Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

One of the few actual upgrades coming to the Galaxy S26 series is the “Privacy Display” expected to launch on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and in continued teasers, Samsung seems to know exactly how you’ll be using it.

The Galaxy S26 leaks just don’t stop, with the latest batch of images giving us our best look at the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra in their core color options.

With Samsung gearing up for the firm’s yearly smartphone launch, and with the benefit of hindsight, we sort of need the Galaxy S26 to at least make some notable improvements over its predecessors or risk losing potential buyers.

In a few days, Samsung will announce the Galaxy S26 series and the key changes that come with it, and newly leaked specs detail those changes ahead of time. They aren’t as dramatic as some may have hoped.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is getting its fair share of leaks right before launch, as is the custom. The latest renders are 360-degree views of Samsung’s premium flagship.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series was expected to deliver on a few key upgrades that were long overdue, but that all went out the window last year when Samsung apparently decided to go all-in on avoiding a price hike. Despite killing those upgrades, though, leaks suggest that the price is going up anyway.

We’re likely under a month away from Samsung’s official unveiling of the Galaxy S26 series, but that doesn’t mean the leaks have to stop. New renders are showcasing the Galaxy S26 Ultra in all four of its previously-leaked colorways, most of which look as familiar as the phone itself.

The Galaxy S26 trio initially seemed like it might shake up Samsung’s usual status quo, but some stiff competition from Apple and a failed attempt to relaunch the Edge series seems to have thrown those original plans out the window. Now, it seems like the Galaxy S26 Ultra might be boring in a different way, as it appears to be losing out on its usual color-matching stylus for something a little more boardroom-friendly.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series is looking all but confirmed for a February 25 launch event, while new leaks reveal official-looking images and alleged specs for the trio.

New reports reveal that Samsung is, in fact, planning to raise the price of the Galaxy S26 series, but only for a couple of models. The most expensive version is actually getting cheaper.

Samsung is teasing the Galaxy S26’s new “Privacy display” feature in a series of new videos that showcase how the feature will keep your screen private from nearby onlookers.

Samsung recently took to its website to share a huge set of new updates to its Good Lock suite of features coming in One UI 8.5, but inadvertently, confirmed one of the biggest Galaxy S26 Ultra features in the process.

New leaks have revealed the likely lineup for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra colors, and it sounds pretty tame.

While the launch date is a fair bit later this year, leaks continue to detail Samsung’s plans for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. In the latest leak, we’re getting a better look at the hardware and how the Galaxy S26 design is changing.

An insider report indicates that Samsung may have “noped” out on delivering the Galaxy S26 Edge alongside the traditional three devices, which pushes the Galaxy S26 series release up to its initially expected February launch timeframe.

In a big shift, it was rumored that Samsung would rely on its own Exynos 2600 chip for most Galaxy S26 devices. That might be a massive exaggeration, as Qualcomm still expects to power the large majority of Galaxy S26 phones in 2026.

Samsung seems to be committed to making Exynos SoCs a bigger deal in its own flagship lineup, and that likely starts with the Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26 series.

According to a new report, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series will go all-in on Exynos chips including on the top-end Ultra model, as Exynos 2600 prepares a powerful offering.

Samsung has three new flagships on the way for next year, but not all of them are seeing revolutionary changes. While the usual base model gains a new suffix and the typical ‘Plus’ model is getting replaced by a slimmer smartphone, it’s looking like the Galaxy S26 Ultra is an evolution on what came before.

The Galaxy S26 might mean a meaningful upgrade for the majority of users, as reports seem to indicate that Samsung plans on using its own M14 display panels, bringing it up to par with the iPhone 17 Pro. Samsung is also using a tech that’s already used in its foldables.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be an impressive piece of design, but with one obvious shortcoming: its massive camera bump. With next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung could be bringing that design to its standard phablet, without any noticeable changes to its sensor lineup.
