We’re not completely sure this leak is accurate. Ice Universe is well-regarded among those who share info, but he’s not infallible. As per his recent post on Weibo (see the screenshot below), it appears that Samsung is set to enhance the fast charging features of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s successor, which starts at $1,099 on Amazon. However, for the Galaxy S26 Ultra in 2026, it looks like they’re sticking with the standard 5,000mAh battery, even though the charging speed is expected to improve. We’re not sure by how much, but a jump to around 65 watts seems likely.
Camera Changes
When it comes to the camera, Samsung is reportedly making only a small upgrade. The primary camera will likely still use a 200MP sensor, along with a 5x telephoto camera that has a 50MP sensor and another 3x telephoto camera. The latter might get bumped up from 10 megapixels to at least 12 megapixels. This info is said to be 90% confirmed, whatever that might mean. Another less notable leaker has pointed out that the 3x telephoto camera upgrade is still not finalized.
Chassis Specifications
An X post from the same leaker gives more detailed information about the thickness of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s body and compares it to the upcoming Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apparently, the design of Samsung’s future flagship will be quite different from Apple’s, especially regarding thickness and weight. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumored to be 0.345 inches thick, while Samsung might be targeting a thickness of under 0.315 inches. Additionally, the phone’s weight is expected to drop considerably. All these details, including those from other leakers, should definitely be taken with a grain of salt, as the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s specs are probably not finalized yet. More trustworthy leaks might surface later this year.
