Cheap phone and sucky privacy policy
The phone seems to be of low quality (rinky dink, cheap). The Samsung Privacy Policy requires the user to open up much of their personal information to be sold. So the user is unable to feel comfortable in using their phone, a useful and necessary tool. The privacy policy is not about protecting the owner of the device. It's about how the owner/ user will have less priv...

Great phone
I purchased this A26 to replace my S10e. I am impressed that the "A" series phone does about everything my S model did, and more. I stayed with Samsung because I love the "Smart Switch" where I could transfer all of my apps and files from my old phone via bluetooth. It was seamless. When the transfer was completed, my new phone arranged the icons exactly like they were ...

Most preferred in the 2025 A series
The Galaxy SM-A266UZKAXAA is one of the only USA qualified phones, unlocked for all carriers.
This model, A26, rarely is price-reduced. It surpasses the A36/A56 in some ways, having a microSD slot.
It appears to be the most preferred model of the A series this year.

Great phone for great price.
The phone itself is great. The camera is amazing. The galaxy ai can be a bit intrusive at times but overall a nice feature. My only issue was the durability of the phone. The flat sides make the probability of damage higher as the metal bends easier, which is exactly what happened to mine a week after buying it. The screen broke and the side metal bent in causing the sc...

Good day 1hulkS, Thank you for your feedback on the Galaxy A26 5G. Our camera system aims to capture detailed, true-to-life colors, and we’re pleased you’ve explored its features. If your photos appear blurry, try some tips to improve clarity. When taking a shot, ensure you tap the screen to focus on the subject. If Tracking Auto-focus is enabled, the camera will lock onto the selected subject for three seconds, which may make the scene seem out of focus. Turning off Tracking AF can help. Cleaning the lens also clarifies images. You might also disable Tracking Auto-focus or reset the camera app if needed. For blurriness in third-party apps, check the app’s settings for guidance. For more tips, tricks, and troubleshooting, see the link below. Your feedback helps us enhance the quality of our lenses and processing across the Galaxy lineup. Thank you for sharing your experience and choosing Samsung. Galaxy phone or tablet camera does not focus on the subject https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001297/ -Ty Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages

I purchased this phone after my old one was stolen. I was previously using the S series, but i have to say this phone is just as good as far as meeting my needs as my old one. I am very impressed, have had no issues so far. I will always be loyal to Samsung. They set the bar when it comes to smartphones.

Response from Staples :
Hola 215junkie, Thank you for your feedback regarding the Galaxy A26 5G. This device is built to deliver consistent 5G speeds and reliable daily use. While your Galaxy phone might become warm during use, this does not impact its performance or lifespan. If the device feels excessively hot and causes discomfort, stop using it and allow it to cool down. Several factors can cause your phone to heat up, including using resource-intensive apps or features for extended periods, which increases battery consumption. Common reasons for heating include downloading large files, multitasking, running multiple apps in the background, using mobile hotspot or tethering, operating in weak signal areas, or charging with a damaged USB cable. To address overheating, ensure your device has the latest software updates, restart it regularly, turn off Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth when not needed, close power-hungry or background apps, delete unnecessary files or unused apps, and lower the screen brightness. These steps can help prevent overheating. For more detailed guidance on maintaining the device's optimal temperature, refer to the linked article below. Your feedback on temperature management and performance over time helps us enhance thermal efficiency and power management. We appreciate your input and thank you for being a Samsung customer. Keep your Galaxy device at its normal operating temperature https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002887/ -Ty Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages
