Overall, it's a solid phone with a great display, useful AI features, and an attractive design, with just a couple of areas that could be improved. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S26 is a great phone with an excellent display, useful AI features, and an attractive design. If you can live with average battery life, it's a solid choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Gslaxy S26 Plus Android is a compact phone and a significant upgrade from earlier Galaxy devices. I have the blue colour. Great for users wanting a lightweight, ergonomic phone. Increased screen size gives further space for Apps. Comfortably held in one hand. The triple camera facility provides sharp shots/photographs with improved portrait styles. The phone has fantastic battery life, easily lasting all day long from a full charge with large usage. The device provides a very smooth delivery of applications with new AI tools. Upgraded processing power inclusive of 12GB of RAM. Quick and touch responsive with all Apps. I would highly recommend this device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Samsung phones so we were excited to purchase the S26+. It is a similar size to the Samsung 25fe which is perfect as its not too small. The phone looks stylish and it comes in a range of colours. The storage is 512 gb and it has a Ram of 12gb which is much better. It works quickly and was easy to set up and I could configure my accounts and apps with ease using the Samsung app. It allowed me to transfer the details from my previous phone over WiFi with no errors. The camera goes to 50mb and provides clear pictures and videos. It has a long lasting battery life and a clear display. A stylish phone that offers great performance with a range of features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this just under a week now and absolutely love it, I've come from the standard S25 which is not much of a jump but the privacy display especially when controlled by specific apps is very useful and grear considering its first gen technology. Horizontal lock is a cool feature even though I might bot use it often, I can't fault the camera quality at all. Double storage for same pric as perfect for me as i had 256gb previously and now gone to 512gb. Will keep this phone for years to come as its a flagship with fantastic features i find very useful day to day, especially combined with modes and routines which are so underated! Love the cobal violet colour as well!

The performance is very smooth and fast, even while multitasking and playing heavy games.The display quality is amazing with vibrant colors and excellent brightness,making videos and photo look stunning .The large 512GB storage is very Useful because i can store a lot of apps,photos,and videos without worrying about space.Battery life is also impressive and easily lasts the whole day with normal use.Connectivity is stable and fast as well.Overall,its a powerful smatphone with premium features and a great user experience.Highly recommended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB is a premium flagship that feels fast, polished, and packed with top-end features. It stands out for its large 6.9-inch display, strong camera system, powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, and generous 512GB storage, making it a great choice for photography, multitasking, and heavy everyday use. Samsung’s new Privacy Display is a unique extra, though some reviewers say the phone is more of a refinement than a huge leap forward, and the price is firmly in the premium tier. Overall, it’s an excellent high-end phone for users who want performance, storage, and versatility in one device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S24 to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and I’m really impressed with the improvements. The battery life is excellent and easily lasts through a full day of use without any issues. One feature I particularly love is the privacy screen, which is great when using the phone in public as it stops people nearby from seeing what’s on your display. The camera is amazing and takes incredibly clear, detailed photos in all kinds of lighting. This is also my first time having a phone with the S Pen, and I didn’t realise how useful it would be. It’s great for quick notes, editing photos, and just navigating the phone in a different way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my new Galaxy 26+ last Friday and am more than delighted with it . It is marginally larger than my S24 but not overly so. I can still fit it into the usual pockets and bags as before . But the slightly larger screen is a boon to my aging eyes. Makes life that little bit easier. I’m still finding my way around the camera but am enjoying the wide range of whistles and bells therein. It is fun manipulating certain photos to remove objects I don’t want in the frame . I know , so far, I am only scratching the surface and I have a long interesting journey ahead. I look forward to discovering all the added extras I did not hv on my old phone. Happy days ahead !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I preorder the S26 Ultra 1t version and have been using it for few days. At first glance it was very similar to the previous model. However, the longer you use it the better it is. From feeling slightly lighter to hold, to having an amazing new feature of the privacy screen on apps of your choice. With life on constant move I find it very useful especially when I need to do some banking on the train. The mobile seems faster and screen looks graphically better than it's precedes or. I really like the Ai features as well especially being able to highlight and select and ask anything about images or texts at any time.

I purchased mobile but realised order was wrong. Chat support missed a step. What a nightmare to fix. Samsung have lied and refused to fix or refund order. Website is clear about cancelling but they do not follow what is posted they make there own process. This process is about delaying refund as long as possible, refusing to provide customer support, refusing to investigate complaints seriously. Even emailing CEO same response. Told while in shipping my responsibility and depending on condition on return they can deny refund. This is for an online store pick up. Their courier I never even get to see the mobile.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26+ for a short while now, and I’m really impressed. The design feels premium and lightweight, with a large, bright display that’s great for streaming and everyday use. It’s smooth and responsive, which makes scrolling and switching between apps feel effortless. Performance has been excellent so far, everything runs quickly, even when multitasking. The battery easily lasts a full day with regular use, and charging is fast enough to top up when needed. The camera is another highlight, producing sharp, vibrant photos in good lighting and performing well in lower light too. It’s reliable for everyday shots without needing much adjustment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a nice step up from my S24 Ultra—the trade-in was seamless, and made the upgrade very affordable. The S26 Ultra is slimmer and lighter, the screen's super bright and sharp, performance is snappy with solid all-day battery, and the cameras handle low light way better. The new Galaxy AI bits like Now Nudge (those smart pop-up suggestions for stuff like adding calendar events or sharing pics) and Now Brief (quick daily summaries) feel handy without being over the top. But the Privacy Display is the real winner—flip it on and side-viewers can't see a thing on the train or wherever; it's legit useful privacy built right in. Solid upgrade overall!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26+ is simply put.. An amazing phone. It's 120hz amoled x2 screen is beautiful. It's snappy, with no signs of lag no matter what I throw at it. The design is solid, elegant and quality built. The only feature I find unnecessary is built in Ai. Don't get me wrong, it's useful, but tbh the Ai image editor and other Ai facets aren't perfected yet. They seldom do exactly as you ask, they produce results which can have you re-doing an image multiple times or asking Ai voice assistant to stop so you can re-phrase the question to get your desired result. Useful features, built in.. At this level? Unnecessary!

Solidly built. Seems to be responsive but overall no real difference from the 24+ worth the upgrade if you actually need a quality phone but nothing to jump for in this model. Very easy set up and transfer it was exceptionally well done. The battery life seems inconsistent right now waiting for the battery optimization ai to take over after it's initial learning phase. Camera I have yet to see a difference from the s24. Display oddly is set to standard mode. They have an option to increase the resolution off by default but based on battery so far I wonder if this model was ever intended to use that option

Bought for my sister amazing phone, love the camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought Samsung S26+ in colour white, that was change from Samsung S25. Is absolutely great, working fast (my son constantly downloading some crap games normaly speed would be affected) screen is definitely improve. When I take pictures and send them to family they saying "you have great camera". Battery holding well. I couldn't make my mind about colour, was going to choose pink gold but at the end I choose white and is so beautiful, looks classy, back is not shine is more matt which I prefer. My use phone is every day use chucking to hand bag, holding by 5year old, hanging in car and was a bit worry about not having protection especially for lens but they still scrach free !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this phone after my old Galaxy S21 kept popping up a notification that my battery was basically dying. It was getting very slow and not holding its charge. I loved my S21. Upgrading to the S26+ was an easy decision for me. It's not much bigger in dimensions to the S21, so that's a plus for me. The camera is just flippin awesome. I took some great shots at the zoo of the butterflies, and the quality, clarity of the close ups, is definitely 10 steps up from the S21. I'm still working my way around all the new features, but this phone is super fast. And setting it up with Smart Switch kept everything how I had it set-up on the S21. I hope I get 5 to 6 years out of the S26+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24+. To be honest I expected to notice a bigger difference but it's all kind of bland. No wow factor whatsoever. I don't notice any speed increases or much difference at all. I've used Samsung for over 10 years and always buy my phones outright. I feel like nothing much has changed for many, many years. I really wish they'd done the charging magnets on the back. A big let down that wasn't included. The AI stuff is ho-hum too. On the up side, it's a solid phone and works as expected. I feel like all the fanfair was towards the Ultra phone. Some of us want smaller phones (not that this is much smaller) with the same features like the privacy screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im so happy i bit the bullet and bought one. My old phone was getting a little to old and overheating and playing up a bit. It was time. And i glad i did. The +plus size is a tiny bit noticeable in my hands, but the bigger screen area is awesome. Beautiful clear screen, easy to operate and was a super easy transition over from old phone to new just plugging both phones together and voila'. I still have to figure out pictures, as my old phone had them all organised a certain way, but the new is different. Only thing i probably wish hadn't changed, but I'll figure that out. Otherwise super dooper happy with my new purchase. The pink/gold colour i bought is really pretty too! No regrets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an amazing piece of equipment. I upgraded from the S23 FE. The S26+ has a larger screen and is so much lighter. I’m yet to buy a case for my shiny new phone, but I’m worried about the weight and size it will add. The phone is very responsive, does not lag at all. The battery is much better and lasts a lot longer for me. The camera quality both on the front and rear are amazing. One of my friends, who uploads shorts on social media was blown away with the quality. I've had so many comments about how great it looks and feels, definitely recommended. Well done Samsung, you have excelled once again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The display on the Galaxy S26 Plus is absolutely gorgeous. The performance is incredibly snappy—no lag even with dozens of apps open, and the interface is smooth and intuitive, making navigation feel effortless. What surprised me most was the battery life; I’m comfortably getting through a full day of heavy use with plenty of charge to spare. The camera takes stunning, professional-grade photos in almost any lighting, capturing every detail perfectly. Plus, the build quality gives me a lot of confidence in its durability, it feels solid, premium, and ready for daily wear and tear. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Galaxy S26 Plus and I absolutely love it. The 512GB of storage is a lifesaver for all my 4K videos and apps. The camera takes stunning, crisp photos, especially at night. The user interface is incredibly snappy, and the battery easily lasts me through a heavy day of use. The build quality feels premium and durable. Definitely worth the investment! Privacy screen is just WOW!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from an S21 FE a couple of weeks' ago, so still settling in I guess, but the quality is obvious from the moment the box is opened! Transferring from the old phone was a breeze and facilitated by the inbuilt process. I managed to get it up and running with minimum fuss and bother - familiarity with OneUI and Samsung's phones probably helped. I took the phone camping over the Easter weekend and put the camera through it's paces with fantastic results! Night time shots were just what I expected and gave me the photos I wanted. There's a wee glitch with the wallet when I open it... keeping my eye on it and if it's an ongoing problem I can't fix, will be taking it back to Samsung.

It’s OK. I am having to add my contacts as they didn’t transfer over. However I seem to have a lot of names I don’t know so don’t have to add them. Every time I get or make a call this irritating window pops up with suggestions such as leave a message, can’t talk right now - no idea how to get rid of it permanently. Also these adverts pop up. I hate that and don’t want to see them. The phone kept changing time zones on me - very frustrating when putting in appointments. I think I fixed this but wonder why it decided to do that. My notifications aren’t working like they did on my old phone. I have no idea how to get new notification sounds either. Not very user friendly for seniors!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the **Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra** and overall I’m really impressed with it. The screen is big, bright and incredibly smooth, which makes watching videos and scrolling through apps feel great. The phone is also very fast and handles everything without any lag. The camera is one of the best features. Photos come out sharp with lots of detail, and the zoom is really impressive. Battery life is solid too and easily lasts me a full day. Overall, it’s a powerful phone with an amazing display and great cameras. If you want a premium Android phone, the S26 Ultra is definitely worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a bit sceptical when upgrading over the past few years. My last phone was a S22+ , and I was in need of an upgrade. This was a great upgrade! The S26+ new features have been so helpful , my previous S22+ had the start of AI morphing from Bixby to Gemini .. now the S26+ has the new and improved Gemini. This feature is quick and easy to use, and much more precise than other AI engines I have used. The S26+ is sleek, quick and once it has transfered everything over is intuitive to use. In the box is the data cable, userbook, warranty and sim pin. Samsung have done done it again and provided a phone that's built for the future, and robust for everyday use in work and play.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently picked up the Samsung S26+, and honestly, I’m loving it so far. The whole thing just feels smooth and modern, and the new features are actually useful rather than just gimmicks. The camera is sharper, the interface feels quicker, and everything just runs without any fuss. What really surprised me, though, is the battery life. This thing just keeps going. I can use it all day—messages, videos, maps, social apps—and I’m still not scrambling for a charger by the evening. It’s such a nice change from constantly worrying about battery percentage. Overall, the S26+ has been a great upgrade. It’s reliable, fast, and just easy to live with day to day. Definitely happy with the purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a polished evolution of Samsung’s flagship line, blending power with refinement. Its vibrant AMOLED display is sharp, fluid, and ideal for streaming or gaming, while the updated processor delivers seamless multitasking without overheating. The camera system stands out, producing crisp detail in daylight and impressively balanced low-light shots. Battery life comfortably lasts a full day, even with heavy use, and fast charging keeps downtime minimal. Samsung’s software feels smooth and customisable, adding practical features without clutter. Overall, the Galaxy S26 feels premium, reliable, and performance-driven — a strong contender in the flagship smartphone market.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, the Samsung SM-S947BZVGEUB has been a brilliant phone to use. It’s one of those rare devices that just gets everything right without any fuss. The Screen & Speed: Everything looks beautiful on the display, and it’s fast enough that I never have to wait for apps to load—it just glides. The Camera: This is the real star. The photos are sharp, clear, and look professional, and the AI features actually help me get the perfect shot without having to mess around with settings. Reliability: The battery easily lasts me the whole day, which is a massive relief, and the phone itself feels sturdy and well-built. It’s not just a fancy gadget; it’s a tool that actually makes my daily life easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mobile phone Galaxy s26 has plenty of storage 256GB and 512GB. İt's got a lot of space to keep your photos safe. The gallery is nicely organised with album folders. The battery is long lasting. The camera takes nice pictures. The screen is very durable and long lasting. The performance is quick. The interface is beautiful and high resolution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I had a s23 ultra before but decided to get the s26 plus must say i absolutley love it mpre storage space and camera is still just as good for exactly what i need and battery is so much better and lasting longer. Performance and display is fabulous just like all my other samsung and would never stop having a samung.

The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is an excellent phone with a perfect balance of performance, design, and battery life. The display is bright, smooth, and great for watching videos or gaming. The phone feels fast and responsive, and multitasking is effortless. The cameras take really clear and vibrant photos, even in low light. Battery life is also impressive and easily lasts the whole day. The design feels premium and modern without being too bulky. Overall, it’s a fantastic flagship phone and definitely worth it if you want high-end features at a slightly lower price than the Ultra version.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded and parted ways with my S23+ Ultra and chose to remain with Samsung based on the battery life that my dependable S23 served me for well over 3 years. The Samsung S26+ is great, a nice polished encased design. I got the violet and love it! Samsung have done a great job, moving from that encased to a metal unibody which is why i had to part ways from my S23+ Ultra as the back had started coming off exposing the battery. I am so glad to have upgraded and love the easy transition seems the longevity of consistent software upgrades means that you don't have to relearn anything in the ecosystem. I am looking forward to keeping this samsung for awhile! Faster processor makes such a difference too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a big fan of Samsung and have had the Ultra version of the phone for the last few years. I wanted to try the Plus model as is isn't as heavy. Moving to the S6 Plus was super simple and for the first time my home screen, folders etc all copied across so the only hassle was relogging in to apps. Setup took minutes and was super simple. The phone is elegant and feels nice in your hand. Screen is bright and colours sharp. Powerful processing with no lags when going into apps or carrying out day to day tasks. Would happily recommend this phone to all, not found anything I don't like.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S26 Ultra is an outstanding smartphone that really lives up to its “Ultra” name. Its large, stunning display is perfect for watching videos, gaming, or everyday use, and the camera system is especially impressive, taking incredibly detailed photos and performing brilliantly even in low light. The performance is smooth and powerful, making multitasking effortless, and the battery easily keeps up with a full day of heavy use. With its premium build, advanced features, and reliable performance, the Samsung S26 Ultra feels like a top-tier device that’s worth the attention.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this and recieved it a few days ago and so far so good. Battery is good performance of the phone is quick. Display is good and wider than my previous phone. Camera is good. Didn't take long to transfer my data over storage is accurate and the connectivity was great too

Have had this phone for a bit now and still surprised at how well it runs my games and other apps. The battery life could be better but the drain isnt as bad as most other phones I've used. The games I played are amazing visually and the graphics are phenomenal. I dont take a lot of pictures but the ones I have are really good so the camera is great. And as someone who works in a rough trade (construction) and as one who drops his phone a lot...its held up to all bumps and falls so is a very durable and reliable phone. The display screen is so bright and vivid...love it Overall I highly recommend this phone for any use you may think of. I gave a 4 star only because the battery life could be better.

I got my s26+ last week and already it's improving my quality of life. As a content creator the built in stabilizer that literally works if I turn the camera upside down is kind boggling. It's added a whole new layer to what I can create with my phone. I love the extra accessibility functions as a person with dyspraxia. The battery lasts a long time and I like the little warning when you've hit 100. I like this display better than previous phones and the clarity is really something else. Overall, the phone is performing much better than I expected and seems to be daily durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my new galaxy S26 Ultra 4 days ago and I am very happy. Performance is a lot better than S25 ultra, display is absolutely great and connectivity is top notch. Storage is great too. Battery is the same as S25 ultra. The camera is the best so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was just waiting for the Samsung S26 for more than a six months and donno how many time I checked when they released the new S26 and yeah finally by preorder, I got my phone by 6th of March and it’s super fast and very smooth, just love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm an iPhone user, but my partner has always been a Samsung fan, so I bought him the Samsung S26 plus for his birthday. He absolutely loves it and hasn't stopped talking about all the features. The camera quality is incredible, l have to admit I'm a little jealous of how good his photos look! It's even made me question whether I should stick with iPhone when it's time for my next upgrade. The battery life has been great, it's fast and responsive, and the display is stunning. Seeing how happy he is with it has definitely made this purchase worth every penny. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love the new night mode and camera stability, the one ui 8.5 is perfect and very polished, the storage is perfect for my usage, the batery last through more than just my work day, seems very durable and love the feeling of the phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus is overall a good smartphone, but it doesn't bring anything particularly exciting compared to previous generations. In my opinion, there are no major innovations or standout features that make it feel significantly different from earlier models. The only noticeable improvement is its lighter weight, which makes it a bit more comfortable to use. Apart from that, it feels like just another smartphone on the market. It performs well, has a good display, and offers a solid user experience, but nothing about it really surprised me or made it stand out from its predecessors. If you're already using a recent Samsung flagship, upgrading to the S26 Plus may not feel like a big leap forward.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The latest Samsung S26+ features the new Agentic AI software which sounds very cool, but from a physical aspect it's a very similar design and has similar dimensions to the models from recent years. The setup was easy enough and the phone runs smoothly for daily use. It has a decent battery life and a decent camera, but I was hoping that there would be a more significant leap in the battery life and camera. It feels more like a refresh rather than a real upgrade from those aspects mentioned. It’s a decent phone with new AI features that I still have a lot to explore, I have yet to discover the 'wow factor' from a brand new release, hopefully my opinion will change as I use this phone more throughout the year.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am lucky enough to have had this phone for a week now. So impressed with soany new features that it has. Still discovering hownhelpulnthe new AI help is. The phone keeps alerting me to these new features when I use an app!
