Best Phone I've owned
It’s an amazing phone with impressive new AI features, and the aluminum frame makes it strong, lightweight, and great at dissipating heat. I love the new privacy display, even though it’s a bit less bright and the anti-reflective coating isn’t as good, it’s still fantastic. The cameras are excellent and produce high-quality shots, and the battery lasts a long time thanks to the powerful Snapdragon Gen 5 Elite for Galaxy. Although the price has gone up, possibly due to higher RAM and SSD costs, it’s still a durable phone, though the price is definitely surprising.

Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally got myself the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and I’m honestly obsessed with it already. The screen is insane, camera quality is unreal and everything just feels ridiculously smooth. Definitely one of those purchases where you instantly know it was worth it. 📱🔥

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought when came out, love it. Camera could be better, for some reason S23 Ultra seamed better night time...Plan upgrades every 2 years as so far can see every 2 years some issues start as per clocck.

Excellent all-rounder
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had the S26+ almost 2 months now and very impressed with the screen, performance and battery life. I upgraded from a S23+5G and the vast improvement across all aspects is astounding. Very responsive opening apps, screen detail is excellent, cameras at another level and better in all aspects. Doubling the storage was a nice bonus as well.

Awesome piece of Tech!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently moved from the Galaxy S24 Ultra to the S26 Ultra, and the difference is immediately noticeable. The curved design is a welcome change – no more sharp corners – and the phone feels much more comfortable in hand. The camera layout and size have received some criticism, but I personally love the new design. Photo quality is outstanding: images are sharp, the camera is fast and responsive, and overall quality is clearly better than my previous phone. The night photos are the best I have ever seen on a smartphone, with excellent detail, clarity and colour even in very low light. There has also been some debate around the stylus, but I actually prefer it compared to the S24 Ultra. It feels more refined and works very well in everyday use. Overall, this is a fantastic device. Well done to the Samsung engineers – you’ve done a great job.

Brilliant Phone with an Amazing Screen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, I’m genuinely impressed so far. The phone feels premium in the hand, and the screen is stunning, everything looks crisp, bright, and incredibly smooth. It’s easily one of the best displays I’ve ever used on a smartphone. Performance has been excellent. The device feels fast and responsive at all times, whether I’m switching between apps or using it for work and media. Battery life has also been solid, comfortably lasting through the day without any concern. The camera is a real highlight. Photos are sharp and full of detail, with particularly impressive zoom and low‑light performance. The only downside is the size of the camera lenses, which means the phone doesn’t sit completely flat on a surface, but that seems to be a small trade‑off for having such a top‑of‑the‑range camera built in. Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra feels like a polished, powerful flagship that fully delivers on expectations. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Great battery life, camera. Such a great phone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this phone via Vodafone, I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S23 and while there is not much different in each phone, I do find the Camera to be of much better quality I also like that the front camera is not as noticeable on the screen. I really wanted this phone for the size and for the stylus as I really enjoy drawing and colouring in for a past time and this allows me to do so via the PenUp app. I have found no faults with this phone. Battery Life lasts all day at least 13hours with constant use of games, streaming tv and colouring in. Most definitely would recommend this for a new mobile. After upgrading from my S22 Ultra to the S23 I regretted my decision and I am very happy that I was able to get the S26 Ultra with the pre ordering scheme.
