At this point, including the release date, price and specifications, there are everything we know.

Rumors suggest the potential changes of the name rules. but, Samsung can stop the standard Galaxy S model after the S25 series.In 2026, only Galaxy S26+and Galaxy S26 Ultra are left.

According to Yogesh brarThe S26 ULTRA changes the brand with the S26 reference to emphasize the S Pen integration. Similarly, the name of the S26+can be renamed to S26 PRO, and the trend of ‘Pro’ models found on various telephone brands is increasing.

If the S26+ or S26 Pro does not make sense without S26, I don’t know how the name is working here. If Samsung kills the S26, we expect to abandon “+” instead of more powerful S26+ models to switch to S26. But I can’t see this actually destroying this.

Given the new things S25 edge Unexpected successors can arrive at the same time in 2026. The specific details have not been released yet, but it seems to be a slim model with rumors before the Galaxy S25 launch. If Samsung kills a normal S26, maybe a second -generation edge handset can take a seat to maintain three options in the main lineup.

What is the cost of Samsung Galaxy S26 series?

The price of the Galaxy S26 series is purely speculated at this stage. But the price is probably a slight increase in the S25 series.

Despite being far from the expected launch, rumors of the Galaxy S26 series have already appeared.

design

In addition to the potential name change, there is no information on specific design elements such as current materials (glass, metal or combination), color options or overall aesthetic choices.

Whether titanium builds remain exclusively in ULTRA, or whether potential edge models can adopt this.

Luke Baker / Foundry

Given that Samsung has changed its design in the Galaxy S25 series in the Galaxy S24 series, it is likely that the successor will be the same. In other words, I hope you will return to the S Pen of the Galaxy S24 rather than the less impressive version shipped with the Galaxy S25.

According to elecIt is important to integrate the COE (COE (Color-Filter-on-Thin-Film-Incapsulation) technology into the display of S26 Ultra.

It is highly famous Financial news I agree to report that the SAMSUNG guarantees a lot of resources so that the Exynos 2600 is ready for the Galaxy S26.

However, even if EXYNOS power supply to the non -ultra model in Europe, we are not sure if it includes North America using SnapDragon chipset exclusively in recent years.

Leakage Jukanlosreve “The chip volume is so limited that it can be similar to the EXYNOS 990 situation.” For those who can’t remember, the Exynos 990 chipset was rarely used when the Galaxy S20 was released. But this has been found to be a blessing of disguise because the processor has gained strength compared to the SnapDragon opponent.

Therefore, the Galaxy S26 series will be driven by some doses by SnapDragon 8 Elite Gen 2.

Information on certain processors, RAM configuration and storage options is not currently available.

camera

According to Chinese leaks Digital chat stationThe S26 ULTRA is featured in the 50MP of the S25 ULTRA, featuring the state -of -the -art 200MP Periscope telephoto camera. Tips for reputation Panda flash I agree, but there will be only one 200MP sensor, not two emphasis.

As a result, Samsung is increasing among Chinese telephone manufacturers who are increasingly integrating high -resolution lens into flagship devices. It would be a good idea to see the S26 Ultra receiving a meaningful telephoto upgrade.

ICE University, a well -known Twitter tip, has reported that variable aperture can be provided with S26’s default cameras. This adapts to various lighting conditions to improve bright daylight shots and low light performance.

problem? All Under Play Selfie lenses on the market provide ordinary image quality, including Samsung itself. Galaxy Z fold 6. We should see a good enough upgrade for those who enjoy high quality selfies.

but, Leaker PandaFlash suggests It is “impossible” for Samsung to introduce a display underplay play selfie camera on Ultra phone “in the next 2-3 years.”

Details of the camera systems of the rest of the S26 series, including specific camera functions such as sensor size, video recording and advanced AI photo mode, are under the rap.

Battery and charging

Weibo Tipster Citation Ice space,,, Jukanlosreve In X/Twitter, the silicon carbon battery technology is the potential competitor of the S26 series. Financial news In Korea, I think it can increase the battery capacity of the 6000-7000mAh.

This technology also promises higher energy density, improving battery life and faster charging speed.

But leakage Pandaflash claims The battery of the S26 ULTRA suggests that it is not greater than 5500mAh and can delete an X (previous Twitter) account with a 6000mAh or higher.
