I can’t find this leaked series of Galaxy S26, the specs are off my mind
What you need to know
- The leaked rendering of the Galaxy S26 Ultra suggests a 6.9-inch flat display with a raised, vertical triple camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.
- The Galaxy S26 Plus and S26 sport the same camera bar swaps with flat displays and the same batteries as the previous generation.
- The latest rumors suggest that we could have a Galaxy Unpacked event coming up on February 25, 2026.
As if the Galaxy Unpacked rumors earlier today weren’t enough, now, there’s a big report that might show what the Galaxy S26 series will look like.
Android News headlines revealed the alleged release of the Galaxy S26 series today (Jan 30), giving us (probably) our best look yet. Starting with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, renderings of the publication suggest a design similar to that of the S25 Ultra. It looks like consumers will still be showing off a flat 6.9-inch display, along with smaller bezels.
On that front, the S26 Ultra offers similar vibes; However, the publication suspects that the back panel is where things could change. This has been speculated before, but given this they say that Samsung will send a direct camera similar to its Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Three cameras appear to sit on top of the vertical bar like the Fold 7. The post adds that the device’s photography capabilities may include a 200MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto. There is a reported fourth lens, too, which could be a 50MP periscope telephoto. Additionally, a 5,000mAh battery is suspected to power the Galaxy S26 Ultra this year.
Plus & Base
Flipping the text, we have the Galaxy S26 Plus and the Galaxy S26. The render, too, features the same design as the Galaxy S25 variant, but with the same raised camera bar for the cameras.
Rumors say that the Galaxy S26 Plus may offer a 6.7-inch QHD Plus Dynamic AMOLED flat display with a 4,900mAh battery. For its camera setup, the S26 Plus is rumored to retain its 50MP primary lens, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto lens. What has been published is whether Samsung has improved its telephoto zoom or whether it will stay at 3x like the S25 Plus. There’s a 12MP selfie camera for the Plus, too.
The base model of the Galaxy S26 is expected to have a 6.3-inch flat display and a 4,300mAh battery. Still with that raised camera bar, the Galaxy S26 is rumored to feature a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto. The selfie camera is rumored to sit at 12MP.
We’ve seen offers similar to this leaked late last year, so most of these are no surprise. However, as the publication indicates, the devices are expected to receive Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC for the US market. This difference is because Samsung reportedly wants to power its new series with the Exynos 2600, but only in certain regions. Samsung’s internal chip may debut in a number of overseas markets, such as the EU.
Android Central Take
To my great delight, Samsung seems to be keeping that flat display and rounded corners of its Galaxy S26 series. That last point is aimed at the S26 Ultra, in particular, simply because the rounded corners “feel right” with the old sharp, boxy design (although he looked ok). The Galaxy S26 series seems to be uniting to be more intelligent in terms of performance and clarity, which is beneficial for gamers and people who like to scroll and watch videos all day (my hand is raised).
