Stunning Battery Life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an S22, I was not expecting a massive change in functionality but this S26 marks a real upgrade in terms of battery life, I can use it pretty much between 10 and 12 hours a day and still have plenty of battery left at the end of the day is amazing. Everything is fluid, clear and I was able to transfer everything across from my old phone with no issues. Apps are super responsive, switching between apps is super quick and easy, split screen is still a winner in my eyes. Speakers are great too, not tinny or super quiet. The camera is awesome too, plenty of options to be able to change settings and apply filters directly before even shooting photo's. I've used the remove items ai tool a couple of times and it works really well, the ai fills in well and doesn't look out of place or replace the item with something completely different. I'm super happy with this upgrade, I'll definately be sticking with the Galaxy products as they work for me.

S26 512 GB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ve had this phone for over 2 weeks ,it's really easy to use the camera quality is really good ,I find the phone slightly heavier then my previous s10 ,the screen size is the same as my previous phone. It would've been a good idea if the handset would come with a factory fitted screen protector and cover. The phone doesn't need charging often once a day is fine I find the handset is good value for money

Galaxy S26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can't say how happy I am with this new samsung. The quality of the camera is something else, much clearer than my previous S24 which was pretty good! The size of the phone is perfect, not too big or small. Its also very fast when searching or scrolling, the screen is so clear and vibrant. Only had it a day and already see how good it is going to be. Still got a lot to explore on the S26 but loving it already!! This phone is slightly bigger than my previous one, however it doesn't feel heavier. The touch screen is smooth and doesn't lag. I would definitely recommend this phone to my friends and family.

Overall good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm quite happy with my new Samsung Galaxy S26, it looks similar to my S25, it is just a bit bigger in screen size. Changing to a new phone is easy enough (unfortunately not that easy with bank apps). I really hope that the battery is improved, as it holds charge for 2.5 days now, as normally it does when the phone is new, but after using for 2-3 months battery life dropping drastically. Overall good quality phone.

Refinded Daily Usability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an upgrade to my S25. I prefer light phones and S26 fits this category by being extremely light feel in the hands. After using int for a week + I think it blends innovation with refined daily usability. The display is crisp, making everything from streaming to scrolling feel incredibly immersive. The upgraded camera is slightly better than the S25 which also blends in the use for AI for pictures that you take. The battery comfortably outlasts a full day(at least for now) after a full day of heavy use. Really like the phone and it's sleek design.

Loving it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my phone for a whole week and its been a fantastic experience. Samsung has had some great phones over the years and this one does not disappoint. First of all, I love the beautiful sleek design. The build quality feels very solid and durable. The screen is very clear and vibrant . The privacy screen works brilliantly and the camera is out of this world! The AI features is what makes it stand out because it allow you to produce professional quality images. I have just scratched the surface of it and it's been a delight! Transferring files and data from my old phone to this was supper quick and hassle free. I find that it is a very easy phone to use, the apps are easy to navigate with hints and tips of how use the functions and features on the phone. The phone also has a great speaker which produces quality sound for music, movies and for making and receiving calls. It has a decent battery life and it charges very quick too. Its an all rounder and a joy to own.

S26 512mb black
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly, let's talk physical, it is very light, slim and fits nicely into my hand. Can easily work with it for many hours. I like that it is smaller than others in the 26 range, easier to carry and more comfortable to hold. The camera is pretty good and we have been challenging it, in many different levels of light as a photograph captures so much, nothing worse than missing out on a special moment because of a useless camera. The main camera is the best and has an acceptable performance and production. There is reduction of quality towards the edge of the photos on ultra wide use, which is a let down. The battery life is decent, we can last 2-3 days woth normal usage. Heavy usage still doesn't drain battery like water! Nice rapid charge. The screen is bright and clear. Still having fun learning the new AI tools on board, like easier communication with Bixby. Small and powerful. Many other phones reduce the size and the performance takes the hit, not so with the s26. Has many good points, but for the price I'd say there is room for improvement (or buying the ultra or plus from the range!)

A worthy upgrade!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and it is great. Very quick to process things and feels lighter, despite being slightly larger, than the S25.

Great phone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as an upgrade to my s25 ultra. The performance and battery life are so much better. The display is much more clearer than before and the camera is just as god. The durability is second to none.
