Overview
- Reports differ on timing, with one placing Galaxy Unpacked in late January with early‑February sales and another pointing to February 25 in San Francisco.
- Qualcomm says it will supply most S26 processors as coverage points to a Snapdragon/Exynos regional split, with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in all S26 Ultra units worldwide.
- Multiple reports say Samsung prioritized pricing over thinness, dialing back a planned 4,900 mAh battery and slimmer chassis to roughly 4,300 mAh and about 7.2 mm for the base S26.
- A new leak outlines cameras across the range, including a 200 MP main sensor on the S26 Ultra and 50 MP main + 12 MP ultrawide + 12 MP 3x telephoto on the S26 and S26+.
- Dummy images of a 5.5 mm Galaxy S26 Edge surfaced, but coverage indicates Samsung is moving forward with three models—S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra—without an Edge variant.
