The Galaxy S26 is expected to feature six major upgrades when it launches in February.
Here's what the rumors are saying so far about the Galaxy S26 Plus.
After speculation that it would be discontinued, the Galaxy S26 Plus is now expected to be released this year. The device will be included in the S26 series, contrary to previous expectations that a Galaxy S26 Edge would replace it.
The standard Galaxy S26 model will reportedly maintain its original name, without the addition of a "Pro" designation.
While the 3x optical zoom will remain the same, the new sensor should improve image quality with enhanced detail and reduced noise. The larger sensor is expected to capture more light.
The Galaxy S26 series is also rumored to include AI improvements, delivering a more personalized experience. Galaxy AI may offer more relevant task and action suggestions.
Given the current industry focus on AI, the new flagship phones may feature exclusive AI capabilities. The Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus will come with One UI 8.5, including a customizable Quick Settings panel, enhanced visuals, battery-saving features, and a new voicemail function.
