Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Specifications
The device is expected to pack a large 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness up to 3000 nits.
The Samsung S26 Ultra camera is rumoured to include a massive 200MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The front camera is expected to be a 12MP camera with 4K video recording support.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip in some regions, while others may get the Exynos 2600. The memory options are a 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Here is the main catch — as per the company, the battery capacity is rumoured to increase to 5200mAh from the previous 5000mAh with faster wired charging at 60W. Now, this is very little to be called an upgrade for a smartphone at this price range, and for the name it has carved out over the years. It’s worth noting that Samsung has always played it safe with batteries and fast charging tech after its debacle with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in 2017.
Some additional Samsung S26 Ultra features also include Samsung’s “Flex Magic Pixel” privacy display technology, which helps narrow the viewing angle to prevent onlookers from peeking at the screen content. On the connectivity front, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Ultra Wideband, and 5G band support for global compatibility.
Overview
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra looks set to be a premium flagship offering with major upgrades in camera and processing power, but one thing that needs a bit of attention is that the phones in the lower range offer a battery capacity of up to 7000mAh, so it is high time Samsung should step up and provide a bigger battery for this price range.
