In the lead-up to Samsung’s Unpacked event next week, a major leak of promo materials confirms a few key details such as faster charging, while also showing the Privacy Display in better detail than we’ve seen.
Official-looking Samsung promo materials posted on Twitter/X by @ya_sking12767 show off Samsung’s new phones – Galaxy S26, S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, alongside the Galaxy Buds 4 series. There’s prominent Galaxy AI branding, of course, as well as a quick look at Samsung’s Photo Assist feature showing some prompt-based image editing. Samsung previously teased that edits would be more integrated with the rest of the camera experience this year.
The leaked images then go into some more specs and details.
One image shows the Privacy Display, with the entire screen darkened at an off-angle. It’s still unclear whether or not the Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra is an all-or-nothing feature, as prior leaks showed the settings with some granular options. Teasers have also hinted it might be able to apply to only certain portions of the display such as notifications, but this teaser shows that it also works on the whole screen.
There’s also a spec breakdown, showcasing the unchanged camera layout on the Galaxy S26 Ultra – 200MP + 50MP 5x telephoto + 50MP ultrawide + 10MP 3x telephoto + 12MP selfie – and the upgraded performance of the latest Snapdragon chip.
Most notable here is the battery and charging info. The battery size on Galaxy S26 Ultra is unchanged at 5,000 mAh with Samsung saying battery life should be around 31 hours, unchanged from last year., Samsung’s leaked promo also says that the Galaxy S26 Ultra charges 75% in 30 minutes – also seemingly unchanged from last year. There are rumors of 60W charging, but it seemingly doesn’t make a huge difference from the looks of it.
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S26 series will launch on February 25, so we don’t have long to wait to see the whole package!
