Samsung is preparing to unveil its next flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, early in 2026, and leaks suggest significant updates across multiple features. The 2025 S25 Ultra received strong attention, indicating Samsung’s continued push to compete with high-end Pro Max smartphones.
Industry insiders predict that Samsung will reveal the Galaxy S26 Ultra in January 2026. The announcement is expected to be part of the latest edition of the Galaxy Unpacked event, following the company’s trend of early-year flagship launches.
The S26 Ultra is likely to maintain the core design of the S25 Ultra but with minor refinements that improve the overall look. Reports indicate that the display may incorporate a new privacy technology, reducing reliance on third-party screen protectors and enhancing user confidentiality.
Powering the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, possibly paired with 16GB of RAM. This upgrade is anticipated to improve multitasking, support advanced AI features, and deliver smoother overall performance for demanding applications.
The S26 Ultra is expected to retain its triple-camera configuration. While major changes to the hardware appear limited, Samsung may enhance sensor capabilities, offering better image quality and improved functionality for photography enthusiasts.
Battery improvements remain under speculation, with rumors pointing to the possible adoption of silicon carbon technology. Additionally, the device may support faster charging speeds, potentially reaching 60W, which could reduce charging times significantly.
