Thus, no shift to premiumism. The absence of UWB is trivial, especially when it was claimed that S26 would have it, some materials still claim it. Simply a mistake to change, moreover when there is no action of replacing the old one with a new one. I guess I'll be pushed into the apple eventually thanks to Samsung's incompetence.
weight
an absolute disappointment. Compared to the S24 I traded for, no shift
design still the same
still charging slowly
it still takes shitty pictures, but it has giant slides over the lens to make it look
TAKE CARE! Still no UWB. A lot of information says it is.
Samsung boasts about the fantastic thickness of the phone! but my 10-year-old Huawei P30 is even thinner.
I've been using the phone for a short time, but within just a few moments, one realizes that it's a step ahead again in terms of the fluidity and functionality of the device. We'll see if Exynos can keep up with Snapdragon. The S25 remains in use, so we'll see how both processors look after some time of use. The cameras are still the same. It's sad that with such a compact device change still isn't happening, I think if they upgraded the cameras, a phone this small would have a lot more takers. S25 sometimes slightly overheated - when charging and under heavy load, here so far there is no sign of overheating, so hopefully it will last. AI is fine, but that's not everything these days. Super Dual SIM + eSim, for the person who needs multiple numbers in one device and doesn't want to walk around with 2 phones. The battery is a bit bigger, so we'll see how it holds up after some time of operation. Otherwise, it's simply Samsung. Once you get used to the One UI environment, not much surprises you anymore. All in all, I recommend it.
The phone is great for everyday use although there are details in which competitors can beat it. But considering everything I've had the opportunity to try, it's probably the most comprehensive device on the market as its predecessors were as well.
Excellent brightness
A camera a cut above its predecessor
System speed and fluidity
Even though samsung tries with antennas and connectivity it still doesn't match the Asus Zenfone 10
I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 mainly because of its compact size as an upgrade from the S24, which is passing on in the family. If one wants a quality compact Android, there's not much choice. S26 or Google Pixel. In the comparison, Samsung won.
Everything works as one expects from Samsung S series.
Long SW support
Light, thin, compact.
Excellent display
It would need better cameras
No significant improvement over the S24, at least at first glance. Pretty bulky protrusion with cameras
Compared to the S24, the smart wallet clear view case is missing
I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 mainly because of its compact size and compatibility with QuadLock cases. QuadLock doesn't support virtually any other Androids besides the Samsung S series and Google Pixels. I was switching from the Samsung S22 and wanted to keep similar dimensions, so I was considering the S25, S26 and Pixel 10.
I ruled out the S25 because of the pre-order bonuses on the S26, so in the final analysis I was left with a dilemma between the S26 and the Pixel 10. I opted for the S26 - mainly because of the new Exynos 2600 and the One UI, which has suited me better than pure Android in the long run.
The phone arrived with One UI 8.5 and honestly it's not quite what I expect from Samsung. You can see that the software is not quite ready yet. There are elements of pure Android in a few places, and some features look like they're done by Google. (Extend Unlock)
That wouldn't matter in itself, but every few days my Wi-Fi stops working and I have to switch to mobile data. I hope the move to One UI 9 will solve this. On the other hand, most of the time everything runs perfectly smoothly. The speed of the system and applications is excellent.
The Exynos 2600 was really good for Samsung. In more demanding games, it keeps FPS high and performance is stable. Admittedly, this turns the phone into a small direct heater, but that's almost inevitable in compact phones with a powerful chip. The important thing is that the power is really there.
The difference is most visible in the battery. I had to charge the S22 every night, otherwise it didn't last until the evening. The S26 can handle two days on a single charge with light to moderate use. I've seen this with the iPhone 17 and I'm glad Samsung can do it too.
The camera is reliable and the photos look very good. I wasn't expecting a revolution, especially from the 2023 lenses, but I'm getting consistent results that won't offend even the most demanding users. The only pity is that the macro is missing.
Choosing a phone is like choosing a car. Performance is fine, but at the end of the day, the most important thing is that it starts reliably and gets you where you need to go every day. Moore's law is dead, so we can no longer expect dramatic jumps in every generation.
The Galaxy S26 is a small, solid and powerful flagship. The only thing stopping it from being a really great phone now is the unfinished software. If Samsung quickly releases One UI 9 and fixes bugs and adds missing features, this device will be exactly what I expected from it.
I bought this phone knowing that in terms of parameters it is not the best value purchase on the market. The charging speed could, or rather should, be higher. The display resolution could also be higher, although the display looks very nice. The battery could also be bigger and the cameras, which have been identical for several years, need not be mentioned. But even so, the photos and videos are perfectly adequate for the needs of the ordinary user. However, from the user side, there is nothing to complain about, the phone looks premium, fits beautifully in the hand, is light. The system is fast, the fingerprint reader is reliable and the battery holds up thanks to good optimization. I can't rate the AI features because I don't have enough experience with using them yet. But even though I am aware of the various shortcomings I bought this phone and I am perfectly happy with it.
Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by the phone. A big plus is its shape, size and weight The device is comfortable in the hand, not unnecessarily heavy and looks compact. I also really like the software, especially the look of the Samsung One UI, which is clear, modern and easy to use. Another strong point is the cameras and the quality of the photos which is excellent both in daylight and in low light. The only major minus I see is the charging speed. The phone only supports 25W wired charging, which is a rather slower standard than some competing phones today. Overall, however, I am very happy with the phone.
