Overview
- New images from Evan Blass and a briefly posted Cifrus listing show the S26 Ultra’s pill-shaped camera island, rounded corners, bottom-silo S Pen, and four colors (black, white, silver shadow, cobalt violet), with sky blue and pink gold also rumored.
- Leaks consolidate key Ultra specs: a 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED (M14) screen, a 200MP-led quad camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in some markets, roughly a 5,000mAh battery, and faster charging around 60W wired and 25W wireless with Qi2 that may require magnetic cases.
- Reported initial production targets favor the Ultra at about 3.6 million units versus roughly 700,000 for the S26 and 600,000 for the S26+, signaling Samsung plans to stock the top model most heavily.
- Standard S26 and S26+ are tipped to share a triple rear camera with a 50MP main sensor, modest battery increases, and a region-dependent split between Exynos 2600 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
- Galaxy Unpacked is widely tipped for February 25 in San Francisco with retail availability around March 11, and recent reporting suggests any price changes could be selective, with the Ultra potentially holding last year’s pricing.
