Customers Say
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra impresses with excellent performance, camera quality, privacy screen, and battery life. Build quality concerns noted due to fragile rear glass. AI features and S Pen add value.

Great phone
Overall, the phone is good and a flagship in 2026. The performance is great, and no doubt you won't feel compromised in the camera. The battery lasts 2 full days for me with 5 hours of screentime. The privacy display works as intended, but worsens viewing angles even when privacy is turned off. I had no problems with connectivity.

Definitely worth an upgrade
I recently upgraded from the Samsung 25+ to the 26 ultra.. definitely worth the money. I like the fact it has a privacy screen. Battery life seems to last longer even when usage is high. Camera is brighter and clear. Performance wise I love everything about it.

Weak, prone to shattering phone.
Great performing phone but as weak as an egg shell. I've had this in a good case from day one, dropped it once from waist height in the house and it shattered the rear glass. You can tell it feels weak compared to previous model, it reminds me off an iPhone. What posed Samsung to go away from Titanium. I've always looked after my phones and never sustained any damage. Owned this less than 2 months and it's goosed.

Great phone
I am extremely happy with phone. However, I didn't like the fact that the S-pen does not work with the camera. I cannot use the S-pen to snap a picture from a distance.

Response from argos:
We’re glad to hear that you’re extremely happy with the Galaxy S26 Ultra! We also appreciate your feedback regarding the S Pen and the removal of Bluetooth support. While this feature was removed due to low overall usage, there are still several convenient ways to take photos remotely, including using Palm Gesture, asking your voice assistant such as Gemini, or using a wearable device like a Galaxy Watch. Please rest assured that your feedback will be passed along internally, as we’re always looking for ways to improve future products and features even further. We’re confident that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will continue to impress you for a long time to come! ^CL at Samsung Support

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.
