Good all round piece of kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good phone. I change my Ultra every year in the hope of major improvements. Not really happening. Having said that I am a Sammy fan. Will not buy another brand currently. It is a great piece of kit. I don't really think of it as a "phone" yes you can make a call on it. However it is so much more. Camera, video camera, location/mapping device, Satnav for the car the list is endless. My biggest gripe is the fingerprint biometric sensor. On this phone it actually worked for about 2 weeks after I set it up. Even after going into the" "Improve accuracy" in the fingerprints settings page (Settings > Security and privacy > Screen lock and biometrics > Fingerprints).... It still does NOT WORK. for this reason there is no way on earth that I use the Samsung Pass because it won't recognise my fingerprint. The best security was with the Samsung NOTE 8 & 9 that had Iris recognition. It worked every time and was secure. I must admit the AI that allows you to do virtually anything you want with a picture has given friends and family a good laugh. So in summary, I love the phone and as long as Samsung continue to include the built in stylus I will buy a new one every year.

A very good phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought mine in January 2026. On the whole I am very pleased with it, although I can't get the fingerprint options to work properly.

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.
