The Samsung Galaxy S26 256 Go smartphone is now available for less than 700 € at E. Leclerc - High-Tech, according to a report from Les Numériques. The device continues Samsung's established formula, focusing on endurance and fluidity rather than introducing significant new features. The Galaxy S26 is described as a well-calibrated and very bright screen with an Exynos 2600 processor that is "perfectly mastered," along with a versatile photo module and excellent battery life. However, it is noted for lacking originality and having a charging capacity capped at 25 W. The Galaxy S26 is considered a "diligent and deserving student" but without real brilliance, according to the report. The cautious approach leaves a slight impression of unfinished work, with a design that barely evolves and few notable innovations. This approach may appeal to enthusiasts but may leave more curious users unsatisfied. The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is also reviewed, described as a very solid smartphone with a refined design, good OLED screen, high performance, comfortable battery life, and a rich and durable software experience. However, the price increase due to the current crisis in components makes its concessions difficult to accept. The photo module evolves little, the telephoto lens shows its age, the display is not LTPO, the 8 GB of RAM seems just enough, and the battery life regresses slightly. The S26 FE is said to lack boldness and a coherent positioning when compared to the more affordable S26. Both models highlight Samsung's strategy of refining existing designs rather than introducing groundbreaking changes, which may satisfy loyal customers but could leave those seeking innovation disappointed. The report suggests that while these devices are reliable and functional, they do not offer the kind of standout features that might attract a broader audience looking for more distinctive technology.
