an attractive design, with just a couple of areas that could be improved. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S26 is a great phone with an excellent display, useful AI features, and an attractive design. If you can live with average battery life, it's a solid choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Gslaxy S26 Plus Android is a compact phone and a significant upgrade from earlier Galaxy devices. I have the blue colour. Great for users wanting a lightweight, ergonomic phone. Increased screen size gives further space for Apps. Comfortably held in one hand. The triple camera facility provides sharp shots/photographs with improved portrait styles. The phone has fantastic battery life, easily lasting all day long from a full charge with large usage. The device provides a very smooth delivery of applications with new AI tools. Upgraded processing power inclusive of 12GB of RAM. Quick and touch responsive with all Apps. I would highly recommend this device

[Cet avis a été recueilli en réponse à une offre.] J’utilise le Samsung Galaxy S26+ depuis quelques jours et je suis vraiment satisfait. Le téléphone est très fluide, l’écran est magnifique avec une excellente luminosité, même en extérieur, et la prise en main reste agréable malgré la grande taille. Les photos sont nettes, les couleurs sont belles sans être trop exagérées, et le mode nuit fonctionne très bien. La batterie tient facilement la journée avec une utilisation normale, ce qui est un vrai plus. J’apprécie aussi la rapidité du déverrouillage, la qualité du son et la finition très premium du téléphone. C’est un smartphone complet, puissant et agréable au quotidien.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Samsung phones so we were excited to purchase the S26+. It is a similar size to the Samsung 25fe which is perfect as its not too small. The phone looks stylish and it comes in a range of colours. The storage is 512 gb and it has a Ram of 12gb which is much better. It works quickly and was easy to set up and I could configure my accounts and apps with ease using the Samsung app. It allowed me to transfer the details from my previous phone over WiFi with no errors. The camera goes to 50mb and provides clear pictures and videos. It has a long lasting battery life and a clear display. A stylish phone that offers great performance with a range of features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this just under a week now and absolutely love it, I've come from the standard S25 which is not much of a jump but the privacy display especially when controlled by specific apps is very useful and grear considering its first gen technology. Horizontal lock is a cool feature even though I might bot use it often, I can't fault the camera quality at all. Double storage for same pric as perfect for me as i had 256gb previously and now gone to 512gb. Will keep this phone for years to come as its a flagship with fantastic features i find very useful day to day, especially combined with modes and routines which are so underated! Love the cobal violet colour as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I pre-ordered then traded my Galaxy S25 up to the new Galaxy S26 through Samsung/Asurion again, this is the fifth time I have done this and again it was seamless. My new phone is so good, it is faster, slightly bigger, although not noticeable and is a great upgrade that I make every year when the new model is released. I couldn't be happier with my new phone, the price and the overall process of the trade-up program arranged by Samsung is the best way to upgrade particularly when you pre-order and get the 512Gb for the price of 256Gb plus some other discounts for pre-ordering this fantastic phone. I love it. Thankyou Samsung . I will be back for more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB is a premium flagship that feels fast, polished, and packed with top-end features. It stands out for its large 6.9-inch display, strong camera system, powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, and generous 512GB storage, making it a great choice for photography, multitasking, and heavy everyday use. Samsung’s new Privacy Display is a unique extra, though some reviewers say the phone is more of a refinement than a huge leap forward, and the price is firmly in the premium tier. Overall, it’s an excellent high-end phone for users who want performance, storage, and versatility in one device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S24 to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and I’m really impressed with the improvements. The battery life is excellent and easily lasts through a full day of use without any issues. One feature I particularly love is the privacy screen, which is great when using the phone in public as it stops people nearby from seeing what’s on your display. The camera is amazing and takes incredibly clear, detailed photos in all kinds of lighting. This is also my first time having a phone with the S Pen, and I didn’t realise how useful it would be. It’s great for quick notes, editing photos, and just navigating the phone in a different way.

I change my s25 to s26 but i feel lije i did a mistake its nit the perfirmance But i feel s25 more compact and less weight in my hand S25 162 gram only i really wich if samsung make again cimoact phone .all other making phine with big screen and big battery and most of peoole putting phine in their pocket mainly wuch dont have bag lij women .please make again like 5.7 inch screen with 144 mm enough to handle with 1 hand will be great thank you not all people gamers or heavy social media users most of poeple will not look to the perfirmance of tje processor but the weight ,how its handle with one hand as long s26 doing the same job as s25 make a compact one thank you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my new Galaxy 26+ last Friday and am more than delighted with it . It is marginally larger than my S24 but not overly so. I can still fit it into the usual pockets and bags as before . But the slightly larger screen is a boon to my aging eyes. Makes life that little bit easier. I’m still finding my way around the camera but am enjoying the wide range of whistles and bells therein. It is fun manipulating certain photos to remove objects I don’t want in the frame . I know , so far, I am only scratching the surface and I have a long interesting journey ahead. I look forward to discovering all the added extras I did not hv on my old phone. Happy days ahead !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I preorder the S26 Ultra 1t version and have been using it for few days. At first glance it was very similar to the previous model. However, the longer you use it the better it is. From feeling slightly lighter to hold, to having an amazing new feature of the privacy screen on apps of your choice. With life on constant move I find it very useful especially when I need to do some banking on the train. The mobile seems faster and screen looks graphically better than it's precedes or. I really like the Ai features as well especially being able to highlight and select and ask anything about images or texts at any time.

I purchased mobile but realised order was wrong. Chat support missed a step. What a nightmare to fix. Samsung have lied and refused to fix or refund order. Website is clear about cancelling but they do not follow what is posted they make there own process. This process is about delaying refund as long as possible, refusing to provide customer support, refusing to investigate complaints seriously. Even emailing CEO same response. Told while in shipping my responsibility and depending on condition on return they can deny refund. This is for an online store pick up. Their courier I never even get to see the mobile.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26+ for a short while now, and I’m really impressed. The design feels premium and lightweight, with a large, bright display that’s great for streaming and everyday use. It’s smooth and responsive, which makes scrolling and switching between apps feel effortless. Performance has been excellent so far, everything runs quickly, even when multitasking. The battery easily lasts a full day with regular use, and charging is fast enough to top up when needed. The camera is another highlight, producing sharp, vibrant photos in good lighting and performing well in lower light too. It’s reliable for everyday shots without needing much adjustment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a nice step up from my S24 Ultra—the trade-in was seamless, and made the upgrade very affordable. The S26 Ultra is slimmer and lighter, the screen's super bright and sharp, performance is snappy with solid all-day battery, and the cameras handle low light way better. The new Galaxy AI bits like Now Nudge (those smart pop-up suggestions for stuff like adding calendar events or sharing pics) and Now Brief (quick daily summaries) feel handy without being over the top. But the Privacy Display is the real winner—flip it on and side-viewers can't see a thing on the train or wherever; it's legit useful privacy built right in. Solid upgrade overall!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26+ is simply put.. An amazing phone. It's 120hz amoled x2 screen is beautiful. It's snappy, with no signs of lag no matter what I throw at it. The design is solid, elegant and quality built. The only feature I find unnecessary is built in Ai. Don't get me wrong, it's useful, but tbh the Ai image editor and other Ai facets aren't perfected yet. They seldom do exactly as you ask, they produce results which can have you re-doing an image multiple times or asking Ai voice assistant to stop so you can re-phrase the question to get your desired result. Useful features, built in.. At this level? Unnecessary!

Solidly built. Seems to be responsive but overall no real difference from the 24+ worth the upgrade if you actually need a quality phone but nothing to jump for in this model. Very easy set up and transfer it was exceptionally well done. The battery life seems inconsistent right now waiting for the battery optimization ai to take over after it's initial learning phase. Camera I have yet to see a difference from the s24. Display oddly is set to standard mode. They have an option to increase the resolution off by default but based on battery so far I wonder if this model was ever intended to use that option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a premium flagship smartphone that combines powerful performance, a stunning high-refresh-rate AMOLED display, and an advanced multi-camera system designed for high-quality photos and impressive zoom capabilities. Its sleek design, strong battery life, and smooth software experience make it ideal for users who want top-tier performance for gaming, photography, and everyday tasks. Although it comes with a high price tag and a large form factor, the S26 Ultra delivers a well-rounded and feature-rich Android experience that stands among the best in the flagship smartphone market.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the Galaxy S26 recently and have been really impressed so far. The phone feels premium in the hand and runs smoothly even when switching between apps and multitasking. The camera takes sharp, vibrant photos and performs well in different lighting conditions. Battery life has been reliable throughout the day and charging has been convenient. I also like the display quality and overall design. There are lots of small improvements that make everyday use feel easier and more polished. Overall, it feels like a well thought out upgrade and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a premium Android phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought Samsung S26+ in colour white, that was change from Samsung S25. Is absolutely great, working fast (my son constantly downloading some crap games normaly speed would be affected) screen is definitely improve. When I take pictures and send them to family they saying "you have great camera". Battery holding well. I couldn't make my mind about colour, was going to choose pink gold but at the end I choose white and is so beautiful, looks classy, back is not shine is more matt which I prefer. My use phone is every day use chucking to hand bag, holding by 5year old, hanging in car and was a bit worry about not having protection especially for lens but they still scrach free !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded in my old S21 Ultra with Telstra for a new S26 phone one week ago and am absolutely delighted with my new phone. As much as I loved my old phone it was a large phone and I deliberately chose the S26 because of its smaller size. It fits so much better in my shirt pocket and is much lighter and is a refreshing change. I am also impressed with the AI features and the really good pictures from its camera as well as it's great bright display. Being smaller, but not too small feels just right in my hand and it was a great choice. I far prefer it to the larger sizes still offered and its just perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this phone after my old Galaxy S21 kept popping up a notification that my battery was basically dying. It was getting very slow and not holding its charge. I loved my S21. Upgrading to the S26+ was an easy decision for me. It's not much bigger in dimensions to the S21, so that's a plus for me. The camera is just flippin awesome. I took some great shots at the zoo of the butterflies, and the quality, clarity of the close ups, is definitely 10 steps up from the S21. I'm still working my way around all the new features, but this phone is super fast. And setting it up with Smart Switch kept everything how I had it set-up on the S21. I hope I get 5 to 6 years out of the S26+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24+. To be honest I expected to notice a bigger difference but it's all kind of bland. No wow factor whatsoever. I don't notice any speed increases or much difference at all. I've used Samsung for over 10 years and always buy my phones outright. I feel like nothing much has changed for many, many years. I really wish they'd done the charging magnets on the back. A big let down that wasn't included. The AI stuff is ho-hum too. On the up side, it's a solid phone and works as expected. I feel like all the fanfair was towards the Ultra phone. Some of us want smaller phones (not that this is much smaller) with the same features like the privacy screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im so happy i bit the bullet and bought one. My old phone was getting a little to old and overheating and playing up a bit. It was time. And i glad i did. The +plus size is a tiny bit noticeable in my hands, but the bigger screen area is awesome. Beautiful clear screen, easy to operate and was a super easy transition over from old phone to new just plugging both phones together and voila'. I still have to figure out pictures, as my old phone had them all organised a certain way, but the new is different. Only thing i probably wish hadn't changed, but I'll figure that out. Otherwise super dooper happy with my new purchase. The pink/gold colour i bought is really pretty too! No regrets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an amazing piece of equipment. I upgraded from the S23 FE. The S26+ has a larger screen and is so much lighter. I’m yet to buy a case for my shiny new phone, but I’m worried about the weight and size it will add. The phone is very responsive, does not lag at all. The battery is much better and lasts a lot longer for me. The camera quality both on the front and rear are amazing. One of my friends, who uploads shorts on social media was blown away with the quality. I've had so many comments about how great it looks and feels, definitely recommended. Well done Samsung, you have excelled once again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from an S23. Somewhat better functionality, currently searching for how to disable the side bars and wallet swipe features, handy if they're things you would use frequently but that aspect is not something that appeals to me personally. Faster load times for some apps, I've had a few connectivity issues with third party devices needing to be resynced to handset with every use, such as Logitech headphones. It could be a me problem, I'm not always savvy enough troubleshooting those types of problems and sometimes I just cannot be a*sed. Does what I need it to other than that. Good 9/10.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The display on the Galaxy S26 Plus is absolutely gorgeous. The performance is incredibly snappy—no lag even with dozens of apps open, and the interface is smooth and intuitive, making navigation feel effortless. What surprised me most was the battery life; I’m comfortably getting through a full day of heavy use with plenty of charge to spare. The camera takes stunning, professional-grade photos in almost any lighting, capturing every detail perfectly. Plus, the build quality gives me a lot of confidence in its durability, it feels solid, premium, and ready for daily wear and tear. Highly recommend!

I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 and I'm very impressed with the overall experience. The performance is fast and smooth, allowing apps, multitasking, and gaming to run without issues. The display is bright, sharp, and vibrant, making videos and everyday use enjoyable. The camera captures detailed photos with excellent colors in different lighting conditions. Battery life is reliable and easily lasts through a full day of regular use. The phone also feels premium and durable, with a solid build quality that gives confidence for long-term use. Samsung has delivered an excellent flagship device with a great balance of performance, camera quality, display, battery life, and durability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I updated from a Samsung S23 to the S26 a couple of weeks ago and I am very happy with the purchase. Moving from a S23 to a S26, the phone and its layout, apps and settings were really familiar so the changeover was not a issue. The phone itself has a slightly larger screen but is slimmer and doesn't feel bulky or large in the hand. It is quick, has a crisp clear display and to me, it is easy to use. The Galaxy AI is a help and isn't overly intrusive. This is my 4th Samsung phone, so they must be doing something right. I think the Samsung S26 is a great phone and a nice improvement over my S23.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Galaxy S26 Plus and I absolutely love it. The 512GB of storage is a lifesaver for all my 4K videos and apps. The camera takes stunning, crisp photos, especially at night. The user interface is incredibly snappy, and the battery easily lasts me through a heavy day of use. The build quality feels premium and durable. Definitely worth the investment! Privacy screen is just WOW!

The performance of the Samsung Galaxy S26 is outstanding. The phone delivers a remarkably smooth daily experience. Samsung has achieved an excellent combination by pairing their software optimization with the new Exynos processor. Applications launch instantly, animations feel fluid, and multitasking is completely seamless. It handles heavy workloads and gaming without lagging or overheating. This hardware and software synergy makes the device feel incredibly responsive and reliable. Man the exynos is only made for samsung and samsung fans used s24 also but the smoothness in s26 is also improved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from an S21 FE a couple of weeks' ago, so still settling in I guess, but the quality is obvious from the moment the box is opened! Transferring from the old phone was a breeze and facilitated by the inbuilt process. I managed to get it up and running with minimum fuss and bother - familiarity with OneUI and Samsung's phones probably helped. I took the phone camping over the Easter weekend and put the camera through it's paces with fantastic results! Night time shots were just what I expected and gave me the photos I wanted. There's a wee glitch with the wallet when I open it... keeping my eye on it and if it's an ongoing problem I can't fix, will be taking it back to Samsung.

It’s OK. I am having to add my contacts as they didn’t transfer over. However I seem to have a lot of names I don’t know so don’t have to add them. Every time I get or make a call this irritating window pops up with suggestions such as leave a message, can’t talk right now - no idea how to get rid of it permanently. Also these adverts pop up. I hate that and don’t want to see them. The phone kept changing time zones on me - very frustrating when putting in appointments. I think I fixed this but wonder why it decided to do that. My notifications aren’t working like they did on my old phone. I have no idea how to get new notification sounds either. Not very user friendly for seniors!
