Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Specs Leaks (Expected)
The latest leaks and rumors hints at a powerhouse device that will be build on the Ultra family’s strong legacy. As mentioned earlier, the South Korean smartphone makers will focus on refining the key features and specs on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The company may excuse any major upgrade or design change.
Slim bezels and sleeker back design
For over past 3 years, the Galaxy S Ultra models have had the old Galaxy Note 20 design. However, this year, with the launch of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the company finally tried to change the design. The current generation Ultra model comes with flat sides, rounded corners. The redesign is very fresh. Henceforth, we believe that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra design may remain nearly unchanged.

New Camera Layout and S Pen Arrangements
On the back, Samsung is moving away from the noticeable camera rings to a more seamless and clean design. Reliable tipster Ice Universe claims that Samsung is planning to ditch the signature floating lens arrangement. Instead, all rear cameras will sit in a single camera island, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s layout.
The most recent rumor on the topic suggests that Samsung is working on a new way for the S Pen to work. The S Pen will not be removed, it stays. Samsung would put some new tech in the S Pen itself. The smartphone makers may make it a fully active stylus with a battery again. Although, these are just rumors, so take them with a pinch of salt.
Powerful 200 MP camera setup
Leaks and rumors about the camera specs of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra are the main highlight. The Samsung Ultra phone will feature a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main sensor. This means that the main camera may get a major upgrade. There will be a larger 1/1.1-inch Sony sensor. By comparison, the one in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is 1/1.3-inch. A bigger camera sensor collects more light faster and also provides for a more pleasing, and natural bokeh.
The primary sensor will be supported by a 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom. Samsung is also improving the 3x telephoto camera, upgrading it to 12MP. A new laser autofocus system and ProVisual Engine will boost photo clarity, especially in low light. Also Read: Samsung Galaxy S25 FE listing hints at colors, price, specifications

Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip for all markets
Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. This chip is built on TSMC’s 3nm process, promising a noticeable performance boost over its predecessor. It means there will be no Exynos variant this time. The chipset manufacturers claims that this processor may come with a special “For Galaxy” performance boost.
The Ultra model could also include a 20% larger vapour chamber for improved heat management. Rumors suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 may reach up to 5 GHz clock speeds. It may include the familiar setup from before — 2 power cores, 6 efficiency cores. The leaks and rumors about the other hardware specs for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will be updated soon.
Faster Adreno 840 GPU
The Galaxy Ultra variant will also have a new Adreno 840 GPU with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor. As per reports, this GPU is reportedly 30% faster than the Adreno 830 in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Samsung-Qualcomm partnership has been working out pretty well so far. Also Read: iPhone 17 Series Tipped To Get Price Hike, Except THIS Model

Galaxy S26 Ultra Price (Expected)
The Samsung Galaxy S Ultra series has always been quite pricey, even at the starting level. The pricing for the upcoming Galaxy Ultra series is likely to remain same as the current lineup. We don’t think that Samsung will be looking to increase that price further. However, there is no official news about new features or components that might drive that price up just yet.
When will Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra launch
The Galaxy S26 series isn’t expected to launch before early 2026, but it’s already clear that Samsung is rethinking both its naming and performance approach. No vanilla S26, no Plus model—just a tighter lineup that could start at “Pro” and raise the bar right from the base.
