Galaxy S26 Ultra
Honestly a downgrade to S24 Ultra. I swear by it. The phone is somehow bulky, bigger, heavier, fatter. Not just the outside, the inside: on my life its worse. I had a faulty one to start with, new one came, same rubbish. It overheats, it cant load maps, it glitches. Its slower internet speeds, loading stuff. I had the same provider so i know its the phone. Big let down, theres a lot more i can say but dont want to type an essay. VOID. Honestly dodge the bullet unlike me

Its a new Samsung s26 Ultra
Obviously its new so i cant say if the battery will last but the phone is quick and attractive with plenty of storage. It has the usual samsung bloatwear but i have removed much of it. Seems like an excellent phone.

Hello Das,
No, a separate internal SD card cannot be used in this phone, as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra does not feature a microSD card slot.
Thanks for using Q&A.
As Argos is an official UK Samsung seller, the devices sold are intended for the UK market. Please reach out to Argos Support directly if you face any issues with your S26 Ultra that suggests it is intended for another region. Hope this helps!
