Samsung Galaxy S26: What we know so far

Like the previous year, Samsung is expected to offer the Galaxy S26 in three variants-- the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra. And, possibly bring S26 Edge and S26 FE series later in the year.

Samsung's phones, particularly the Galaxy S series, come with a world-class display with top-of-the-line anti-glare coating and the brightest display panels on a phone in the industry. Now, the upcoming flagship phone promises to deliver an even better user experience.

When using the phone, the content on the screen will be visible only to the owner. Any form of content, be it a text notification, a video or a photo, can only be viewed from the direct line of sight of the user. Prying eyes of people on the side will not be able see any content, but a black screen.

The company says it took more than five years of engineering, testing and refining to get the final product. Both the hardware and software are expertly calibrated to ensure the content on the screen is visible only to the person directly in front of it.

The flagship S26 Ultra, depending on the market, is expected to offer the device either with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Samsung Exynos 2600 silicon, built on a 2nm fabrication process. It promises significant gains in performance and power efficiency.

Also, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature an enhanced display panel with a higher refresh rate (either 144Hz or 165Hz).

And, it is said to come with faster 60W charging capability.

The Galaxy S26 Plus and S26 are expected to be offered with Samsung Exynos 2600 silicon, and the rest of the features, such as display, battery capacity and camera hardware, will be incremental upgrades.
