Overview

  • CAD-based images from OnLeaks via Android Headlines show a flat display with rounder corners and a prominent camera island, with a reported 7.9mm body and roughly 4.5mm protrusion.
  • Supply-chain reporting via ET News and others says camera specifications across the S26 series are largely carried over, with the Ultra expected to keep a 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and dual telephoto setup similar to the S25 Ultra.
  • Multiple outlets say image quality improvements are expected to come from computational photography and AI processing rather than new sensors.
  • Leaks point to Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in many markets with possible Exynos 2600 variants, a roughly 6.9-inch display, a 5,000 mAh battery, and faster wired charging in the ~60W range, all unconfirmed.
  • Unverified reports from Ice Universe and TheElec suggest Samsung may revive a Galaxy S26+ model after weak S25 Edge sales, with the series still expected to be announced in early 2026.
