With the Galaxy S26 lineup closer than ever, Samsung has finally deemed it necessary to end software support for its flagship S21 lineup from 2021. The S21 FE, however, lives on for now.

We've never seen the Galaxy S26 Ultra in such high resolution and from all angles beforoe, especially not in an official video. A 360-degree video of the upcoming Samsung flagship, in its purple color option, reveals all changes compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The Exynos 2600’s Xclipse 960 GPU has been benchmarked on Basemark’s In Vitro test. It shows up alongside the base Galaxy S26 and manages to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5’s Adreno 840 GPU by a narrow margin.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has reportedly stopped by Geekbench, earning single-core and multi-core scores of more than 3,600 and 10,600, respectively. The Galaxy S26 Ultra's Geekbench listing also confirms that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 inside the Galaxy S26 Ultra is likely going to be overclocked.

Most insiders currently expect Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series to maintain the same price level as the predecessors, but the first comprehensive price leak from an EU country points to sharply higher MSRPs across the board. The leaker is usually reliable, but are these leaked prices plausible?

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has shown up in new images in four colors, including "Sky Blue" and "Cobalt Violet". These images likely are not official product photos, but earlier leaks indicate that Samsung will indeed offer the Galaxy S26 Ultra in these colors.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might become cheaper, while the Galaxy S26 is expected to get significantly more expensive. According to a report, an industry insider disputes these leaks based on retailer data and points to a very different pricing strategy for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 flagship phones.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be officially unveiled in February. A leak now shows the flagship’s new S Pen, which apparently won’t be fully color-matched to the phone. Meanwhile, a leaker claims Samsung is putting its focus on the top model rather than the Galaxy S26 or the Galaxy S26 Plus.

It is widely known how the camera of the Galaxy S26 Ultra will change, but now we can see it in large format in a first leaked official promotional poster, in the primary color option purple and without any distracting watermarks.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has surfaced for the first time in allegedly official product images, and in two colors. This latest leak also appears to confirm some of the specifications of the next-generation flagship smartphone, including a 200 MP camera and Wireless Power Share.

An official teaser from Samsung has provided the first confirmation of the specific launch date for Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will also include a small surprise in the form of new wearables.

Semi-official renders of the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra are currently circulating in early images from case manufacturers like UAG. Official cases from Samsung itself are also making the rounds on social media. A prevalent theme is magnets and, consequently, Qi2 charging.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to launch with numerous magnetic accessories. A leak has already revealed Samsung's official Qi2 charger, which can charge smartphones at up to 25 watts, but the description suggests a limitation when used with Galaxy smartphones.

The Galaxy S27 is still a long way off, but the first real clues have just surfaced in a well-known benchmark database and seem to suggest that the first Exynos 2700 tests are already being carried out, albeit with miserable results and strange specs for now.

Several weeks ahead of the Galaxy S26’s launch, new information has emerged about previously unknown features of Samsung’s upcoming flagship phone. In particular, the new AMOLED screen with Privacy Display may not just be more versatile than expected but also deliver improved visual quality thanks to an additional enhancement.

A recent leak showcased a privacy-focused display feature of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Now, Ice Universe, a prominent leaker, has shared how this hardware-level feature will work on the upcoming Samsung flagship.

Samsung is demonstrating one of the most exciting new features of the Galaxy S26 Ultra in advance by showcasing three practical use cases. Samsung also explains how the "privacy display" can be personalized.

Thanks to several sources, we already know which colors to expect in February for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, but now a European retailer has just revealed all configurations and color options for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra. In addition, there are initial indications of the Enterprise Editions and all model numbers in the EU.

One of the most compelling upgrades to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may be the glass protecting its display. According to the latest information from a leaker, the new glass will not only enable Samsung’s new Privacy Display feature but also deliver improvements in other areas.

Owners of compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphones will be able to create a Digital Key for their 2026 Toyota RAV4. With a digital key, they will be able to lock, unlock, and start their vehicles without a physical key.

There probably won't be many new features in the Galaxy S26 series, which makes Samsung's planned upgrades for 2026 all the more important. Both the camera and the display will benefit from improvements, at least on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, as recently confirmed by a leaker, and the top configuration will potentially offer more RAM than previously expected.

A leaker has recently confirmed the latest rumors about an Exynos chip in the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+, which could make for an exciting change in 2026. While the Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely come with 60-watt fast charging, the Galaxy S26 is also set to benefit from faster charging.

The Galaxy S26+, launched in October 2025 as a stopgap solution for the abruptly canceled Galaxy S26 Edge, will enter mass production this month, according to a recent industry report from South Korea. However, the new features are expected to be limited.

Leaked Exynos 2600 benchmarks of an actual Galaxy S26 offer an early look at the performance of the world’s first 2nm chipset. This includes the Xclipse 960 GPU benchmark, which can be compared to the Adreno 840 that is part of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 found inside the OnePlus 15.

Exclusively on the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung fans can finally look forward to a small but very useful enhancement to the Galaxy camera, as reported by a reliable leaker based on his own experiments with an early Galaxy S26 Ultra test model.

Keen observers have known for months now that Samsung will exclusively increase the charging speed to 60 watts for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the first time in years. Whether this will actually translate into shorter charging times in practice has been revealed by a purportedly official test result from Samsung's labs. We also take a look at early Galaxy S26 accessories.

Reports on the Galaxy S27 Ultra's cameras have been conflicting but the latest of them could excite fans of the lineup more than ever before, with the flagship phone said to be in line for massive upgrades to its camera system.

In Indonesia, a very early Samsung teaser for the upcoming Galaxy camera flagship has just been discovered on Instagram, revealing not only the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor in the international model but also the names of the four planned color options. Meanwhile, an eyewitness has confirmed the new and, in his opinion, improved camera design.

Initiating a bank transfer on the subway without being disturbed or sharing private photos without nearby passengers seeing everything sounds like a very practical feature for prospective Galaxy S26 Ultra users. This feature has now been shown in action for the first time in the form of an official animation that was discovered in one of Samsung’s stock apps.

Facing stiff pricing pressure from the iPhone 17 series, Samsung is reportedly moving away from increasing the price of the Galaxy S26 series. Additionally, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 are also said to cost the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, respectively.

There's always a color that manufacturers veer towards in a year, launching several of their products in the same or similar hue. For 2025, Blue seems to have been that color as several brands including Google, OnePlus, Motorola, Samsung, and Xiaomi launched at least one blue phone.

2026 is just around the corner, as is the official debut of Samsung’s new flagship phones. The Galaxy S26 series will likely arrive a bit later compared to the Galaxy S25, but Samsung’s plans are not a secret anymore, for the most part. Nonetheless, new hands-on images and a video of two very detailed Galaxy S26 (Ultra) dummy units are arguably worth a look.

The new year is approaching quickly, which usually means that the launch of the next Samsung flagships is just around the corner. However, an increasing number of reports now point to significant delays regarding the launch and availability of the Galaxy S26 series, which might not become widely available until after the Mobile World Congress.

The Exynos 2600 has been officially unveiled and is set to be the best processor for modern smartphones – at least in theory. Samsung has explicitly addressed many of the criticisms of its predecessor, such as poor efficiency, thermal management, camera image quality, and performance. As the world’s first 2nm chip, it is expected to debut with the Galaxy S26 generation.

X leaker Abhishek Yadav has learned Samsung plans to push out its mid-range Galaxy A series in February. They could be unveiled before the Galaxy S26 trio, which is tipped for a late-February 2026 reveal.

A new report from Digitimes says Samsung might use the Exynos 2600 only in its home turf. The decision is likely driven by low yields and contractual obligations with Qualcomm.

Rather bland render images of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra have now appeared in a beta version of One UI 8.5. Additionally, Samsung is finally expected to catch up with Apple and Google by equipping the Galaxy S26 series with integrated magnets for full Qi2 compatibility.

Another major memory and SSD storage maker has bad news for consumers. The Crucial brand is being sacrificed on the altar of AI profits after three decades in existence.

Samsung has now confirmed its plans to launch the Exynos 2600 soon. The chipset will arrive as a successor to the lackluster Exynos 2500 but could be Samsung's first competitive flagship chipset in years, and is expected to feature on the Galaxy S26 series.

The official wallpapers for the Galaxy S26 Ultra have apparently been spotted in One UI 8.5. These images share the possible color options of the upcoming Samsung flagship phone, and there could be six of them.

Samsung is expected to earn up to $69 billion of operating profit in 2026, riding high on exorbitant AI and graphics memory chip prices. Its own consumer electronics departments, however, are suffering in the process.

Many details about the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Galaxy S26 Plus and compact Galaxy S26 are already known at this point, so it is time to compare them with their predecessors. A leaker is sending a clear message to Samsung fans around the world, because the upgrades will probably not be major in most cases.

Tim Cook as a Samsung fanboy? A viral clip shows the Apple CEO with a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, mocking "BugOS". While a deepfake, the short video is nevertheless generating widespread laughs and amazement at ever-improving AI technology.

Earlier reports claimed Samsung could be preparing the Galaxy S27 Ultra to launch with a new 200 MP sensor from Sony. That sensor has now been released but new information indicates Samsung's future flagship will not be an adopter.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has leaked so much that there is practically not a single aspect of the Galaxy S26 phones that we don't know about. Adding to this ever-increasing pile, Ice Universe has now leaked the Peak Brightness of the Galaxy S26 series, and it might disappoint some fans.

It seems the European versions of the Galaxy 26 and Galaxy S26+ will feature an Exynos chip, like their predecessors. However, this processor could prove more compelling than previous Exynos offerings when it debuts in 2026, especially given that Samsung may beat TSMC to launching the world’s first 2nm chip. Nonetheless, the performance and efficiency figures provided by Samsung appear remarkably humble at first glance.

A new Galaxy S26 leak by Ice Universe has revealed the exact weight and thickness of the Galaxy S26 phones and compared the numbers to the respective iPhone 17 models. It appears that all three Galaxy S26 phones will be lighter and thinner than the iPhone 17 series.

The Galaxy S26 series is expected to arrive in a couple of months. However, despite multiple reports of upgraded specs and features, a leak has revealed the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus will not receive a wired charging boost.

The Galaxy S26 specs are becoming clearer by the day, thanks to almost daily new leaks. After confirming the new 3X Telephoto camera, Ice Universe has now revealed that the Galaxy S26 phones will feature the fastest LPDDR5X memory on the planet.

After six long years, the wireless charging speed of all three Galaxy S26 flagship phones will finally receive a substantial upgrade, according to a report from South Korea. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to benefit even more from the upgrade than the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+.
