If you were hoping for a total revolution, you might be surprised\u2014Samsung is leaning into &#8220;comfort&#8221; this year over sharp, industrial lines.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">Here is your first real look at the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is expected to headline the Unpacked event on February 25, 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"3\">Design: The Death of Sharp Corners<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">The most immediate thing I noticed? The corners. Samsung is ditching the sharp, &#8220;boxy&#8221; feel of the S25 Ultra in favor of rounded corners.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"5\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"><strong>Ergonomics First:<\/strong> This is a huge win for your palms. It makes the massive 6.9-inch frame much more comfortable to hold for long periods.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"><strong>Camera Island:<\/strong> The rear cameras are shifting to a vertical &#8220;pill-shaped&#8221; island, similar to what we&#8217;ve seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"><strong>Slimmer Profile: <\/strong>It\u2019s tipped to be even thinner at 7.9mm and lighter at 214 grams.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"6\">Display: Privacy Built-In<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Samsung is reportedly introducing a new &#8220;Flex Magic&#8221; privacy technology.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><strong>Shoulder-Surfer Proof: <\/strong>The display is designed to limit viewing angles, meaning people standing next to you on the metro can&#8217;t peek at your private messages or passwords.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><strong>Peak Brightness: <\/strong>Expect a blinding 2,600 to 3,000 nits on that 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"9\">Performance: The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">This is where the S26 Ultra truly earns its &#8220;Ultra&#8221; title. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is built on a hyper-efficient 3nm process.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"11\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"><strong>CPU Speed: <\/strong>The Prime cores are clocked at a staggering 4.61GHz.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"><strong>RAM &amp; Storage: <\/strong>You\u2019re looking at up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"><strong>AI Power: <\/strong>The new NPU is 37% faster, which will be essential for the next generation of &#8220;Agentic AI&#8221; features in One UI 8.5.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"12\">Battery: The 60W Milestone<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">I know, I know\u201445W was starting to feel ancient. Samsung is finally bumping the wired charging speed to 60W.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"14\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"><strong>The Math: <\/strong>You can reportedly get from 0% to 75% in just 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"><strong>Capacity: <\/strong>It\u2019s sticking with a 5,000mAh battery, but the more efficient chipset should mean better actual screen-on time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\"><strong>Why it matters: <\/strong>Samsung is focusing on &#8220;usability&#8221; rather than &#8220;numbers.&#8221; The rounded corners and faster charging solve the two biggest complaints about the Ultra line. However, don&#8217;t look for built-in magnets for Qi2 charging; it looks like you&#8217;ll still need a specific case for that.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">The S26 Ultra is expected to start at \u20ac1,469 (approx. \u20b91,40,000 in India) for the 256GB model.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"18\">Are you ready to trade those sharp corners for a more comfortable grip, or did you prefer the &#8220;Note-like&#8221; boxy look? Let me know, and I\u2019ll keep you posted as the official invite drops!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been tracking the Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks for months, but the latest 3D renders from Evan Blass have finally given us a clear look at what\u2019s actually changing.
