What happened? Renowned tipster @UniverseIce has shared the specs of the rumored Galaxy S26 and its comparison with the current-gen Galaxy S25.
Why is this important? It also seems that Samsung is finally ditching 128GB storage variants with the base Galaxy S series device. The storage on the Galaxy S26 could start at 256 GB.
- However, the camera setup, including the 50MP primary sensor, 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and 10MP telephoto sensor, may remain the same.
- The front camera of the Galaxy S26 will also remain the same as that of the Galaxy S25: a 12 MP selfie camera.
- On the bright side, the handset could have a larger 4,300mAh battery, which should last a few hours longer between charges at similar charging speeds.
Why should I care? Despite an increase in battery capacity, the Galaxy S26 is expected to only gain two grams in weight, which is practically negligible.
- In fact, the company could make the handset 0.3mm slimmer (7.2mm versus 6.9mm).
- In addition, the Galaxy S26 could receive several useful updates, such as a more powerful chipset, more memory in the base variant and a larger battery. This should be good news for anyone planning to buy the smartphone at launch.
Okay, what’s next? Unlike the Galaxy S26, the Galaxy S26+ may not get as many upgrades. The tipster’s leaked specs suggest that the S26+ could adopt its entire spec sheet, except for weight, from the Galaxy S25+, except for a new chipset.
