Overview
- A reliable tipster known as Ice Universe reports the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra will again top out at 2,600 nits, matching the S25 series.
- The lineup is still tipped to use Samsung Display’s M14 OLED material, which is described as boosting efficiency, thinness, and long‑term reliability rather than headline luminance.
- The same source says it is unclear whether the panels will add 10‑bit color depth or high‑frequency PWM dimming for reduced flicker.
- Coverage notes that holding at 2,600 nits would leave Samsung behind recent iPhone 17 and Pixel 10 devices in peak‑brightness comparisons.
- Other rumored changes include faster charging for the Ultra, a regional Snapdragon/Exynos split, and an AI privacy feature called Flex Magic Pixel, all still unconfirmed.
