New renders reveal the potential design for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series.
Samsung's flagship series not only have new names, but they also look different.
Renders of Samsung's Galaxy S26 series have been revealed, showcasing modifications to the lineup. The expected models, launching next January or February, include the Galaxy S26 Pro, the Galaxy S26 Edge, and the high-end Galaxy S26 Ultra. A notable design change involves replacing the flush-mounted rear camera lenses with a raised camera module. All three phones will come with One UI 8.0 pre-installed.
The Galaxy S26 Pro, succeeding the standard Galaxy S25, will have a 6.27-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and slimmer bezels. It will run on the 2nm Exynos 2600 processor, manufactured by Samsung Foundry, except in the U.S., Canada, and China. These regions will instead use the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy, made by TSMC. The phone will offer up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The rear camera setup is expected to feature a 50MP main lens, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens arranged vertically. A 4300 mAh battery will support 45W wired charging and Qi2 magnetic charging.
The Galaxy S26 Edge will measure 5.5 mm in thickness, 1.2 mm less than the Galaxy S26 Pro's 6.7 mm. It is rumored to have a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will be powered by the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy, produced by TSMC. The phone will include up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The rear will house a horizontal 200MP primary camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, similar to the iPhone 17 Pro renders. A 4300 mAh battery will power the device, with support for Qi2 magnetic charging.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra has rounded corners, a departure from the sharper design of prior models. This top-tier phone will feature a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with third-generation anti-reflective glass. All Galaxy S26 Ultra models will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy, manufactured by TSMC using a 3nm process.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra will offer up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The rear camera module will include a 200MP primary lens, a 50MP periscope lens, a 12MP telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. The Ultra will again feature a 5000 mAh battery.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be unveiled and released in January.
