Samsung Galaxy A26 5G Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.6/10
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A26 is a great option for those looking for a smartphone with a sleek design, a vibrant display, and fluid, reliable software. It also has an excellent selfie camera and offers the longest software support policy in its price bracket. However, there are a few trade-offs to keep in mind. The phone's rear cameras leave room for improvement, there is no charger in the box, and you only get a single speaker.
Pros
- Sleek design with IP67 rating
- Vibrant AMOLED display
- 6 years of software support
- Decent selfie camera
Cons
- Cameras need improvement
- No charger in the box
- Single speaker
Design and display
+
The Galaxy A26 looks similar to its predecessor, with a few refinements. The rear cameras now sit in a pill-shaped module, helping it stand apart from the Galaxy S-series. The back panel is made of glass which adds to the premium fell. It smudges rather easily resists but is fingerprints to some extent.

Cameras
+
The Galaxy A26 uses a similar camera setup as its predecessor, featuring a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro lens. There's a 13MP snapper on the front for selfies and video calls. As mentioned, the rear cameras now come in a pill-shaped module, which sets the Galaxy A26 apart from its pricier Galaxy A-series siblings.

Performance and software
+
The Samsung Exynos 1380 SoC powers the Galaxy A26, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The storage is further expandable with a microSD card. In terms of performance, the phone works pretty well for day-to-day use and general purposes.

Battery and charging
+
The phone packs the same 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. Samsung could've considered adding a bigger unit, as 5,500mAh to 6,000mAh batteries are slowly becoming the norm in this segment, with a few outliers even pushing up to 7,000mAh.
