Brilliant features.
I needed a new phone, as my other one also Samsung only lasted a year, & would not charge anymore. I then decided to get the latest S26 Ultra. WOW! Brilliant phone. A fully charged battery lasts a week. So much quicker to use. Did a Smartswitch from old phone, once complete I started using it straight away. What more can I say, one magnificant phone. This one will last me a few years.

Battery
I had my phone delivered to my doorstep exactly one day after I ordered which was awesome. The purchase process was easy and straight with comfortable instalments. I'm loving the phone, camera picture quality is out of this world, battery lasts me two full days on single charge

Amazing phone, worth it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent phone with outstanding performance and features. The display is bright, sharp, and very smooth, making everything look premium. The camera quality is impressive, capturing clear and detailed photos in different lighting conditions. Battery life is strong and easily lasts through the day with regular use. The overall design feels sleek and high quality, and the device runs fast without any lag. A very reliable and powerful smartphone for everyday use.

useful AI features & improved sound
Decided to upgrade from S25 ultra out of curiosity as the cameras don't seem any different to last year's model in my experience but sound & picture quality with the S26 are super when watching videos & playing music Top consideration when thinking about buying this model would be if you don't mind the camera bump ( or 'island' ) easy solution being to get a super carrying case Also consider the size which is fine for me being fairly elderly but some of you might find it a bit cumbersome I would advise potential customers to seek out a discounted purchase as price has increased from last year & the overall differences are minimal - I have only found some useful features when using AI to edit photos but haven't tested the privacy feature as I never use the phone in public

Loving the new One UI8.5 features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a month ago. Noticeable battery improvement and new UI 8.5 features. Enhanced AI features and best of all privacy display is game changer. The feature I like the most is new 24mp photo option which is a huge and unexpected change.

Super!!!
bought this phone in white and honestly – it looks even better than in the pictures. Very elegant and modern. The phone works very fast, everything runs smoothly with no lag. The screen is large and very nice, perfect for watching movies and browsing the internet. The camera takes very good photos – especially in daylight, they are very sharp and detailed.

Same old (Again !)
Poor value again for the price, second rate camera, charging and battery compared to several other brands that cost significantly less money. Please get your act together Samsung and match the hardware from several Chinese brands that are leaving you looking silly !!
Is this it
