Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
No stereo speaker pair
There is no stereo speaker setup. It covers speakerphone calls and short clips, but headphones are a better fit for music, games and films.
Size is part of everyday use
With a 6.7-inch screen and a weight of 200 g, the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G is noticeable in a hand or pocket. Video has plenty of room, but reaching the top one-handed is awkward, and a case adds bulk.
Slower wired file transfers
The port transfers data at USB 2 speeds. Moving large videos to a computer can involve a wait; having a USB-C connector does not automatically mean USB 3 transfer speeds.
