Samsung Galaxy A26 Review: Why choose?

The package only contains the USB-C cable, as now as a tradition Samsung. Nothing more and nothing less.

Samsung Galaxy A26 It is the most classic Samsung smartphones in terms of design. This smartphone is one of the first with the new design of the United Cameras in a single excellent block, luckily in reality even very little compared to its competitors. The back is in glass Gorilla Glass Foods +That is why more robust than other competitors. It is very clear, so you will have to think that the footprints can be impressed during use. The profile is in plastic instead. The smartphone is then for the first time in this water -resistant price range and dust according to the IP67 standard. Not bad!

The hardware of this smartphone was updated compared to last year, but it was not upset. We have a more powerful processor Exynos 1380 a 5 NanometrI with a maximum frequency of 2.4 GHz and 8 cores.

The GPU is a Mali G68 MP5. Again we find two differentiated versions for both RAM and internal memory: 6/8 GB in Ram and 128 or 256 GB of internal memory that is expandable via microSD, but go in the event that one of the two Nanosim turns down. Unfortunately, support for Esim is not included (here we explain how they can have them anyway).

Discreet but not surprising connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3 (this more recent yes) and a fingerprint reader on the side of the fast, but not lightning-free smartphone. Too bad for the virtual proximity sensor (again) that can give you some boredom while listening to vocal messages.

The audio is unfortunately only mono and that is it The Audio -Jack has also diedThat was on the previous generation.

The main camera is one 50 megapixel ƒ/1.8 Optically stabilized, supported by an 8 megapixel ƒ/2.2 wide angle and from a 2 megapixel macro With ƒ/2.4 opening. The latter is really not very useful, while the most important high -resolution sensor is absolutely valid.

It is a pity that there has been no resolution upgrade for the wide -angle camera, but unfortunately it is there in the price range.

The representation of the main sensor is good, restoring clear and detailed images, especially if the light is good. The background lighting is discreet, even if an more aggressive HDR could certainly be implemented. The images are still sufficient, even at night, where you have to hold the smartphone for a few seconds during recording during recording. Not bad too the 13 megapixel camera on the front ƒ/2.2: In the price range, a few focus on this component. As mentioned, there is little to surprise instead for the wide -angle camera that is sufficient, but the effort for the resolution.

Videos can be recorded in 4K at 30FpsHis discreet but generally better than other competitors in the price range.

In comparison with last year, this smartphone receives a definitely larger panel that now reaches 6.7 inches.

It is always in technology Complicated And it has a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The resolution is FullHD+ (1080 x 2340 pixels) and the panel is protected by a glass Gorilla Glass Foods +Like at the back. It is a pity that there is no always-on-game system that it would certainly have enriched in terms of functionality. We do not have a maximum value of brightness, but the screen still behaves very well in direct sunlight.

Samsung launches this Galaxy A26 already updated to Android 15 with the most recent adjustment, namely the One onion 7. Samsung again surprises by offering Samsung that 6 -year -old guaranteed updates with not only security patches, but also new versions of Android include. A real record in this price range. The software seemed even more fluid than the previous generations, which demonstrated how the hardware update and the latest version of the Samsung adjustment are a good linked.

The software offers a number of interesting functions, such as the booster To minimize the distractions during the game and to maximize the performance instead. We then again have the side menu to open the apps in the window and which also integrates selection AI in this iteration, one of the most comfortable tools to copy or work on screen components. Some apps can then be split to be used with two accounts, while others Galaxy AI functions are absent in the highest end.

The battery stays from 5,000 mAh. This allows the smartphone to maintain an autonomy in every situation. Again with medium use it is possible to use two days and it is really difficult to go under at least one of the entire day of use, even in the case of intense use. There RESAAD RELACHTS STAY AT 25WTherefore not very fast, but in accordance with other comparable products.

Samsung Galaxy A26 It maintains the same price as last year and this can only be good news, although the price remains high. Let’s talk about it 319 € for version 6/128 And € 344 for that 8/256 we tried. They are prices as mentioned slightly higher than necessary. Check the boxes to follow for discounts that would certainly make it much more interesting. At the moment the price of the basic version is € 309, while the “top” is being discounted at the price Of the base at € 319.
