Easy to use Samsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The display and camera are fantastic, I love how much clearer the picture is compared to my own phone. The phone is also very easy to use as settings, apps etc. are all in easily accessible parts of the phone. The battery life is very good too, I can watch videos for hours before having to charge the phone again.

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.
