Camera
I buy in argos in very good for camera and future
Nishan, 45 - 54
reliable, fast and long battery life
The performance of this phone is quick, very responsive and capable of handling multiple applications with ease and without any lagging or glitching. The camera Quality is great on both the front and back of the phone. The photos are clear and detailed with no grainy images and heavy pixel distortion. The Battery life for this phone is relatively the same as the S22, however this still is over 14h. The privacy screen feature is a good idea. However, for me a little impractical, as i have to be directly looking down as screen to see anything clearly. The connectivity to WiFi and Bluetooth devices is instant. The phone manages to stay connected to 4G (my internet Data) without needing to 'Buffer' to often. The Sound Quality is excellent, Very clear with no distortion. However not able to acutely review this as i often use Bluetooth headphones and pods when out and about I have stayed with Samsung for my phones as i find the interface and the features to be very user friendly for me and easy to operate and use. With a very simplistic interface. For example, I like the ability to customize the home screen with widgets, and the ability to move apps, widgets and panels around as i see fit.

Brill but expensive
Amazing phone all round but too expensive to deserve 5 stars
Gary62, 55 - 64
great all round phone but back panel cracked
great phone but only feauture is privacy display and great performance great all round phone but the back panel cracks very easily and i managed to crack mine in 7 days after purchase even though i had a premium bulky heavy duty case on top. its one of the best phones you can buy if you like to balance everything in your phone such as camara, s pen, gaming, and samsung has an amazing UI so using the phone is great only problem i had with this phone is that i droped my phone while standing and even though i brought a super protecteive case the back panel cracked and i had to pay extra to fix it whereas my other phones have been alot tanker on drops with no case. gaming wise u can install pc games on this phone like skyrim special edition and black ops zombies so its powerful phone. camera is nice and very clear zoom is not a great as i imagined privcacy display works but is still possible for people to peak on your phone and i never use it anyway

Top quality smartphone
I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for 2 weeks and I’m very happy with it. The screen is amazing very bright and clear. The phone is fast, smooth, and handles everything with no issues.The camera takes great photos, especially in good light, and the battery easily lasts all day.The only downside is the size ,it’s quite big and not for everyone. Overall, a great phone and definitely worth it.

Loving my new phone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving my new phone and still learning what it can do for me. Great for music, easy note-taking and reading books. Probably going to swap out my case as I bought the magsafe one and the pen doesn't work with that but am considering a second case with a lanyard.

Excellenct phone
Excellent phone – definitely worth the price I bought the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G and I’m really happy with it. The phone is incredibly fast, everything runs smoothly without any lag, and the build quality feels premium. The display is stunning – the colours are vibrant and the image is very sharp, which makes it perfect for watching videos and everyday use. The camera takes amazing photos, even in low light conditions. The battery life is great and easily lasts a full day of heavy use. Another big plus is the 512 GB storage – I don’t have to worry about running out of space anymore. The phone looks very sleek and modern, and the included S Pen is a fantastic bonus. Highly recommended – one of the best phones I’ve ever had!

Thank you for your question, Tee. The Galaxy S26 Ultra does not include a charger in the box, but you can use any previous Samsung charger with your device.
The contents of the box are as follows:
• Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra handset with embedded battery
• USB‑C to USB‑C cable
• SIM ejector tool
• Documentation
We hope this helps.
Thanks for this question, Trev. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a Dual SIM device, offering flexibility through two physical nano‑SIMs, a combination of one nano‑SIM and one eSIM, or even dual eSIM functionality at one time. We hope this helps.
