Overview

• Multiple outlets say Samsung is preparing three Galaxy S26 models for a January 2026 debut, with naming still in flux between Edge or Plus and a possible base model rebrand to Pro.
• Early pricing guidance pegs the entry model at about Rs 79,990 in India, $799 in the US, and AED 2,900 in Dubai, though these figures remain unofficial.
• CAD-based leaks point to rounder edges, a move to a camera island design, and thinner bodies, with reports tipping titanium on higher tiers and aluminum on lower ones.
• Camera hardware changes are expected to be incremental, with rumors citing a 50MP main sensor on the base/Pro, 200MP mains on Edge and Ultra, and telephoto tweaks including a 3x and 5x mix.
• Chipset expectations follow Samsung’s usual regional split, with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon successor in the US, Canada and China and Exynos variants elsewhere, alongside standard 12GB/256GB tiers and rumored 4,200mAh Edge and 5,000mAh Ultra batteries with faster 60–65W charging.
