Just days after Samsung teased big upgrades in AI, performance, and camera technology during its Q3 2025 earnings call, new leaks have surfaced revealing what could be the full specifications of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series.
According to the leak, shared by tipster Alchimist Leaks, Samsung’s next flagship lineup — particularly the Galaxy S26 Ultra — will see significant improvements in camera sensors, display technology, and AI integration. The new devices are also said to feature Samsung’s latest M14 OLED panels with Quad HD resolution.
Galaxy S26 Ultra: Bigger, Smarter, and Sharper
The highlight of the leak is the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which reportedly features a 6.9-inch Quad HD OLED display using Samsung’s M14 OLED technology. This panel is expected to deliver higher brightness, better color accuracy, and improved power efficiency.
Interestingly, the Ultra model may also debut a new AI-powered privacy screen feature, allowing users to control viewing angles and prevent shoulder peeking — a first for Samsung smartphones.
Powerful Quad-Camera Setup
Cameras have always been the main attraction of Samsung’s Ultra models, and the S26 Ultra appears to continue that tradition. The leak suggests a quad rear camera system featuring:
-
An updated 200MP primary sensor
-
A new ultra-wide lens
-
A 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom
-
And a fourth lens, which could either be a 12MP 3x zoom or a 50MP 3x zoom module, depending on configuration
These changes indicate Samsung is focusing heavily on improving zoom performance and low-light image quality across all lenses.
Galaxy S26 and S26+ to Get Major Sensor Upgrades Too
The leak also details upgrades for the standard Galaxy S26 and S26+ models. Both phones are said to feature triple rear cameras, consisting of:
-
A 50MP main sensor (1/1.3 or 1/1.56-inch size)
-
A 50MP ultra-wide lens
-
A 12MP 3x telephoto lens
While the setup may sound familiar, Samsung is reportedly using larger and more advanced sensors, promising better dynamic range and detail compared to the S25 series.
Performance and Battery Details
As usual, Samsung will reportedly follow its dual-chip strategy — meaning the phones will be powered by either the Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, depending on the market.
-
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to include S Pen support and a 5,400mAh battery.
-
The Galaxy S26+ will feature a 6.7-inch M14 OLED display and a 4,900mAh battery.
-
The standard Galaxy S26 will get a 6.3-inch display and a 4,300mAh battery.
All models are expected to come with Quad HD resolution and AI-enhanced display controls.
A New Slim Model in the Works
Interestingly, while Samsung has reportedly canceled the Galaxy S26 Edge, a new variant could take its place. The yet-unnamed model is said to feature a 6.6-inch Quad HD M14 OLED screen, sitting between the standard and Plus models in size.
It may come powered by the Exynos 2600 chipset and carry a 4,300mAh battery, along with a triple 50MP camera setup — main, ultra-wide, and telephoto. The device will apparently have a slimmer body than the former Edge series, focusing on design aesthetics while maintaining flagship-grade performance.
If these leaks are accurate, the Galaxy S26 lineup could represent Samsung’s most ambitious update yet — blending AI-driven features, next-gen display tech, and massive camera upgrades across all models.
With AI integration at the core and M14 OLED panels leading the visuals, the Galaxy S26 series looks set to redefine Samsung’s flagship experience when it launches in early 2026.
