Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Full Specs and Prices Leak Ahead of Launch — Source: GSMArena

A comprehensive new leak has revealed the complete spec sheets and European pricing for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup, including the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to a report by GSMArena, this year’s refresh focuses more on AI-driven software enhancements rather than major hardware upgrades compared to the Galaxy S25 series.

AI Takes Center Stage

Per GSMArena, Samsung has been teasing artificial intelligence as the headline feature for the Galaxy S26 family. While the hardware changes appear incremental, the company is expected to lean heavily into AI-powered features within One UI 8.5 based on Android 16.

Chipsets and Performance

The leak claims the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2600 in Europe. This deca-core chip reportedly includes:

• 1x C1-Ultra core clocked at 3.9GHz
• 3x C1-Prox cores at 3.25GHz
• 6x C1-Prox cores at 2.75GHz

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is tipped to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, including slightly overclocked Prime CPU cores for enhanced performance.

RAM and storage configurations vary by model. The S26 and S26+ will ship with 12GB of RAM, while the Ultra can reach 16GB of RAM, but only in the 1TB storage variant. Notably, the base Galaxy S26 will start at 256GB of storage, eliminating the 128GB tier.

Displays Remain Familiar

Screen sizes and resolutions remain unchanged from the Galaxy S25 series:

• Galaxy S26: 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 2340 x 1080, 120Hz
• Galaxy S26+: 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 3120 x 1440, 120Hz
• Galaxy S26 Ultra: 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 3120 x 1440, 120Hz

All three devices are protected by Corning Gorilla Armor 2.

Cameras: Ultra Still Leads

The Galaxy S26 and S26+ reportedly share identical rear camera systems:

• 50MP main camera (f/1.8, 1/1.56″, OIS)
• 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom (f/2.4, OIS)
• 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2, no autofocus)

The Galaxy S26 Ultra, however, brings a more advanced quad-camera setup:

• 200MP main sensor (f/1.4, 1/1.3″, OIS)
• 50MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom (f/2.8)
• 50MP ultrawide with autofocus (f/1.9)
• 10MP 3x telephoto (OIS)

All three phones include the same 12MP front-facing camera with dual-pixel PDAF and 4K video recording at up to 60fps.

Video features across the lineup include 8K recording at 24/30fps, 4K up to 60fps, 10-bit HDR, HDR10+, stereo sound recording, and gyro-EIS stabilization.

Battery and Charging

Battery capacity changes are minimal this year:

• Galaxy S26: 4,300mAh (25W wired charging) — a 300mAh increase over its predecessor
• Galaxy S26+: 4,900mAh (45W wired charging)
• Galaxy S26 Ultra: 5,000mAh (60W wired charging)

All models support wireless charging, but notably, none include built-in magnets for Qi2 wireless charging, according to the leak.

Connectivity and Features

The Galaxy S26 series will support:

• 5G
• Wi-Fi 7 (be)
• Bluetooth 5.4
• NFC
• USB-C
• Face recognition
• Stereo speakers
• Satellite positioning via GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and BDS

Dual SIM support varies slightly, with Nano/eSIM on the base model and Nano/Nano/eSIM options on higher tiers.

Dimensions and Colors

The design language appears largely unchanged, with similar dimensions and weights to the S25 generation. Color options are said to include White, Blue, Black, and Purple.

European Pricing (Leaked)

According to GSMArena, EU pricing is expected to start at:

• Galaxy S26: €999
• Galaxy S26+: €1,269
• Galaxy S26 Ultra: €1,469

Final pricing and availability will be confirmed once Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy S26 series.

If this leak proves accurate, the Galaxy S26 lineup represents an evolutionary upgrade centered on AI enhancements, modest performance gains, and camera refinements—while maintaining Samsung’s established flagship formula.
