Full Specs and Pricing Leak for Samsung Galaxy S26 Series
The complete specifications and pricing details for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra have been revealed in a recent leak, offering a comprehensive look at what to expect from the next flagship lineup. As anticipated from earlier teasers, Samsung appears to be focusing heavily on AI enhancements this year, while the core hardware remains largely consistent with the previous Galaxy S25 series.
According to the leak, the Galaxy S26 and S26+ will be powered by the Exynos 2600 chipset in Europe, whereas the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Elite for Galaxy processor, boasting slightly overclocked Prime CPU cores for enhanced performance. Memory configurations include 12GB of RAM for the S26 and S26+, with the Ultra model offering up to 16GB of RAM, but only on the 1TB storage variant. Storage options start at 256GB for the base S26 model.
Display, Battery, and Charging Features
The display sizes and resolutions remain unchanged from the S25 lineup, with the S26 sporting a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel at 2340 x 1080 pixels, the S26+ a 6.7-inch display at 3120 x 1440 pixels, and the S26 Ultra a 6.9-inch screen also at 3120 x 1440 pixels. All models support a 120Hz refresh rate and are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2.
Battery capacity sees a modest increase only in the standard S26, which gains an additional 300mAh compared to its predecessor, bringing it to 4300mAh. The S26+ and Ultra maintain their previous capacities of 4900mAh and 5000mAh respectively. Notably, the Ultra supports faster wired charging at up to 60W, while none of the models include built-in magnets for the newer Qi2 wireless charging standard.
Camera Systems Detailed
Camera setups vary significantly across the three models. The Galaxy S26 and S26+ share an identical rear camera array consisting of a 50MP main sensor with f/1.8 aperture, a 10MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide sensor without autofocus. The front-facing camera on all three models is a 12MP unit with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra, however, steps up the photography game with a quad-camera system headlined by a 200MP main sensor featuring an f/1.4 aperture. It also includes a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, a 50MP ultrawide sensor with autofocus, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Video capabilities across the range include 8K recording at 24/30fps and 4K at 30/60fps, supported by features such as HDR10+ and Super Steady Video.
Context and What to Expect Next
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be officially unveiled on 25 February, a date that Samsung has subtly confirmed through its promotional activities. This launch continues Samsung’s strategy of iterative upgrades, focusing on AI and camera improvements while maintaining familiar design and hardware elements from the previous generation. Pricing in the European market is anticipated to start at €999 for the base S26, €1,269 for the S26+, and €1,469 for the Ultra model.
