Samsung typically finalizes the specifications of its flagship smartphone family months prior to the official announcement, and a tipster has allegedly got a hold of the majority of the internals and external hardware belonging to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. In short, we should be looking at an iterative update that will not feature a battery capacity upgrade, but the smartphone should witness a ton of improvements in other areas. Here are more details on the matter.
All variants of the Galaxy S26 Ultra are rumored to be equipped with 16GB RAM, with up to 1TB storage
First, let us start with the disappointing bits that were shared by @PandaFlashPro on X, which is the lack of a battery increase. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be retained with a 5,000mAh cell, along with a maximum wattage support of 45W. The display size will also remain unchanged at 6.9 inches, with the dimensions resembling the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s. Sadly, the flagship’s S Pen will continue to ship without Bluetooth support, resulting in some features getting removed from the list, such as remotely capturing an image from the smartphone’s camera using the stylus.
Next up, we have the optics, with Samsung using the p-shaped camera placement on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The flagship will feature four sensors and will sport a brand new laser autofocus unit. Thankfully, the company will not reuse the camera rings to avoid any quality control problems. Just like the previous-generation releases, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will flaunt a titanium alloy chassis, with its thickness said to measure 8.1mm, and the titanium mentioned to be between Grade 2 and Grade 3. As for the internals, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 will be a part of the specifications, painting a bleak picture for the Exynos 2600.
To maintain the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2’s performance, the rumor list claims that a vapor chamber with a 120 percent larger size compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be employed. As for memory and storage, all Galaxy S26 Ultra variants are said to ship with 16GB RAM as standard, with onboard memory configurations of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB available in different markets. Keep in mind that this information is subject to change, but for the most part, we believe that the tipster has provided an accurate overview of the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
