Overview
- Photos and video from tipster OnLeaks show the S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra with a consolidated, raised camera island reminiscent of Samsung’s Fold line.
- Industry reporting now pegs the Unpacked reveal for late February, rumored for February 25, with retail availability expected in March pending confirmation.
- Tipster accounts indicate Samsung is pursuing practical imaging gains through improved lens coatings, skin‑tone processing and other tuning rather than introducing new primary sensors.
- Multiple outlets continue to expect a region‑based chipset split, with Samsung’s Exynos 2600 in some markets and Qualcomm Snapdragon variants in others.
- Reporters note the images depict non‑functional dummy units that may differ from retail hardware, and the larger camera island could increase desk wobble without a case.
