Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Complete Specifications Leaked
A comprehensive leak has revealed the full specifications for all three models in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series. The leak comes just days before the official unveiling event, giving us a complete look at what Samsung has prepared for its 2026 flagship lineup.
Processor and Performance Differences
The chipset strategy follows a familiar pattern. The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ will reportedly use the Exynos 2600 SoC in European markets. This deca-core processor runs at up to 3.9 GHz on its prime core.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra gets the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. This chip features slightly overclocked Prime CPU cores compared to the standard version, reaching 4.74 GHz. It's the same chip strategy Samsung employed with previous Ultra models.
Memory and Storage Configurations
RAM allocation varies across the lineup. The S26 and S26+ both ship with 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB. The Ultra starts at 12GB but offers 16GB exclusively with the 1TB storage variant. Base storage for all models begins at 256GB.
Display Specifications
Screen sizes and resolutions remain unchanged from the S25 series. The S26 keeps its 6.3-inch display at 2340 x 1080 resolution. Both the S26+ and S26 Ultra share the same 3120 x 1440 resolution, though the Ultra stretches to 6.9 inches versus the Plus at 6.7 inches. All three feature 120Hz refresh rates and Gorilla Armor 2 protection.
Camera System Details
The S26 and S26+ share identical camera hardware. Both use a 50MP main sensor with f/1.8 aperture and 1/1.56-inch size. The telephoto camera offers 10MP resolution with 3x optical zoom. An 12MP ultrawide completes the setup, though it lacks autofocus.
The S26 Ultra pushes camera technology further. Its 200MP main sensor uses a larger f/1.4 aperture for improved low-light performance. The periscope telephoto jumps to 50MP with 5x optical zoom using a 1/2.52-inch sensor. Even the ultrawide gets an upgrade to 50MP with f/1.9 aperture and autofocus support. All three models share the same 12MP selfie camera with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF.
Battery and Charging Capabilities
Battery capacity sees minimal changes. The S26 gains 300mAh over its predecessor, reaching 4300mAh total. The S26+ stays at 4900mAh while the Ultra remains at 5000mAh. Charging speeds vary: 25W for the base S26, 45W for the S26+, and 60W for the Ultra. None of the three models include built-in magnets for Qi2 wireless charging.
Launch Timeline and Software
All three phones will ship with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16. Samsung has scheduled the official unveiling for February 25, 2026. The company has already begun teasing AI-focused features as the primary selling point this generation.
