Description

The Samsung Galaxy S26 256GB Light Blue 5G is a compact high-end smartphone with a built-in AI assistant. With Galaxy AI, you can perform tasks by asking 1 question without opening an app and edit your photos by writing a prompt. Thanks to the 6.3-inch Full HD screen, the Samsung S26 easily fits in your pocket. The Galaxy S26 is suitable for the most demanding tasks. On the back of the Samsung S26, you can find 3 cameras: a standard lens, a wide-angle lens, and a telephoto lens. With these, you can also take razor-sharp photos and record 8K videos in low light. The 4300mAh battery of the S26 is on the small side. With intensive use, you need to charge the device during the day. You can do this with a separately available 25W fast charger. On the large 256GB storage, there's space for photos, apps, and other files. Choose the 512GB version if you need more space to download movies and series, for example.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Excellent device

The phone works excellently and I am very happy with it. The only downside is that I couldn't find any explicit information anywhere stating that the S26 didn't have a privacy screen, whereas I did find that the S26 Ultra did. Otherwise, the phone is very fast, compact, and has good camera quality.

Great device for a great price!

The S26 is essentially a device that has it all: easy calling, fully equipped with AI, and easy to handle thanks to its size and weight. In short, a complete and simply well-equipped device.

Great upgrades compared to the S23

The mobile is really super. It is very fast. The colors are beautiful and transferring everything was really easy. Very beautiful photos and the AI in particular is really extensive. Absolutely top-notch. I am really HAPPY
