Overview
- One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 is expected to ship on the Galaxy S26 lineup, with test builds already surfacing in firmware code.
- 2D renders found in One UI 8.5 reference files align with prior leaks, showing fold-style circular camera cutouts and softer corners on the S26 Ultra.
- Camera specs are tipped to mirror S25 megapixel counts, with reports of a larger main sensor and an f/1.4 aperture on the Ultra to improve low‑light performance.
- Qualcomm’s next Snapdragon is expected to power most regions, with Exynos variants in select markets and ISP upgrades touted across both chipsets.
- Rumors point to faster charging (up to 60W wired, 25W wireless) and an India price leak for a 12GB/256GB S26 Ultra at Rs 1,59,999, though neither is confirmed.
