Samsung Galaxy S26: Development Still Underway

The Galaxy S26, on the other hand, will reportedly be powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600 processor. The chipset is expected to bring better efficiency and AI processing, as part of Samsung’s broader effort to strengthen its semiconductor division after recent setbacks.

While the design of the base model isn’t finalised yet, insiders suggest a simplified and refined look, in line with Samsung’s minimal design philosophy.

With talks of the Galaxy S26 Edge being dropped, Samsung’s next flagship lineup is expected to include three models – the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
