What reviewers say

Good

  • Premium build
  • Excellent LTPO AMOLED
  • Very good battery life
  • Strong sustained Exynos 2600 performance
  • Seven years of updates
  • Autofocus selfie camera
  • Versatile video tools

Not so good

  • Tiny upgrade over S25+
  • Only IP68
  • No 10-bit, high-frequency PWM or Dolby Vision
  • Awkward night mode
  • No 4K120 video
  • Slow charging versus rivals
  • Same camera hardware as before
  • GSMArenaNot recommendedMar 2026

    Easy to like but hard to recommend: a polished big-screen Galaxy that changes little from the S25+ and costs more than the S26.

  • Smartprix82/100May 2026

    A safe, small step forward that sits in the middle of the range without leading on camera, speed or price.

  • TechRadar80/100Apr 2026

    A very good Android phone but not the best, with a price rise and no camera upgrade.

  • Tom's Guide80/100Mar 2026

    Great phone for a narrow audience: the S26 is better value and the Ultra the bigger step up.

  • The Telegraph India (t2)RecommendedMar 2026

    The India Exynos model holds up well under load; the Plus is for those who want a bigger, sharper screen without going Ultra.
