Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G 256GB Smartphone - White (One NZ/Open Network) is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 279.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best In-Class! This phone is phenomenal. I'm upgrading from the S24 Ultra and I thought that there wouldn't be a noticeable difference but my-oh-my... this phone has surpassed my expectations in every single way. The battery is so much longer (even though it's the same size as in the S24 Ultra), the camera is just so smooth and crisp, the display is noticeable brighter and sharper (don't even get me started on that Privacy Display feature), and last but not least the Performance. Every single app of mine loads noticeably quicker than my previous phone. It honestly feels like this phone is running on a Ferrari engine!! Totally in-LOVVEE with my new phone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Battery life is amazing [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Samsung s26 Ultra, upgraded from the s22 Ultra. The improvements are night and day, battery holds its charge for close to 3 days, 2 if I'm doom scrolling. Ai assist is clever and I can see myself using it more often, although I do feel I've sold my soul and betrayed humanity. Privacy glass is a great added feature of security and the speed of the the interface is fast and sharp. I do prefer the square edges of my s22 Ultra but it's no deal breaker. The screen on the s26 is remarkably clear and vibrant. I definitely recommend the upgrade if you have a phone lower than the s24.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 10/10 Would Samsung Again I’ve been using the Samsung S26 Ultra and it’s been a great experience so far. The phone is easy to navigate, super smooth, and very stable in everyday use. Apps open quickly and multitasking feels seamless. The camera quality is excellent, producing sharp photos with great colours in both daylight and low light. The screen is bright and clear, making videos and browsing really enjoyable. I also like the newer AI features that make things like photo editing and everyday tasks quicker and easier. Overall, it’s a powerful, premium phone with excellent performance, great camera quality, and smart features that make it enjoyable to use every day.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fantastic features, but design is letting it down [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have no issues at all with the tech and features of the new phone however i feel the design hasn't hit the mark for me. Comparing my new S26 Ultra to my S24 Ultra and there are several design elements that I will miss from my S24 Ultra. I don't like the more rounded edges on the S26 Ultra as it slightly crops content where the corners are and I find it noticible. I don't like that S Pen has to ONLY go in a certain way. I don't like the HUGE camera bump and that I have to use a much bulkier case to keep it flat on the table/desk. Those parts aside, the phone is very fast and feature rich!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from S26 U is not an upgrade, it is a replacement [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the phone about a week ago and find it ok. Upgrading from S23 Ultra, I have not noticed any significant camera improvements, except video stabilisation. Photos are still over sharpened and lack detail. AI features are unnecessary gimmick. I hoped AI photo editing would be great, but it grossly downgrades photo size and quality, changes letters, face features, so it is unusable. Privacy screen is a nifty little thing. 60W charging for the first 5 minutes or so, then it continues to drop the wattage; disappointing. I feel it is not an upgrade, but a replacement of the now ageing S23 U.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Reliable Android Flagship as Always [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, it feels very similar to the S23 Ultra that I previously used. The phone is still a bit bulky, with a large display and essentially the same system experience. I haven’t fully tested the camera yet, but from what I’ve seen so far, it looks quite good. One of the new privacy features designed to prevent others from viewing your screen from the side feels a bit unnecessary for me. It actually makes it harder when I quickly glance at the phone from an angle while working to check notifications or messages. I also helped a friend buy one in the pink gold color, and he was very happy with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shot some epic fireworks with S26 Ultra I am one of the lucky ones to have my hands on the S26 Ultra. I took it to the lantern festival and took a lot of epic photos of the lights and fireworks. what really surprised me was I found out i took the exact same photo with my daughter who is on A33 - both photos are great but then i realized hers only got the fireworks in terms of brightness (we both just point and shoot) but mine, the S26 Ultra actually captured all the color variations that the human eye saw. The hint of purple, red and orange, the sparks, smoke - those are all there whereas my daughter's photo was just a bright yellowish sparkle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Impressions: Loving This Phone Already 😄 Just got the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra a couple of days ago and so far I’m really happy with it. The screen is the first thing I noticed. It’s super bright and smooth, and everything just looks great on it. Even simple things like scrolling through apps or watching YouTube feel really nice 📱✨. Battery life also seems solid so far 🔋. With normal daily use like messages, social media, and some videos, I didn’t feel like I had to worry about charging all the time. Another thing I like is how smooth the system feels. Apps open quickly, switching between things is easy, and everything just feels fast. Overall it just feels like a really polished phone. Only used it for a short time, but so far I’m enjoying it a lot 👍.
