Early leaks of Samsung’s **Galaxy S26 series**—which includes the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra—suggest that it will get some design changes and hardware upgrades ahead of an expected launch in February 2026.
design improvements
The leaked renders and dummy units show flat frames with a refined rear camera module. The standard S26 has a pill-shaped island with three vertically stacked lenses, while the Ultra has a more complex layout in which some of the lenses will probably be spaced apart. Colors include black and white options, and there are rounded corners for better ergonomics.
Display and performance
The Ultra is expected to feature a 6.9-inch QHD+ M14 OLED panel with high brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate. The S26+ may get a 6.7-inch variant, and the base S26 will have around a 6.3-inch screen. Power will come from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (probably global for Ultra) or Samsung’s Exynos 2600 in some regions, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and Android 16-based One UI 8.5.
Camera and Battery Upgrade
The Ultra will retain its quad setup with a 200MP main sensor, with potential sensor improvements for better low light and zoom. The base and Plus models will have triple cameras (probably a 50MP primary). According to battery rumors, it will have a capacity of around 5,000–5,400mAh and will support fast charging.
launch timeline
Samsung may launch the series at an Unpacked event in San Francisco on February 25, 2026, and sales will begin in March. Prices are expected to remain stable regardless of component costs.
These details come from trusted leakers and media reports; Official confirmation is awaited. The S26 series focuses on improvement rather than revolution. (298 words)
