Samsung Galaxy S26 Series: Rumored Specifications and Potential Enhancements
Recent reports suggest significant upgrades are planned for Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy S26 series, following prior criticism regarding incremental improvements in previous flagship iterations. While these details are currently unconfirmed and should be evaluated with caution, they offer a preliminary glimpse into potential advancements across several key areas.
Galaxy S26 Ultra:
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is purportedly slated to feature an updated M14 OLED display, maintaining a 6.9-inch diagonal. The display is rumored to incorporate an AI-driven privacy feature, potentially based on previously leaked specifications. Camera specifications are expected to retain existing resolutions: 200MP for the primary lens, 50MP for the ultrawide, and 50MP for the 5x telephoto. However, refinements are expected for both the primary and ultrawide camera units. Uncertainty surrounds the 3x telephoto camera, with potential configurations including the existing 12MP sensor, a larger 12MP sensor, or a 50MP sensor. Battery capacity is projected at 5,400 mAh.
Galaxy S26+:
The Galaxy S26+ is expected to receive more substantial camera upgrades. The primary sensor is anticipated to be upgraded to a 1/1.3″ size, replacing the current 1/1.56″ sensor. The ultrawide camera will reportedly be increased to 50MP, while the 10MP telephoto lens will be replaced by a larger 12MP, 1/2.55″ sensor. These specifications suggest the S26+ may utilize the ultrawide and telephoto camera components from the current Galaxy S25 Ultra model.
Galaxy S26 (Standard):
The base Galaxy S26 is expected to receive camera enhancements mirroring those of the S26+, coupled with a modest battery increase to 4,200 or 4,300 mAh.
Additional Model: Slim Galaxy S26
An intriguing addition to the lineup is a rumored “slim” Galaxy S26 model, positioned between the standard S26 and the S26+ in size and features. This model is expected to feature a 6.6-inch display. The primary camera will be 50MP, complemented by ultrawide and telephoto cameras, also both 50MP. Battery capacity is estimated at approximately 4,300 mAh.
Platform and Processing:
The entire Galaxy S26 series, including the standard, Plus, Ultra, and the slim variant, is anticipated to utilize either the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or the Exynos 2600 processor, depending on the geographical region.
