Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — What We Know So Far
📅 Expected Launch & Price
Multiple reports suggest the S26 Ultra will be launched in January or February 2026.
In India, the leaked starting price for the base variant (256 GB) is around ₹1,59,990.
Samsung may unveil the series, including the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra, together.
🧠 Anticipated Key Specifications
Here’s a roundup of the most consistent leaks and rumours:
| Component | Rumoured Details |
|---|---|
| Display | ≈ 6.9-inch OLED, 120 Hz refresh rate, ultra-slim bezels. |
| Processor | Likely the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 / Gen 5 in many regions; possible Exynos chipset in some. |
| RAM / Storage | Up to 16 GB RAM, storage variants up to 1 TB. |
| Cameras | Quad-camera setup rumoured: 200 MP main sensor + 50 MP ultra-wide + 50 MP (5×) telephoto + ~12 MP (3×) telephoto. |
| Battery & Charging | Leaks point to ~5,000mAh battery (some say 5,500mAh) with 60W wired fast charging (upgraded from previous 45W). |
| Design & Features | Slimmer body, refined camera island instead of large lens rings, possible further software support (One UI 8) and enhanced cooling. |
✅ What Makes It Stand Out
The camera upgrade (especially the main sensor and telephoto) appears to be a major leap for Samsung’s flagship line.
Faster charging and improved performance (thanks to newer chipset + cooling) could improve the daily experience.
Premium build and improved display/screen-to-body ratio make it a top contender in 2026.
⚠️ Things to Be Careful About
As with all leaks, specs are not confirmed until official launch — changes may occur.
Some users are cautious about battery capacity remaining the same (≈5,000mAh) despite being flagship level.
Pricing is quite high — if the launch price holds, away from budget or mid-range buyers.
Some regions may get different chipset (Exynos vs Snapdragon) which sometimes leads to variant performance differences.
📝 Final Thoughts
If you’re a tech enthusiast planning to upgrade, the Galaxy S26 Ultra looks very promising — especially if you prioritise camera performance, premium build, and future-proof features.
If your budget is tighter or you already have a recent flagship, you might wait to see real-world reviews after launch.
In any case, keeping an eye on the official announcement and pre-order offers will be key.
