Through a leak from WinFuture, we may now have the full specifications of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the outlet, the European versions of the base model and Plus will feature an Exynos 2600 processor. Meanwhile, the Ultra is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. All three phones are also expected to run One UI 8.5 of the box.
As for the cameras, the base and Plus models are largely the same with a 50MP main sensor, 10MP telephoto sensor, and 12MP ultrawide sensor. However, it’s pointed out that the maximum aperture on both secondary cameras have been reduced compared to their current-gen counterparts. The opposite is true for the Ultra, in that the aperture has been increased in all cases. You can check out the sheet below to see the full specs.

The leak also mentions that the European version of the Ultra will have two physical nano-SIM card slots. The base model and Plus will have dual SIM support as well, but the second SIM slot only supports an eSIM.
Something else that’s worth pointing out is the battery situation. It appears that we’re largely getting the same size batteries that we got last year. However, the base model sees a slight bump up from 4,000mAh to 4,300. While Samsung won’t be catching up to its competitors from this end, the outlet notes that battery life should still be solid due to optimization.
When the Galaxy S26 series launches, it could be joined by the Galaxy Buds 4 series. We recently got our best look yet at the premium earbuds.
