Samsung is one of the biggest brands in the phone market, and Samsung has been in demand by the public and user for their phones. In the Samsung phone series, there is one phone that can beat the iPhone and is also very much in demand. It’s called the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which was launched in the year 2025 on January 22.
As a result, Samsung continues its lineup of its most demanded phone, the Samsung Galaxy Ultra series. We’ll only see three phones in this category from Samsung’s lineup. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is set to launch in early 2026, and notable details have emerged, including:
👉👉 Models
No base S26 model will be released; instead, Samsung will offer the S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. Let me tell you that this time we won’t see a base S26, which we’ve been seeing in compact Samsung phones like the S25 and S24. This time, it won’t be like that.
The S26 Ultra features a familiar flat 6.9-inch display with no significant changes. Â The biggest thing that’s going to happen is that the phone will be slimmer. Since the S25 Ultra is a very big and bulky phone for me, they may add some improvements to the Ultra from the S20.
✔ CHIPSET
It will be powered by the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, ensuring fast performance. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, which is modified and customized for Galaxy phones, is known to be a high-speed Android chipset.
Ram will see an upgrade to LPDDR5X at a speed of 10.7 Gbps, enhancing performance from the 8.5 Gbps of the S25 Ultra. Additionally, a slimmer design is anticipated, addressing concerns about the bulkiness of the S25 Ultra.
👉👉 Camera
The camera retains a 200-megapixel sensor with minor improvements to the ISP, but overall upgrades are minimal. You’ll get the same 200-megapixel sensor, but with a slight ISP improvement.
👉👉 Battery
The 5,000 mAh battery remains unchanged, with charging reduced to 60 watts and the S Pen potentially removed entirely. Samsung may offer better charging support this time around.
👉👉 Software
Edge will always continue with One UI, ensuring a consistent software experience. With incremental updates each year.
The S25 Ultra is already a very powerful flagship phone, so what further upgrades are there? This time, it won’t be like that. Instead, there will be the S26 Pro, along with the S26 Edge and the S26 Ultra. It will be interesting to see how Samsung evolves the flagship experience.
