Samsung's next flagship launch is now just weeks away and leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 series will arrive with three models once again: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. While most attention usually goes to the Ultra, fresh details around the standard Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26 Plus show that the South Korean tech giant may be planning some big upgrades here as well.
From subtle design tweaks to familiar camera hardware and updated internals, here's a closer look at everything that we know so far about the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus.
Samsung Galaxy S26, Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus Design And Specifications
Renders shared by Android Headlines suggest that both phones will look very similar to their predecessors at first glance. The flat frame, clean back panel and centred punch-hole camera remain. The noticeable change appears around the rear cameras. Unlike the Galaxy S25 series, where the lenses sat almost flush with the back, the Galaxy S26 lineup is tipped to feature a slightly raised camera island. The design reportedly resembles what Samsung introduced with the Galaxy S25 Edge.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 is most likely to come with a 6.3-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display. Leaked dimensions put it at around 149.6 x 71.7 x 7.2mm, with a weight of roughly 137g. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus, on the other hand, could come with a 6.7-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED panel. It is tipped to measure about 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3mm and weigh close to 190g. Apart from the screen size, both models are expected to feel very similar in hand.
Samsung is once again expected to follow a dual-chip strategy. The Samsung Galaxy S26 and Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus may ship with the Exynos 2600 chipset in select markets, while other regions could get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Both handsets are set to run Android 16 with One UI 8.5 out of the box.
Coming to the battery, the Samsung Galaxy S26 could pack a 4300 mAh battery, while the Galaxy S26 Plus may come with a larger 4900 mAh cell.
Both smartphones are anticipated to have a triple rear camera setup for photography, consisting of a 10-megapixel telephoto camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel primary sensor. Samsung is probably going to continue using a 12-megapixel front camera for selfies.
