Customers Say
Samsung Galaxy S26 praised for excellent camera, bright display, strong performance, and solid build. Battery life generally good but some report fast drain. User-friendly with AI features, though a few find it complex or data-heavy.

S26 is a winner
My old phone was a Samsung S10 and it did me almost seven years of solid service so I wanted to get the flagship Samsung model when looking for a replacement and I'm not disappointed. It's got the solid build quality and the form factor that I was used to but everything seems to be vastly improved and I'm very happy with this purchase.

Easy to use but too many popups
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use but too many features using up my data, news YouTube etc permanently popping up using my data when not on WiFi. I thought it didn't use the data until I opened it at home on wifi. After checking why my data usage gone up away from home realised using my data not on wifi on popping.

Hello Sam,
The supplier has advised the following for the SIM Free Samsung Galaxy S26 5G 256GB AI Mobile Phone - Black:
"The Samsung Galaxy S26 5G does not include an international warranty as standard. Samsung's standard manufacturer warranty for mobile devices is typically limited to the country or region where the product was first sold. In the UK, the Samsung Galaxy S26 5G comes with a 24-month manufacturer's warranty as standard. For devices purchased within the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, Samsung often provides a European Standard Warranty which may allow for repairs across member states, but this does not extend globally."
Thank you for using Q&A.
