Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Tipped for Feb. 25 Unpacked Debut With Efficiency-Focused Upgrades

Fresh leaks emphasize practical upgrades over a flashy redesign, signaling a refinement-focused year for Samsung’s flagship.

Overview

  • Multiple reports, including a date reiterated by tipster Evan Blass, point to a Feb. 25 Unpacked event with retail availability likely in early March.
  • Display leaks cite a new M14 OLED panel claiming roughly 20–30% better power efficiency than M13 plus an integrated privacy feature that narrows viewing angles.
  • Camera rumors highlight wider apertures on the main and 5x lenses (around f/1.4 and f/2.9) alongside lens-coating and software tweaks to reduce flare and refine skin tones.
  • Performance is expected to come from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with a standard TSMC 3nm version and talk of a Samsung Foundry 2nm ‘For Galaxy’ variant.
  • Hardware whispers suggest faster 60W wired charging, a modest battery bump to roughly 5100–5400mAh in a slimmer body with a more pronounced camera bump, and unconfirmed pricing that could track S25 levels globally with an India estimate near ₹1,25,999.
