AI-generated summary
If you’re paying **£1217 ex‑VAT** for a Galaxy S26+ as a reseller, the honest answer is: it’s a great phone, but it’s not an obvious “business value” pick unless you specifically need what this model brings. The jump in cost rarely translates into day-to-day productivity gains for most teams—email, Teams/Zoom, camera scanning, NFC payments—those are usually covered fine by cheaper flagships or even top-end midrange. Where the S26+ makes sense is for **frontline users who actually live on their handset** (field engineers, on-site managers, salespeople) and really benefit from the premium experience day after day: strong performance longevity, reliable connectivity, and the kind of screen and battery behaviour people notice in heavy use.
Who should buy it? **Managers or power users** who use the phone as a primary work device, or organisations standardising on Samsung for an easier fleet experience (controls, familiarity, support pathways). Who should *not*? Anyone issuing phones broadly across a general workforce, or anyone expecting this spend to “fix” mobile ops. For most businesses, you’ll get better ROI by buying fewer expensive units for true power users and spec’ing the rest more sensibly.
If you’re considering it, I’d ask your internal stakeholders one thing: **is the extra cost buying measurable outcomes** (reliability under poor signal, fewer replacements, better usability for scanning/notes, better battery endurance for all-day shifts)? If the answer isn’t yes, I’d look at a lower-cost alternative first.
