We already know that Samsung is gearing up to change a lot with next year’s Galaxy S26 lineup. Instead of the usual “Plus” model, the company is reportedly bringing back a follow-up to the Galaxy S25 Edge. The standard model will be rebranded as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” But now, we have more key details coming and giving us an idea of what the Galaxy S26 Pro could offer. Thanks to a fresh leak, it sounds familiar in more ways than one.

According to the famous tipster named Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Galaxy S26 Pro may feature a 6.27-inch display alongside a 4,300mAh battery. This is the second time the same battery size has been reported in recent weeks. For comparison, the Galaxy S25 came with a 6.2-inch screen and a 4,000mAh cell.
GalaxyClub previously reported that the Galaxy S26 Pro’s battery would likely be rated at 4,175mAh but marketed as 4,300mAh, marking a 300mAh increase over the Galaxy S25.
Exactly why Samsung is calling this new base model the “Pro” is still unclear. By size, it appears to be a direct successor to the Galaxy S25. Still, the naming could suggest a balance of features, a modest battery upgrade paired with the compact screen size typically seen in the entry-level flagship of the series.
Galaxy S26 Pro – Features (Rumoured)
Earlier reports indicate that the Galaxy S26 Pro, along with other models in the lineup, may include an extra NFC antenna at the top of the device. This would enhance mobile payments and file-sharing, bringing the experience closer to Apple’s iPhones, which are known for smooth AirDrop and tap-to-pay functionality.
On the camera front, the Galaxy S26 Pro is expected to retain a triple-lens setup similar to its predecessor, including a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a telephoto camera. It’s not yet clear if Samsung will improve the telephoto lens this time around.
Powering the device could be either the 2nm Exynos 2600 chip or the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 for Galaxy, depending on the region. Memory and storage options may include 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB storage.
There are also rumours that Samsung might add Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets to the Galaxy S26 series, making accessory compatibility simpler and bringing it closer in line with Apple’s MagSafe approach.
