Leaked dummy models of the Galaxy S26 suggest a potential resemblance to Apple's design for the Edge variant.
The tech world is buzzing with anticipation as rumours suggest the launch of Samsung's latest flagship series, the Galaxy S26, in February 2026. Here's what we know so far about this highly-anticipated lineup.
According to authoritative sources such as YouTube videos and tech news articles, the Galaxy S26 series is expected to make its official debut in February 2026. The lineup is rumoured to be trimmed to three models: the S26 Pro, Edge, and Ultra.
The Galaxy S26 Edge is expected to be a high-performance phone, potentially using the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. It's also rumoured to have a larger 4,200mAh battery compared to the current model, providing longer battery life for users.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Galaxy S26 Edge is its redesigned camera bar. Similar to the one theorized for Apple's iPhone 17 series, the camera bar on the S26 Edge is said to be a raised, horizontal slab with two camera lenses.
In contrast, the design of the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Ultra is rumoured to continue the design cues from the Galaxy S25 series. No specific design changes have been reported for the S26 Pro, unlike the S26 Edge which has leaked with a redesigned camera bar.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra's design and specifications remain a mystery at this point.
Rumours also suggest that the Galaxy S26 Edge might have performed well in a performance test with Qualcomm's next flagship SoC, scoring 3,393 in the single-core test and 11,515 in the multi-core test.
Leaked dummy units of the Galaxy S26 series have reportedly surfaced on social media, giving us a sneak peek at the devices' design. All three leaked prototypes have a small indentation, leading to speculation about more proper Qi2 support. However, no new information about Samsung's plans for a better Qi2 experience with the new flagship series has been provided.
It's worth noting that all the information about the Galaxy S26 series, including the performance test results, originated from the source 9to5Google.
Lastly, it's important to remember that these are just rumours and speculations at this point. The official details about the Galaxy S26 series are yet to be announced by Samsung. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the expected launch date in February 2026.
