Android Authority: Review — the S26 is the Samsung "most people should buy"

AI summary

Machine translated · Original language: Chinese (Taiwan)

Key points

  • Argument: everyone treats the Ultra as the star, but for most people the one-hand-friendly S26 makes the most sense. The S26 is 6.3 inches and about 167 grams, versus 6.7 inches / 190 grams for the S26+ and 6.9 inches / 214 grams for the Ultra — a big difference in daily handling.
  • Performance: opening the camera, switching apps and editing video all "feel instant" day to day; most people will never hit the performance ceiling.
  • The 4,300mAh battery so far looks like a reliable all-day phone.
  • Cameras: the same lens setup since the S23 is disappointing, and there's still shutter lag with moving subjects; but everyday, social, food and 3x zoom shots remain reliable.
  • On AI, he thinks the features people will actually keep using are simple ones like Circle to Search, object eraser and photo remaster, not the flashy launch-event demos.
  • The hardest thing to defend is the price: from $899 in the US (12GB / 256GB base). Upgrading from an S23 or older is very worthwhile; S24 users can wait another generation; it's a great entry point for iPhone users wanting to try Android.

✅ Pros

  • Truly one-hand-friendly size and weight
  • Smooth everyday performance and a complete flagship experience
  • Reliable all-day battery life
  • Practical AI features (Circle to Search, object eraser) that are easy to pick up

❌ Cons

  • Camera hardware unchanged since the S23; shutter lag with moving subjects
  • From $899 — the price increase is out of proportion to the upgrades
  • Little reason for S24 users to upgrade

📝 Verdict

"The Galaxy S26 is not a consolation prize." — Suited to most people who value handling and everyday use, as well as those upgrading from pre-S23 models or iPhone users wanting to try Android; only frequent zoom users, heavy shooters or those who need the S Pen need the Ultra.

Android Authority：評測——S26 才是「大多數人該買」的三星

來源

重點摘要

  • 主張：大家把 Ultra 當主角，但對多數人而言，單手好用的 S26 才最合理。S26 為 6.3 吋、約 167 克，相比 S26+ 的 6.7 吋／190 克、Ultra 的 6.9 吋／214 克，日常手感差很多。
  • 效能：日常開相機、切換 App、剪片都「感覺瞬間完成」，大多數人碰不到效能天花板。
  • 4,300mAh 電池目前看來是可靠的一天機。
  • 相機：與 S23 起相同的鏡頭配置令人失望，拍移動主體仍有快門延遲問題；但日常、社群、美食與 3 倍變焦依然可靠。
  • AI 方面，他認為真正會長期使用的是 Circle to Search、物件清除、照片重製這類簡單功能，而非發表會上的炫技 demo。
  • 最難辯護的是價格：美國 899 美元起（12GB／256GB 起跳）。從 S23 或更舊機種升級很值得；S24 用戶可再等一代；想試 Android 的 iPhone 用戶是很好的入門。

✅ 優點

  • 尺寸與重量真正單手友善
  • 日常效能流暢，旗艦體驗完整
  • 一天續航可靠
  • 實用 AI 功能（Circle to Search、物件清除）好上手

❌ 缺點

  • 相機硬體自 S23 以來沒變，移動主體易有快門延遲
  • 899 美元起，漲價與升級幅度不成正比
  • 對 S24 用戶升級誘因低

📝 總結評語

「Galaxy S26 不是安慰獎。」 — 適合重視手感、日常使用的大多數人，以及從 S23 以前機種升級或想嘗試 Android 的 iPhone 用戶；常用變焦、大量拍攝或需要 S Pen 的人才需要 Ultra。

GSMArena: Full review — "Small size, smaller ambition": better battery life but no surprises

AI summary

Machine translated · Original language: Chinese (Taiwan)

Source

Key points

  • The screen grows from 6.2 to 6.3 inches, the body is slightly larger, and a small camera bump appears; it looks like a shrunken Ultra. IP68.
  • Screen brightness is similar to the previous generation: nearly 1,400 nits measured in auto mode and over 2,500 nits in a small area; readable outdoors but without the Ultra's anti-reflective coating, and still an 8-bit panel. The stereo speakers are tuned to be more balanced and warm.
  • The chip varies by region: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy in the US, China and Japan, and Exynos 2600 elsewhere. The Exynos version they tested shows limited benchmark gains and noticeable throttling in long stress tests.
  • The battery grows from 4,000 to 4,300mAh, and battery life is clearly better (an Active Use score of over 15 hours); wired charging is still 25W but measured faster than the previous generation (over 60% in half an hour); it supports 15W Qi2 but has no built-in magnets.
  • The rear camera hardware is the same as the previous generation; the front camera is now wider with autofocus. The main camera performs well by day, while the 3x telephoto and ultrawide lack sharpness; night shots are soft and noisy; electronic stabilization is among the best in the industry.

✅ Pros

  • Much better battery life than the previous generation
  • Compact phone with complete build quality and IP68 protection
  • Wider selfie camera with autofocus and excellent image quality
  • Excellent video stabilization and better speaker sound

❌ Cons

  • Carried-over rear camera hardware; average telephoto and ultrawide image quality
  • Limited performance gains on the Exynos version, with throttling under sustained load
  • 25W charging, no built-in magnets, no anti-reflective coating
  • The 128GB version is dropped, and there are better-specced rivals among compact flagships

📝 Verdict

"The S26 is a good phone worth considering, but apart from battery life, none of these upgrades really change the game." — Suited to those who want a compact Samsung flagship; if you look only at specs and price, there are already better-specced compact flagships at the same price.

GSMArena：完整評測——「尺寸小，野心更小」，續航進步但缺乏驚喜

來源

重點摘要

  • 螢幕從 6.2 吋加大到 6.3 吋，機身略大、出現小相機凸起，外觀像縮小版 Ultra；IP68。
  • 螢幕亮度與前代相近：自動模式實測近 1,400 nits、小面積超過 2,500 nits，戶外可讀但沒有 Ultra 的抗反射塗層，仍是 8-bit 面板。立體聲喇叭調音更平衡溫暖。
  • 晶片依地區不同：美國、中國、日本為 Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy，其他地區為 Exynos 2600。他們測的 Exynos 版跑分進步有限，長時間壓力測試降頻明顯。
  • 電池由 4,000 提升到 4,300mAh，續航明顯變好（Active Use 分數超過 15 小時）；有線充電仍為 25W 但實測比前代快（半小時超過 60%）；支援 15W Qi2 但機身無磁鐵。
  • 後鏡頭硬體與前代相同，前鏡頭換成更廣角且有自動對焦。主鏡白天表現好，3 倍長焦與超廣角銳利度不足；夜拍軟、有雜訊；電子防震是業界最好之一。

✅ 優點

  • 續航比前代大幅進步
  • 手機小巧、做工與 IP68 防護完整
  • 自拍鏡頭更廣、自動對焦，畫質優秀
  • 錄影防震非常出色，喇叭音質更好

❌ 缺點

  • 後鏡頭硬體沿用，長焦與超廣角畫質普通
  • Exynos 版效能升級有限，長時間負載降頻
  • 25W 充電、無內建磁吸，無抗反射塗層
  • 取消 128GB 版本，同級小旗艦有規格更好的對手

📝 總結評語

「S26 是一支值得考慮的好手機，但除了續航之外，這些升級都沒有真正改變局面。」 — 適合想要小尺寸三星旗艦的人；若只看規格與價格，市面上已有同價位、規格更好的小旗艦。

Tech Spurt: Full review — compact, easy to use and solid performance, but battery life and cameras hold it back

AI summary Used for 1 month

Key points

  • Starts at £879 in the UK. The 6.3-inch body feels the best in hand of the S26 series and slips easily into a pocket; after a week of caseless use, no scratches are visible on the frame or screen. The ultrasonic fingerprint reader works well.
  • One UI 8.5: Call Screening is the best new feature; Now Nudge only works with Samsung's own apps — switch to Gboard and it stops working — and it's picky about wording when understanding messages. Seven years of OS and security updates are guaranteed.
  • The FHD+ screen is sharp with good contrast, but lacks the Ultra's anti-glare and privacy display; PWM dimming is poor, so flicker-sensitive users should take note. The speakers are loud and clear.
  • The Exynos 2600 version performs well: frame rates stay stable in long high-settings gaming sessions, it only gets slightly warm, and no throttling was noticed.
  • Battery life is the biggest problem: as a heavy user he couldn't get through a day; typical mixed use gives about 5–6 hours of screen-on time, and heavy gaming lasts about 2 hours 45 minutes from full; 25W wired charging is slow, and magnetic wireless charging requires a special case.
  • The camera hardware is the same as the previous generation, with warm tones and lifted shadows; moving subjects (such as pets) often come out blurry. Video supports 8K, horizon lock and log, but not the Ultra's APV codec.

✅ Pros

  • Compact with a great feel in hand, and good scratch resistance
  • The Exynos 2600 version delivers stable gaming performance without getting hot
  • Practical Call Screening and 7 years of updates
  • Stereo speakers and a complete set of video features

❌ Cons

  • Doesn't last a day with heavy use, and charging is only 25W
  • Carried-over camera hardware; moving subjects blur easily
  • Poor PWM dimming, no anti-glare
  • Now Nudge is tied to Samsung's ecosystem, with limited practicality

📝 Verdict

"Compact, great performance, some nice new features, but the battery life and cameras aren't good enough." — Worth considering for light users who value one-handed comfort; heavy users, he'd lean toward smaller rivals with bigger batteries.

Tech Spurt：完整評測——小巧好用、效能穩，但續航與相機拖後腿

來源

重點摘要

  • 英國售價 879 英鎊起。6.3 吋機身是 S26 系列中手感最好的一支，口袋好收；裸機使用一週，邊框與螢幕看不到刮痕。超音波指紋好用。
  • One UI 8.5：通話篩選是最棒的新功能；Now Nudge 必須搭配三星自家 App，換成 Gboard 就無法運作，理解訊息也很挑措辭。保證 7 年系統與安全更新。
  • FHD+ 螢幕清晰、對比佳，但沒有 Ultra 的抗眩光與防窺；PWM 調光表現不佳，對閃爍敏感者要注意。喇叭音量大、清晰。
  • Exynos 2600 版效能良好：長時間玩高畫質遊戲幀率穩定、溫度僅微溫、沒有察覺降頻。
  • 續航是最大問題：身為重度用戶他撐不過一天，一般混用約 5–6 小時亮螢幕，重度遊戲滿電約 2 小時 45 分；25W 有線充電偏慢，磁吸無線充電需要特殊手機殼。
  • 相機硬體與前代相同，色調偏暖、會提亮陰影；移動中的主體（例如寵物）常常拍糊。錄影支援 8K、水平鎖定與 log，但沒有 Ultra 的 APV 編碼。

✅ 優點

  • 小巧手感佳、耐刮表現不錯
  • Exynos 2600 版遊戲效能穩定、不燙
  • 通話篩選實用，7 年更新支援
  • 立體聲喇叭與錄影功能完整

❌ 缺點

  • 重度使用撐不過一天，充電只有 25W
  • 相機硬體沿用，動態主體易糊
  • PWM 調光差、無抗眩光
  • Now Nudge 綁定三星生態、實用性有限

📝 總結評語

「小巧、效能出色、有些不錯的新功能，但續航和相機都不夠好。」 — 輕度使用、重視單手手感的人可以考慮；重度用戶他會更傾向電池更大的小型對手。

Austin Evans: Hands-on take — the base S26 is "flat, even close to a step backward"

AI summary Used for 1 month

Machine translated · Original language: Chinese (Taiwan)

Source

  • Video: The Problem with the Galaxy S26
  • Channel: Austin Evans | Type: Hands-on experience + industry commentary (hands-on with S26 / S26+ / S26 Ultra) | Based on: Video transcript

Key points

  • He sees two stories in the S26 series: the Ultra has real upgrades (the privacy display is this year's star), but the base S26 is a hard generation to recommend.
  • The US starting price rose from $800 to $900; although base storage is now 256GB, the base model drops mmWave; some markets outside the US (such as Europe and Korea) use the Exynos 2600.
  • The camera specs are almost identical to the S23, S24 and S25 — the same main, ultrawide and telephoto cameras for four generations, and he thinks the ultrawide and telephoto are showing their age; there's still no Qi2 magnetic charging; and there's no S26 Edge this year.
  • He speculates that rising memory costs such as RAM, and Samsung shifting internal resources toward foldables (Fold7, TriFold), explain the lack of effort in the base S series (this is his opinion and cited reports; Samsung has officially denied the reports).

✅ Pros

  • Base storage raised to 256GB
  • The whole series uses Snapdragon in the US
  • Samsung's hardware strength is still there (the Ultra's privacy display in the same series is excellent)

❌ Cons

  • Price raised by $100
  • Camera hardware almost unchanged for four consecutive generations
  • The base model drops mmWave and uses Exynos in most regions
  • Still no Qi2 magnets, and no charging speed upgrade

📝 Verdict

"The base S26 is flat, even close to a step backward — it's not really an upgrade." — If you want what's truly new from Samsung this year, look at the Ultra; the base model has little appeal for anyone already using a recent Galaxy.

Austin Evans：上手觀點——基本款 S26「持平甚至近乎退步」

來源

  • 影片：The Problem with the Galaxy S26
  • 頻道：Austin Evans｜類型：上手體驗＋產業觀點評論（同時上手 S26／S26+／S26 Ultra）｜摘要依據：影片字幕逐字稿

重點摘要

  • 他認為 S26 系列有兩個故事：Ultra 是有真正升級（防窺螢幕是今年主角），但基本款 S26 是很難推薦的一代。
  • 美國起價從 800 美元漲到 900 美元，雖然起跳改為 256GB，但基本款拿掉毫米波；美國以外部分市場（如歐洲、韓國）採用 Exynos 2600。
  • 相機規格與 S23、S24、S25 幾乎相同——同一套主鏡、超廣角與長焦用了四代，他認為超廣角與長焦已顯老態；仍沒有 Qi2 磁吸充電；今年也沒有 S26 Edge。
  • 他推測 RAM 等記憶體成本上漲、三星內部資源轉向摺疊機（Fold7、TriFold），是 S 系列基本款缺乏誠意的原因（屬他的觀點與引述報導，三星官方否認相關報導）。

✅ 優點

  • 起跳儲存提升到 256GB
  • 整個系列在美國皆為 Snapdragon
  • 三星的硬體實力仍在（同系列 Ultra 的防窺螢幕很出色）

❌ 缺點

  • 價格調漲 100 美元
  • 相機硬體連續四代幾乎沒變
  • 基本款移除毫米波，多數地區改用 Exynos
  • 仍無 Qi2 磁吸，充電速度也沒升級

📝 總結評語

「S26 基本款持平，甚至近乎退步——它其實不算一次升級。」 — 如果你想要三星今年真正的新東西，要看 Ultra；基本款對已經在用近代 Galaxy 的人吸引力很低。
