Overview
- Multiple reports say Samsung has scrapped the ultra‑thin S26 Edge and will instead ship a three‑model family: Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.
- New CAD‑based images of the S26 Plus show a raised, pill‑shaped camera island and dimensions around 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.35 mm, with color renders noted as illustrative rather than confirmed.
- Ice Universe posted alleged official measurements: S26 at 149.4 x 71.5 x 6.9 mm with a 6.3‑inch display, S26+ at 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3 mm (6.7‑inch), and S26 Ultra at 163.6 x 78.1 x 7.9 mm (6.9‑inch).
- Regional chip splits are again expected, with Exynos 2600 models in markets like Europe and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in the US, China, and Japan; separate reporting suggests the Ultra may be Snapdragon‑only.
- ET News reports a charging boost to 60W wired and up to 25W wireless on the Ultra, with up to 20W wireless on S26 and S26+, while firmware analysis points to 50MP main and 12MP telephoto sensors plus new APV video support on the base and Plus models.
