I had S20 back then when its new in 2020, and the experience are horrible, just because one thing: the Exynos 990. That alone could ruin the goodness of the other hardware like its display, its cameras, and its design. Because the SoC is that worse, i couldn't even enjoy all the goodness because it was too hot.
So between the A26 and the S20 that you pointed out, i'd choose the A26 anyday

Stop demanding next generation features that have been tried and tested for decades.
Just kidding. Everyone in their right mind should boycott phones that are missing essential features.
Vote with your wallet.

Matthewoli98 , 02 Apr 2025I understand the hate for removing the stereo speakers, but... morethe only difference ive noticed with a26 and a36 other than price difference is that with a36 you have a hole punch camera and on a26 you have a notch, you could also argue that the a36 has a faster chip but its practically the same. honestly just go for the a25 at that point, a25 and a26 are the same phone a26 just has a slightly larger screen.

why would people buy this phone when you could get a s20 for cheaper? or even a s20+?, pay less or around same price and you get a flagship with better spec. maybe in a year when this a26 gets lower in price it would be more viable but in todays current market phone prices barely make sense unless your going for a ultra or a pro max other.

Yet another reviewer that refuses to mention that the audio is now mono on the a2y where it was stereo on the a25. That's a serious downgrade. It makes me wonder if Samsung is threatening you guys against saying anything about it? The review is on YouTube from India have mentioned it. The Samsung specs also show that.

Is Samsung threatening you reviewers if you mention that it is now running a MONO speaker instead of stereo, like the A25 had? Literally every non-Indian YouTuber is saying nothing about the audio. Even here we are used to seeing how it does on the sound chart, but you completely avoided mentioning anything about sound.

Nothing and Motorola are best for midrange phones
I'll skip Samsung this time.
S series are overpriced.
A series are scrap.

Another phone that Samsung produces just to cover the segment's market share. Not even competing in terms of feature-set.

Apart from updates, I don't understand why people would bought this instead of cheaper A35 or A54. And no, we're not even comparing it to another brand yet.

The Underdog, 01 Apr 2025Samsung really need to up their game now, and I say that as... moreI agree with The Underdog. Many times I have passed on feedback re: no SDslot = no sale but it seems to be ignored, or only included with the most basic models and chipsets. Yes, I understand to pros of cloud storage but it's less useful when you're outside range of reception. IMO nothing beats the convenience of just swapping out an SD to me, especially when you have a faulty screen and can't unlock the device.

I understand the hate for removing the stereo speakers, but the A26 literally has pretty.much the same performance CPU wise as the A36. The A36 is the real underperformer of the Samsung mid-rangers, but Samsung needs to up its game and stop believing that AI gimmicks will save them from being uncompetitive spec wise and price wise.

Samsung missed out on the opportunity to shame the iPhone 16e. The missing stereo speakers (from last year) is the cherry on top.
