Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Display, Camera, and Other Key Specifications Leaked

 

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is largely expected to launch internationally early next year as the South Korean smartphone manufacturer's next top mobile. A reference to the smartphone was discovered in the code for Samsung's Android 16-based One UI 8.5 version, implying that the handset may include a "Private Display" feature. Now, the handset's essential characteristics have leaked online, and it looks that the phone will feature better thermal management and a "lighter build" than its predecessor. A source recently reported that the phone may enable 60W wired fast charging.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is capable of running Android 16-based One UI 8.5 out of the box. The tech behemoth may also provide seven years of software upgrades. It is rumored to include 16GB of RAM as standard and up to 1TB internal storage.

The phone might include a 200-megapixel primary camera with a "upgraded aperture" on the rear, as well as a 50-megapixel 5x telephoto lens and a 50-megapixel ultrawide-angle sensor.

It might include a 5,000mAh battery with 60W wired and 15W wireless rapid charging compatibility, owing to the Qi 2 standard. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to be 7.9mm thick, with a "lighter build", improved thermals, and a "stronger" frame.

The phone, which is expected to succeed this year's Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, was recently discovered in the incomplete One UI 8.5 code, indicating that it may enable "Private Display" and "Privacy Display." In addition, the device is believed to enable 60W wired fast charging, which is an advance from the Galaxy S25 Ultra's 45W wired fast charging. On the contrary, the smartphone was advertised on China's 3C network with 45W wired fast charging capability.
