[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!

DogMom . 2 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.

Best phone almost.

SoldonSamsung . 3 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not tried Galaxy AI yet, but I am looking forward to it. My last phone was a different brand that focused heavily, on sound quality; So far my S26 has had wonderful sound quality and an ease of use that rivals my former premium phone. I purchased this phone because it is just the right size to fit in the console of my suv without damaging the charging cord or port, and still keep it out of the way and in a safe place. Graphics on this device are exemplary as well, the crispness of screen content is a relief from some of my previous phones. The cost was also a major selling point for me. The price I purchased this phone for, along with the quality, and thoughtfulness of this devices design is well worth what I paid. Thanks Samsung for making a great re-entry phone.

Clamgergsey . 3 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The weight and size of the phone is comfortable, even in one hand mode. Alot of features the phone comes with, Samsung, made sure to give you that fun new phone feel that never dissapoints. Camera is pretty good until you zoom in on things further away so that should be worked on. Speakers are still good evennafter 6 months. No delays, lag, etc when it comes to the touch screen or facial recognition. Overall this phone gets a 4 out of 5 ONLY because the ultra is the only one with the privacy screen that comes with the phone. Not fair Samsung, not fair lol.

Superino . 3 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a great product. I've been using the galaxy product line for a while now, all the way to the Discover back in 2012. Why I am still with Samsung? Because of their quality product. I consider myself careful and still can say, this phones can take a beating. I use it for work and my daily life, and only I become slower. The fast performance, the touchscreen responsiveness, it is more than enough for the regular folk. I do like to thinker with the android OS and the Galaxy AI, and the ease of use for developper features makes this all the more simpler for me to create what I want.

Camera pixalates when using a 3rd party

zVixenz . 4 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera pixelates while using a third party app, like Google messages or any other app. When I use it alone it doesn't pixelate. I put it to factory settings and start downloading apps slowly. Nothing changes still messed up with the third party apps.

Mostly a Smooth Transition

Scottso . 4 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While replacing my old Samsung S21 with the new S26, much was identical to the original phone. Transferring all of my data to the new phone was a cinch. The only drawback for me, is that the older phone held a better signal in the newer S26 in the same areas. I can't really explain why, but that's my complaint.

Great Phone Performance, But AI Needs More Control

Bluesky . 4 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 and overall I'm very happy with it. The phone runs extremely smooth, apps open quickly, and multitasking feels fast and responsive. Battery life has been solid for my daily use, and the overall experience feels polished and reliable. One feature I especially enjoy is the call assistant. It's very helpful when I receive calls from unknown numbers because it can answer the phone and ask the caller what they want before I decide whether to pick up. This helps reduce spam calls and saves me time. My biggest concern is the growing use of AI throughout the phone. While some AI features can be useful, I feel like there are too many AI-focused features being pushed into the experience. I would like more control over which AI features I use and which ones I can easily disable. Despite that concern, the Galaxy S26 is still a great smartphone with excellent performance, a smooth user experience, and useful features that make everyday tasks easier. If Samsung gives users more flexibility with AI features, this would easily be a 5-star phone for me.

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.
