Overview
- Reliable tipster PhoneArt/UniverseIce reports the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra will retain a 2,600-nit peak brightness, matching the S25 series.
- Leaks point to Samsung Display’s M14 material for all three models, with expected gains in efficiency or panel thinness rather than higher peak output.
- The same source says 10-bit color depth and high-frequency PWM dimming are not certain for the S26 displays.
- On-paper brightness would trail recent rivals, with iPhone 17 and Pixel 10 models carrying higher rated peaks and stronger lab results.
- The lineup and timing remain unconfirmed, with three models still expected and an early-2026 launch window widely rumored.
