Essential details about the Galaxy S26 unveiling and the next Samsung foldables leak

A new report from South Korea claims Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup on February 25 in San Francisco, with sales to follow in March. The leak says the base Galaxy S26 will step up to a 4,300 mAh battery, about 300 mAh more than the previous model. The Galaxy S26+ is tipped to add a "3x zoom HDR shooting" mode, while the S26 Ultra may introduce an electronically controlled "privacy display" designed to limit viewing angles and block bystanders from seeing the screen.

Chip choices may split across the range. The report suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 worldwide, while the S26 and S26+ could ship with either that Snapdragon chip or Samsung’s Exynos 2600 in some markets. The same leak also mentions next-generation Samsung foldables, but details there are thinner, pointing mainly to timing around the S26 launch window rather than firm hardware specifications.
