    The Samsung S26 is a marvel of a phone with the latest AI technology. The price, I can't complain, if I can say a perfect price. I can't get this Samsung S26 @ the price they gave it to me. Best Buy, you're the best. Thank you very much for your best quality service.

    It is comfortable and practical, and—regarding its AI feature—I am learning how to use it little by little. I also like the emoticons I can create without needing external apps.

    Great battery. I replaced my S21 with it because the battery wouldnt last half a day. Charging to 80 percent gets me through the whole day now.

  • An Easy No-Brainer Upgrade

    Went into BestBuy to buy a cable, came out with a new unlocked Galaxy S26 256GB on a special promotion that gave me $200 for my old S21 with a declining battery. The process was almost too easy. The store gave me a credit of $50 against the $40 data transfer charge so I walked out in about 30 minutes with a brand new phone. Net about $590 plus tax. That's only $10/month assuming a 5-year hold, no contract (service not included).
