      For display, the Galaxy S26 Plus could feature a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 3120 x 1440 resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Protection may include Corning Gorilla Armor 2 and IP68 dust- and water-resistance. Color options are expected to include White, Blue, Black, and Purple.

      Performance

      Samsung is likely bringing back its old strategy with the Exynos chip for the rest of the world except China and the USA. So, we have the mighty Exynos 2600 fabricated on a 2nm process and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC for Galaxy as the options.

AI performance is also expected to improve with a more powerful NPU, enabling smarter camera processing, stronger on-device AI capabilities, and more seamless multitasking. Regarding software, the Galaxy S26 Plus is likely to come with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16.

      Cameras

      Likewise, the Galaxy S26 Plus will feature a triple-camera system similar to the previous model. This setup might include a 50MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, Dual-Pixel PDAF, and OIS; a 10MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom and OIS; and a 12MP ultrawide sensor with a 120-degree view and Super Steady Video capabilities.

      Moreover, the Galaxy S26 Plus is rumored to pack a 4,900mAh Li-ion battery. Wired charging supports up to 45W, with wireless charging support. Compared to the standard S26’s 25W charging, the Plus model will likely offer noticeably faster top-ups.

      Will the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus be worth it?

      If you prefer a large display, longer battery life, and flagship performance without stepping into Ultra territory, the S26 Plus could be a balanced, future-ready option.
