Galaxy S

Prolific leaker Ice Universe has doubled down on their previous assertion that Samsung is going to change the 3x Telephoto sensor on the Galaxy S26 series. The proposed shift from a 12 MP Sony sensor to a 12 MP ISOCELL sensor will bring all three devies, the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and the S26 Ultra, in alignment.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra will be the only model in the series to use the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, according to a new leak. The base and Plus models will reportedly feature the Exynos 2600, confirming a return to Samsung's dual-chip strategy. Plus, the latest report supports the previously leaked launch timeframe.

A fresh leak confirms Samsung is preparing a significant design shift for the Galaxy S26. The next flagship will feature a noticeably slimmer profile and a return to a vertical camera island, breaking away from recent models.

The Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra could come with an improved facial recognition system instead of the typical IR sensors. It is said to be more secure and work in all kinds of lighting conditions.

Unrealistic rumors and leaks continue to circulate about the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will supposedly have Samsung's best camera yet starting at the end of February 2026. Current information from a reliable leaker indicates what will likely be the biggest upgrade in the Galaxy S26 generation and why a larger 3x telephoto lens is unrealistic.

A Samsung Senior Vice President has given us our first hint at the thermal management of the Exynos 2600. Through the use of a Heat Pass Block, Samsung has apparently reduced the temperature of the Exynos 2600 by quite a large margin.

Reality check: After a somewhat imaginative leaker raised high hopes for major camera changes in the Galaxy S26 Ultra a few days ago, early debug tests reveal what is probably a more realistic "upgrade" that Samsung has planned for the successor to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. At least charging tests indicate noticeable improvements in fast charging. (Update: New camera app features such as 24 MP photos will be standard, like on the iPhone 17.)

One of the first accessories for all three Galaxy S26 models offers a glimpse into the design of Samsung's three flagship phones of 2026, particularly regarding the shape and size of their displays. The Galaxy S26 Ultra's front design closely resembles that of its two siblings.

Industry reports confirm the Samsung Galaxy S26 Unpacked event is set for February 25 in San Francisco. The company plans to use the global AI hub location to showcase the devices as the start of the AI smartphone era.

A fresh leak for the Samsung Galaxy S26 brings an early look at key hardware upgrades coming in 2026. Beyond the expected new processors and improved displays, the devices are said to get some important camera upgrades, with the bigger 3x telephoto sensors being the star of the show.

Was the Galaxy S25 Edge not thin enough? Following the end of plans for the Galaxy S26 Edge, the latest rumors now suggest an even thinner Galaxy S26 flagship being developed under the code name "More Slim". So, there is still some hope for the few fans of ultra-thin smartphones.

Samsung officially commented on the successors to the Galaxy S25 generation for the first time during its recent earnings call and the announcement of its Q3 2025 results. Accordingly, fans can look forward to many new features, including new AI capabilities.

Samsung's next-gen flagship chipset, the Exynos 2600, has surfaced on Geekbench yet again. The SOC is expected to be present in the Galaxy S26 lineup next year, and appears to deliver CPU performance on par with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

A questionable source previously claimed the next Galaxy Unpacked event would take place in March rather than January 2026. Meanwhile, a growing number of reports suggest a significantly delayed launch for the Galaxy S26 – and well-founded reasons have emerged for this.

A new leak has hinted at a confirmed delay for the Galaxy S26 series. Since Samsung has not shared a timeline for the announcement and the leak does not share a new window either, take this with a grain of salt.

It has been reported that Samsung is planning on going back to its original naming convention for the Galaxy S26 series. The information comes from a known leaker but does not cite any sources.

Expectations were high for Samsung's Exynos 2600 chip, but new benchmark data suggests possible pitfalls. Recent Geekbench scores reveal a surprising performance drop, positioning the next-gen processor even below its current rivals. A notable tweak to the CPU frequencies opens the door to potential thermal or efficiency issues.

A new rumour predicts the Exynos 2600 will come with a potent GPU and NPU. Apparently, the latter will be up to six times faster than Apple's A16 Pro. Plus, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will use an Exynos 2600 in at least one region.

The Galaxy S25 FE is the cheapest Galaxy S model to date and proves to be a solid device in our review. However, its price is currently a bit of a hindrance. However, those willing to wait could snap up a real bargain.

Almost every year, there are rumors of delays leading up to the first Galaxy Unpacked event of the new year, but this year, the launch date for the Galaxy S26 series is said to have been pushed back significantly. If current rumors prove true, the new Samsung flagships may not launch until March, although there are good reasons to doubt these rumors.

A new leak has now revealed key details of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Pro. Things look grim on the camera end, however, as it appears the phone could sport sensors four generations old at least.

A new report suggests that Samsung is making major changes to its Galaxy lineup ahead of the S26 launch. Internal discussions reportedly point to a quiet restructuring of the company’s premium smartphone portfolio.

Optically, there is hardly any difference between the two new Galaxy S models, but there is all the more difference in terms of features and performance. The Galaxy S25 FE cuts corners in favor of a lower price and so could be the more interesting smartphone for buyers.

Samsung fans in Europe will once again have the opportunity to try out an Exynos chipset with the Galaxy S26 family, expected in January 2026 and likely consisting of at least the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge and Galaxy S26 Ultra. The rumors surrounding the Exynos 2600 in a Galaxy S26 model have now been confirmed in a media report.

Samsung hasn't officially shared anything about its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagships yet. However, a photo showing the dummy units of the Galaxy S26 Ultra has emerged, showing an iPhone 17 Pro-like orange colorway.

The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max promises remarkable runtimes thanks to its behemoth 7,500 mAh battery. However, according to battery life testing done by TechDroider, while the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max does offer excellent runtimes, it fails to make an impact when compared against the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Samsung has begun rolling out One UI 8, its Android 16-based update, to the Galaxy S22 series, marking the final major upgrade for the 2022 flagships. The update brings stability improvements, refreshed apps, and the latest security patch, but skips the new Galaxy AI features seen on newer models. With this rollout, the S22 lineup officially reaches the end of its promised OS support cycle.

A new leak has shared more information on the ‘Privacy display’ feature that is expected to be present in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It seems like users will be able to automatically turn it on when certain conditions are met.

The Galaxy S26 Pro is widely rumored to be a direct successor to the Galaxy S25. Reportedly, it will be equipped with a new main camera as well, but this new sensor doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade.

Previous leaks claimed Samsung would finally ditch the Plus model with next year's Galaxy S26 series. A new report from Korea indicates the company has now had a change of heart, however, in no small part due to lackluster sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The puzzle surrounding the Galaxy S26 series is slowly coming together. The latest piece offers more details about Samsung's strategy for its Exynos 2600 chip, which is expected to be exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Pro.

Samsung is rolling out the stable One UI 8 update, based on Android 16, to the entire Galaxy S23 series, including the FE model. This major system overhaul brings a revamped DeX experience, enhanced security, and smarter productivity tools.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max has been put through a drop test against the Galaxy S25 Ultra showing the compromises made from going back to aluminum for the Apple offering. The back glass panel, however, seems to stay strong thanks to the ceramic shield.

Get ready for a major change on your Samsung Galaxy A36. The phone's first big software upgrade, the stable One UI 8 based on Android 16, is now rolling out. This new firmware promises a fresh new look, a more personalized experience, and a host of improvements to your device.

The Galaxy S26 launch is still a few months away, but there have already been quite a few hints at the upgrades and features Samsung is planning for it’s upcoming flagship series. Some of them could make the Galaxy S26 Ultra particularly interesting.

The wait is over for Galaxy S24 users as Samsung has officially begun the stable rollout of One UI 8, bringing a fresh wave of updates and refinements. This new software, based on Android 16, promises a smoother experience with new AI tools and features that enhance usability.

Apple's new iPhone Air is equipped with a laughably small battery in a world where even compact phones sport 5,000 mAh batteries. In spite of that, the iPhone Air manages to offer solid battery life in hands-on tests—better than the Galaxy S25 Edge, and astonishingly close to the iPhone 17.

The Galaxy S25 Edge has been discounted to just $699.99 at Amazon, undercutting the iPhone Air by a wide margin. In addition to the lower price, the Edge also offers stereo speakers, a slightly larger battery, faster USB speeds, and a dual-camera setup with a 200 MP main shooter.

It almost seems to be a done deal. Another media report cites Samsung sources and industry insiders, all of whom are confident that the world's first 2nm chip will be launched in the Galaxy S26 in early 2026. Mass production is set to begin this month.

From the unconventional design of the Galaxy S25 Edge successor, potentially called Galaxy S26 Air or Galaxy S26 Edge, to the more traditional-looking camera of the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra, CAD-based renders and dummies have revealed quite a lot about the Galaxy S26 family expected in around four months. The first accessories now seem to confirm the inconsistency of Samsung's camera designs in 2026.

Things aren't looking good for Samsung fans who were eagerly awaiting the successors to the Galaxy S25 family. More and more dreams are being quashed by initial certifications and recent leaks. Not only are fewer upgrades to be expected in the camera, but the battery and fast charging features are also likely to disappoint.

Prolific Ice Universe has started a petition to force Samsung to change the head of the imaging department of the Galaxy S series phones. The leaker has expressed concern about the direction of the Galaxy S cameras and fears that the flagship Galaxy S26 phones may fall behind the competition next year.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra could have its hands full with the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max next year, as Apple has made some pretty big changes to the cameras. The new 48 MP Fusion Telephoto camera, for instance, reportedly lets in considerably more light than the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

High-resolution render images from a quite reliable leaker provide the best look yet at the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro. The compact flagship is expected to feature a very thin chassis and a redesigned triple camera.

Leaker UniverseIce has leaked the state of the Galaxy S26 Pro's bezels. Calling the situation "little progress", the leaker shows, by way of renders, that the Xiaomi 16 Pro has much thinner bezels than the Galaxy S26 Pro and the Galaxy S26 Edge.

The iPhone 17 Air will indeed debut as a thinner smartphone than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, according to a new leak. The rumored new kind of Apple flagship could also be lighter - although its Android nemesis might actually take up less space in other dimensions. Ironically, the S25 Edge might be more generous in some important ways.

In the past few hours, two leakers have confirmed certain details regarding the camera upgrades of the Galaxy S26 series. In particular, the quad-camera system of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to benefit from several changes that should make it more light sensitive. The Galaxy S26 Edge, also known as the Galaxy S26 Air, is also said to receive a better camera.

The exact dimensions of the Galaxy S26 Ultra have leaked online thanks to prolific leaker UniverseIce. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is larger than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while packing much rounder corners. The leak confirms previously leaked information regarding the rounder, iPhone-like appearance of the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
