      It's pretty simple, you can get better phones in every department for the same price, if you wanna waste money on this be my guest, think we found who you're talking about though.

        Imagine paying 300€ for 4gb ram 🤣🤣 Samsung is delusional

          Budget is A1x, A0x. And before those, the J lineup was mostly budget.

          A series has always been midrange, with 3 models (low, mid, high). Easier than ever to notice now that they cut several other models of this lineup. A2x (low), A3x (mid), A5x (high), or so goes the idea but we know how much Samsung loves to sell the same thing every year.

          Anyways, aside from meh, they dropped the headphone jack, so another nail in the coffin for Samsung. They cut their production costs and want you to "pay" extra to use their earbuds due to a problem they themselves created.

            Kind of sad how poco x7 pro is around the price of A26 but beats out even A56 and is competitive against 24 FE.

              The colors look nice, everything else meh

                I don't get all these retarded comments, it's just a budget phone, what you expect? Flagship performance? Also the reviewer, seriously...It's a budget phone FFS

                  Samsung really need to up their game now, and I say that as a current user of their devices. I'm very much looking at alternatives for my next device if they don't step it up.

Awesome Intell... moreacually, Number 2 can be extended for xiaomi phones, i've done that with my note 10 pro for a very long time and it works just like always on display does... you just need to use a bit googling or look for a tutorial on youtube and be done in less than 5min.

                      Display Nits meh, battery life meh..

                        third worst phone release of 2025 (after the iPhone 17 lineup and s25 edge)

                          There is no year to year improvement it seems. It's like Samsung is planning to market this phone to a person whose last phone was bought four years ago - then this is a big leap for them. Kind of makes sense- if you buy a budget handset you're not going to buy another the next year or even the year after that.
                          This things still sucks for the price. You can find Moto G Stylus '24 for half the money all day on amazon and get everything but the updates.

                            A54 cheaper than A26
                            A26 E-Waste rebadging

                              10 reasons to get Galaxy A26 over A25:

                              1. Awesome Intelligence (actually a nice addition beacuse Samsung is limiting it to Galaxy A34 and above, A54 and above, with no support for A25)
                              2. 6 OS updates, 6 year security updates from Android 15 over 4+5 from 14
                              3. Yes

                              10 reasons to get Poco X7 Pro over A26:
                              1. Higher resolution
                              2. Tap to see time for 10 seconds (A26 actually doesn't have AOD, none at all!)
                              3. Significantly better performance (D8400 over Exynos 1380)
                              4. UFS 4.0 over 2.2
                              5. Bigger main camera sensor (1/1.95 over 1/2.76)
                              6. Stereo speakers
                              7. Under display fingerprint
                              8. Bigger battery (which despite HyperOS terrible optimisation, has better battery life cuz of the capacity)
                              9. Faster charging
                              10. IR port

                                Of course you'll get better deals on phones that have discounts but based on launch prices in Europe the A26 is hard to beat. Will only get better value when it's on sale. No need to spend more than this really

                                  Huh, so Samsung really stopped giving a cr0p what they release nowadays, don't they?

                                    no audio jack
                                    no buy.
                                    show me NEXT mediocre phone please

                                      No 4k recording on front cam despite having chroma resolution and readout speed should be a negative.
