Leak of an almost complete technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy S26 shook the smartphone market this Monday, December 1, 2025. Insider Ice Universe released details about the standard models, Plus and Ultra, highlighting incremental hardware adjustments. The revelation occurred via social media post, without official confirmation from the South Korean manufacturer. The specifications suggest continuity of the line, with a focus on energy efficiency.
The material compares the devices to their S25 series predecessors, revealing little change in key components. Samsung plans to launch in January or February 2026, depending on final development adjustments. Especialistas point out that the new features meet demands for daily performance, but there are significant leaps forward in cameras.
- Main confirmed models: Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra.
- Variant Edge canceled due to poor reception in internal tests.
- Emphasis on integrating Galaxy AI for everyday tasks.
More ergonomic and lightweight design
The dimensions of the new Galaxy S26 indicate a reduction in thickness of around 3 mm and a weight of 3 grams for the base model. Bordas rounded frames bring comfort to handling, differing from the recent square look.
Leaked renderings show a pill-shaped camera module at the rear, grouping sensors compactly. Essa configuration maintains visual balance without excessive bulges. The titanium finish continues on the Ultra, with color options like violet and mint for smaller variants.
Evolving processor and memory
The Galaxy S26 adopts the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 as its main processor, with a customized version for the Galaxy line. In selected markets, the 2 nm Exynos 2600 appears as an alternative, prioritizing efficiency in energy consumption.
RAM memory reaches 12 GB in the base and Plus models, while the Ultra reaches 16 GB. Internal Armazenamento starts at 256GB for everyone, eliminating the 128GB option seen in past generations. Essa change addresses the growth of AI apps and files.
Multitasking performance gains with advanced lithography, reducing heat in extended sessions. Testes simulations indicate a 15% gain in graphics processing speed.
Screen with subtle adjustments
The Galaxy S26’s screen grows to 6.3 inches in FHD+ resolution, with a refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz. Brilho maximum remains at 2,600 nits, ensuring visibility in intense outdoor environments.
On the S26 Plus and Ultra, 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch QHD panels use M14 OLED technology for greater durability. Adaptive variation optimizes consumption, extending use in economy modes.
10-bit color calibration improves reproduction of HDR content, without radical changes in curvature.
Camera configuration without surprises
The 200 MP main sensor on the Ultra maintains the HP2, with a larger aperture for low-light capture. Telefoto 10 MP with 3x zoom and 50 MP periscope with 5x complete the quadruple set.
Base and Plus models repeat a trio of cameras, with a 50 MP ultrawide and 12 MP front. Processamento via Galaxy AI improves edge detection in portraits, but hardware remains identical to the S25.
Software updates focus on night fusion and auto-HDR, increasing quality without changing sensors.
Optimized battery and recharge
Capacity rises to 4,300 mAh in the base S26, compared to 4,000 mAh previously, with autonomy projected at 12 hours of mixed use. The Ultra holds 5,000 mAh, but has a 60 W recharge, compared to 45 W.
Qi2 support increases induction to 15 W, compatible with magnetic accessories. Gerenciamento thermal via new chip prevents performance drops during fast cycles.
Prototype tests show a full recharge in 45 minutes for the Ultra, benefiting users in busy routines.
Featured colors and accessories
Finish options include black, white, violet for the Ultra and mint, coral for base and Plus. Estrutura in anodized aluminum resists scratches, with IP68 protection maintained.
Accessories such as magnetic covers and Qi2 supports integrate the Galaxy ecosystem. Vazamentos of wallpapers suggest themes adapted to the new tones.
Global availability begins in Asian markets, expanding to Europa and Américas in March 2026.
Integrating AI into everyday life
Galaxy AI features expand to real-time photo editing and audio transcription. Gemini integrates contextual searches, processing commands via the cloud or local.
On the S26 Ultra, neural processing accelerates 4K video rendering. Modelos minors prioritize efficiency in calls and navigation.
Monthly security updates ensure compatibility for seven years.
Preparation for launch
Samsung has completed testing on Ultra, but adjustments to the baseline may delay the Unpacked event to February 25, 2026, on San Francisco. Reservas open weeks in advance, with discounts on exchanges.
Projected starting prices maintain the same level as the S25, starting at US$799 for the base. Competição with Chinese rivals pushes for inclusive packages.
The line reinforces its premium positioning, with a focus on durability and initial 6G connectivity.
