Samsung Galaxy S26: Everything You Need to Know

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch on 25 February, with prices starting at around £799/$799. The new flagship series will feature upgrades such as Qi2 magnetic charging and a new privacy display.

The Galaxy S26 series will likely include three models: the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. The S26 Ultra will have a larger battery and faster charging, while the S26 and S26+ will have similar specs to their predecessors.

The design of the S26 series has been leaked, showing a similar design to the Galaxy S25 series. The S26 Ultra will have a camera plateau, a feature that used to be common on Samsung phones but has been absent in recent models.

The S26 series will run on Android 16 with Samsung’s One UI 8.5, which will include new features such as increased choice of virtual assistants and improved satellite connectivity.

The Galaxy S26 series will be available in several colours, including black, white, silver shadow, sky blue, cobalt violet, and pink gold. The S26 Ultra will have a new, high-strength version of Gorilla Glass, which will eliminate the need for tempered glass screen protectors.
