Samsung is widely tipped to introduce the Galaxy S26 series at its 2026 Galaxy Unpacked event, likely around February 25. The S26 lineup is shaping up to be an iterative evolution of the current generation, with a focus on performance improvements, smarter AI features, and subtle design enhancements rather than radical changes. In this article, we’ll focus on the Samsung Galaxy S26, exploring key rumored specifications, and features.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Rumors:
Design and Display
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 will bear some design changes on the back. As seen on various leaks, the camera module is getting a fresh layout for the S-Series, as it's already prevalent on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Meanwhile, the report indicated that it will continue Samsung’s sleek flat-screen design with modest frame refinements.

In terms of display, the Galaxy S26 could sport a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Reports also suggest tough Corning Gorilla Armor glass for protection and an IP68 rating.
Chipset
One of the biggest early rumors is a shift in Samsung’s chipset strategy. The S26 and S26 Plus may use Samsung’s Exynos 2600 in many regions, while select markets (such as the USA and China) may still see the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powering the duo. You can expect 12GB of RAM as a baseline, with 256GB and 512GB storage options likely available. Rumors even hint at new AI-driven software features and performance improvements enabled by on-device processing upgrades.
Cameras
Early leaks indicate that the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus will keep a familiar triple-camera setup like the S25, including a 50MP main sensor, the same 10MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide. A 12MP selfie camera is also expected. Despite similar numbers, Samsung may improve telephoto quality and video codecs for real-world gains rather than focusing on megapixel increases.
