Highlights

• The Galaxy S26 is expected to feature a 6.3″ M14 AMOLED display, IP68 rating, and a sleek 6.9mm profile.
• It will likely be powered by the Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (region-dependent) with a 4,300mAh battery and native Qi2 magnetic charging support.
• Leaks suggest a triple-camera setup with upgraded 50MP sensors and a March 2026 launch for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is still several months away from launch. But detailed leaks have already begun to paint a clear picture of what the next Samsung flagship lineup could offer. Latest leaks have shared all, from design changes to performance upgrades. Here’s what we know based on recent leaks.

Samsung Galaxy S26 – Key Specifications (Expected)

Well-known tipster Debayan Roy @Gadgetsdata on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a list of specs of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26. According to the post, the phone is expected to sport a 6.3-inch M14 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device could be the Exynos 2600 chipset, accompanied by a 4,300mAh battery supporting 25W fast charging.

The device may also carry an IP68 dust and water resistance rating and feature an ultra-slim profile at just 6.9mm thick, down from the 7.2mm thickness of the Galaxy S25.

Meanwhile, another popular tipster PhoneArt @UniverseIce on X too recently shared an image of what seems to be a factory schematic of the base Galaxy S26. The leak confirms that the phone’s 6.9mm thickness makes it 0.3mm slimmer than its predecessor, potentially making it one of the thinnest flagship phones Samsung has ever made when it launches in early 2026.

The camera design is also getting a noticeable change. The rear camera setup reportedly shifts to a vertical pill-shaped module, similar to the one seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. However, the most interesting addition is a magnetic ring surrounding the wireless charging coil.

Unlike software-based labels, this is native Qi2 hardware, allowing the Galaxy S26 to magnetically attach to chargers, wallets, stands, and car mounts, similar to Apple’s MagSafe system. This not only improves coil alignment but also enhances accessory compatibility and mounting stability.

The Galaxy S26 is tipped to feature a triple-camera setup on the rear, consisting of a 50MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 12MP telephoto lens. In comparison, the Galaxy S25 offered a 10MP telephoto and 12MP ultrawide camera, suggesting that the upcoming model will bring a noticeable leap in imaging performance.

Moreover, the Galaxy S26 and S26+ are expected to launch with Samsung’s 2nm Exynos 2600 SoC in most global markets, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 could power variants sold in the US and China.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Launch Timeline

Traditionally, Samsung launches its Galaxy S-series flagships in January or February each year. However, according to leaks, the Galaxy S26 lineup might debut in March 2026. Reports further suggest the lineup will include the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

In any case, these details are based on early leaks and should be taken with a pinch of salt until Samsung makes an official announcement.
