Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G: What to expect from Samsung’s next flagship

The S26 Ultra will compete directly with other flagship devices like the iPhone 17 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro.

Expected Samsung S126 Ultra Specs 

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to come with a new design that will be more in line with the other S26 models. Samsung may ditch the sharp and boxy design that was seen in the previous Ultra models.

The S26 Ultra is expected to arrive with an enhanced M14 OLED display that will provide better brightness and power efficiency. The slightly thicker design may also offer space for an enhanced camera system and battery life. 

Under the hood, the device is expected to arrive with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Although some variants of the S26 may arrive with Samsung’s Exynos 2600 processor, the Ultra variant is expected to stick with the Snapdragon processor owing to its enhanced performance capabilities.

There are also rumours of an overclocked version of the processor for Galaxy series smartphones, which could give Samsung a slight advantage over others in terms of performance capabilities.

The Samsung Galaxy AI lineup is expected to feature prominently in the S26 Ultra. The firm is said to be developing more sophisticated and in-house AI solutions that will be centred around productivity and real-time assistance.

One of the most eagerly anticipated features is the presence of a privacy screen filter that will allow the viewer to see the contents of the screen only when they are directly in front of it. Alongside Samsung Knox security and more in-house AI processing, it seems that privacy is going to be a big concern for the firm this year.
