The ZuPick verdict

3.8out of 5

BuyBest at performance, weakest at camera.

The Galaxy S26 Plus 5G gets the big flagship basics right: a sharp QHD+ display, very fast performance, long software support and useful premium extras. Its main compromises are slower charging than some rivals and a camera system that is good rather than class-leading.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.

Performance4.5

Performance is one of the phone’s strengths. It scores about 3.11 million on AnTuTu, which is near the top of the market, and the combination of 12 GB RAM, UFS 4.1 storage and 7 years of updates adds both speed and longevity.

Camera2.9

The camera setup is decent but not standout for this price. A 50 MP main camera, 12 MP ultrawide and 3x optical zoom cover the basics well, but the zoom reach is shorter than the best rivals and the video support is a clear weak point.

Display4.1

This is a strong flagship display. The QHD+ resolution looks very sharp, 120 Hz keeps motion smooth, and 2600 nits of peak brightness gives it good outdoor visibility, though LTPO panels still sit a step above.

Battery3.6

Battery life is solid rather than class-leading. The 4900 mAh battery and 16h 46m tested endurance should get most people through a full day comfortably, and wireless charging helps, but 45W charging is only mid-pack for this class.

Value4.0

At ₹74999, it sits at the upper edge of the more accessible flagship range and gives you a lot of the essentials buyers expect here. The value stays good because the display, performance and software support are all strong, even if the camera and charging are less ambitious.

Pros & cons

What’s good

Sharp QHD+ display

The 1440x3120 screen is sharper than the Full HD panels many rivals still use, and the 120 Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and gaming smooth. Peak brightness of 2600 nits also helps outdoors.

Very strong performance

It scores about 3.11 million on AnTuTu, which puts it among the faster phones you can buy. 12 GB RAM and UFS 4.1 storage also help apps open quickly and multitasking stay fluid.

Long update commitment

Samsung promises 7 years of OS updates and 7 years of security updates. That makes this a safer buy for people planning to keep their phone for a long time.

Well-rounded flagship extras

You get IP68 water resistance, wireless charging, reverse wireless charging and Wi-Fi 7. At this price, those features matter, and this phone covers the basics properly.

What’s not

Charging is only okay

45W charging is usable, but it is not fast by flagship standards anymore. Some rivals in this range refill much quicker, so top-ups are less convenient here.

Zoom trails top rivals

The 3x optical zoom is useful for portraits and subjects across a room, but the best camera phones here push further with 5x or periscope zoom. This is a real trade-off if zoom matters to you.

Video capture feels limited

Rear video tops out at Full HD, which is a weak showing for a premium phone. At this price, 4K60 is expected and 8K is no longer unusual.
