Display sizes are expected to remain familiar. The regular Galaxy S26 is said to get a 6.3-inch AMOLED display. The S26 Plus could feature a 6.7-inch panel. Reports also suggest Samsung may shift to its newer M14 AMOLED panels across the lineup.

There are also reports that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could come with a privacy display feature. This is said to limit screen visibility from side angles. Samsung has teased such a feature but has not explained how it will work yet.

Cameras

As for cameras, major hardware changes do not seem likely. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to continue with a 200MP primary camera. The ultrawide and telephoto lenses are also likely to remain similar to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus are also likely to continue with a 50MP main camera, supported by ultrawide and telephoto sensors. Instead of new hardware, Samsung is said to focus more on image processing improvements. Reports mention better colour handling and improved low-light results, though official details are still awaited.

Performance and battery

Samsung is again expected to follow a split chipset strategy. Depending on the region, the Galaxy S26 series may run either on the Exynos 2600 or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It is not yet clear which chipset will come to India.

Battery sizes are tipped to remain largely unchanged. The Galaxy S26 Ultra may keep the 5,000mAh battery but could see faster wired charging. The base Galaxy S26 is rumoured to get a slightly larger battery compared to its predecessor.
