While the Galaxy S25 Ultra had individually protruding camera lenses, the Galaxy S26 Ultra adopts the vertical camera island design of the Galaxy S25 Edge, albeit with three cameras on the island.
The fourth camera is now positioned on the right side of the camera island, beside the middle portion of the island, alongside an LED flash. The camera island is reportedly quite substantial, protruding 4.5mm from the phone's slim 7.9mm frame.
Similarly, the corners of the Galaxy S26 Ultra appear to be a bit rounded and could improve the in-hand feel of the flagship phone.
With reports hinting at the Galaxy S26 Pro processor to be the Exynos 2600, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The flagship could feature 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM alongside 256 GB UFS 4.1 storage.
Some of the other leaked specifications include a 5,000mAh battery but bumping the charging speed to 60W. The Galaxy S26 series is also expected to feature 25W Qi2.2 charging. Camera-wise, the main 200 MP snapper is expected to get a wider f/1.4 aperture to let more light in.
However, the 3x telephoto snapper could be downgraded to a smaller sensor, but it will still be a 10 MP lens. The 50 MP ultrawide and 5x periscope are expected to remain the same.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in January 2026 and will consist of three phones – Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Since we're potentially only four months away from launch, more information about the smartphones should start dropping soon, so stay tuned!
