Our take on the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G 2025 (8GB RAM, 256GB)

The Galaxy A26 5G is Samsung's mid-range 5G phone with a 6.7-inch display, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It stands out for its slim body, glass back and long software support, which is longer than most rivals at this level offer. It suits shoppers who want a big-screen Samsung phone for everyday apps, streaming and photos without flagship extras. Against rivals like the Galaxy A36 and Pixel A-series, it trades some camera and performance polish for a lower place in Samsung's lineup.
