Samsung is gearing up for its next flagship series- the Galaxy S26 lineup. While the company has been tight-lipped about the same, a fresh leak sheds light on the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G, revealing notable design changes and hardware upgrades. The device is tipped to feature a refined, more fluid design that maintains its hallmark S Pen support. The handset will reportedly measure under 8mm in thickness and weigh below 218g. The stylus is also said to be in for a makeover, adopting curved, smoother contours to streamline with the Ultra’s aesthetics.
SurveyHere’s what we know so far about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra specs (leaked)
On the front, Samsung could pack in a 6.9-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth animations and gaming. Under the hood, the smartphone is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the latest and most powerful silicon from Qualcomm. Battery-wise, leaks suggest a 5,500mAh unit with 60W fast charging, marking a slight bump in both capacity and charging speed compared to its predecessor.
Additionally, the phone is rumoured to ditch Samsung’s in-house 200MP ISOCELL sensor in favour of a 200MP Sony sensor, which could translate to better low-light performance and improved image processing. The rest of the quad-camera array may include a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, a 12MP telephoto shooter, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera.
