Samsung’s next Ultra flagship is already in the spotlight, months before its official debut. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has surfaced in multiple leaks, giving us a fairly clear picture of what the company is planning for 2026. While this doesn’t look like a radical overhaul, Samsung seems focused on refining the Ultra experience with subtle design tweaks, faster charging and upgraded internals.
Here’s everything we know so far about the Galaxy S26 Ultra — from launch date and expected India price to design, camera and specifications.
Galaxy S26 Ultra Design: Familiar Look, Cleaner Camera Setup
Leaked dummy unit images suggest Samsung is sticking to its premium, boxy Ultra design language. The phone is expected to retain a flat frame, sharp edges and a large footprint — very much in line with recent Ultra models.

That said, there is one noticeable change. According to leaks shared by tipster OnLeaks, Samsung may be ditching the individual floating camera rings this time. Instead, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is tipped to feature a more unified rear camera module, similar to what we’ve seen on recent foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold series. It’s a small change, but one that could make the back look cleaner and more cohesive.
Display and Performance: Bigger Screen, New Snapdragon Chip
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to sport a massive 6.9-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung’s displays are already among the best in the business, and this panel is likely to offer improved brightness and efficiency.
Under the hood, the phone is rumoured to be powered by Qualcomm’s next flagship chip — the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This could be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and storage options going all the way up to 1TB, making it a serious powerhouse for heavy users.
Battery and Software: Faster Charging at Last?
Battery capacity is expected to remain unchanged at 5,000mAh, which has become standard for Ultra models. The good news is on the charging front. Leaks suggest Samsung may finally push fast charging to 60W, a noticeable upgrade over previous generations.
On the software side, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is likely to launch with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16, bringing refinements to Galaxy AI features, smoother animations and longer software support.
Galaxy S26 Ultra Camera: High-Resolution Setup Continues
Samsung appears to be sticking with a high-resolution camera strategy. As per current leaks, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could feature:
- 200MP primary rear camera
- 50MP ultra-wide sensor
- 50MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom
- 12MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom
If true, this setup should deliver strong zoom performance and improved low-light results, building on Samsung’s already solid camera reputation.

Galaxy S26 Series Launch Date and Expected Price in India
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup at its Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25, 2026, reportedly in San Francisco.
Interestingly, early reports from South Korea suggest Samsung may not hike prices this year. If that holds, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could launch in India at around ₹1,29,999, similar to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
While these details are still based on leaks, the overall picture suggests Samsung is playing it safe — polishing what already works rather than reinventing the Ultra formula. More clarity should emerge as we get closer to launch.
