Samsung Galaxy S26 series leak hints at an Edge future (again)
Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly gain a 200MP main camera and a 50MP tele camera. Samsung's middle Galaxy S26 model apparently has a 50MP ultrawide camera, much like the Galaxy S25 Edge. This ultrawide camera potentially hints at the Galaxy S26 Plus being swapped out for an S26 Edge. We already know that Samsung is hard at work on the Galaxy S26 series, and we've seen a few leaks already. Now, a trusted outlet has revealed some more details about Samsung's 2026 flagship Android phones. WinFuture reports that three Galaxy S26 phones are in development and are codenamed NPA1, NPA2, and NPA3, citing an unnamed database. The NPA abbreviation could stand for 'Next Paradigm.' After all, the Galaxy S25 phones were internally referred to as Paradigm and codenamed PA1, PA2, and PA3. The outlet says it also spotted a few technical details about the NPA3 model, which is expected to be the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The database points to a 200MP main camera, but there's no word if this is an upgraded sensor in line with a recent leak. A 50MP telephoto camera was also mentioned, while partners are apparently building the first parts for 5x optical zoom. This presumably means a 50MP 5x camera is making a return. Otherwise, an unspecified ultrawide camera was also mentioned in the database. There's no word on a 3x camera, though. There are no technical details for the NPA1 model, which is expected to be the base Galaxy S26. However, WinFuture says the NPA2 model is listed with a 50MP ultrawide camera instead of the Galaxy S25 Plus's 12MP ultrawide lens. This change would be in line with the Galaxy S25 Edge, which offers a 50MP ultrawide camera. That doesn't necessarily guarantee the S26 Plus will be replaced by the S26 Edge per previous reports, but it does raise more questions about the fate of a Plus model. Samsung's new phones are still half a year away from their expected January release window. Don't be surprised if we see plenty more leaks and rumors between now and then. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Galaxy S26 Ultra display leak hints at another major upgrade
The more time passes and the more we hear about the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the more exciting things seem to be getting. Recently, we heard about a potential major camera upgrade. Now, another rumor claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra 's display may also receive a significant upgrade. Apparently, there may be new technology for the Galaxy S26 Ultra display which should improve clarity and enhance battery life. The screen is said to become brighter and more power-efficient. Samsung's smartphone displays are already top-notch. We have great image quality offered by the panels of the company's smartphones. And now, the company is rumored to be taking things up a level for the next Galaxy S Ultra model. Reportedly, the Galaxy S26 Ultra may integrate CoE OLED tech which promises enhancements to display clarity and could even be more power-efficient thus improving battery life. Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy S25 Ultra | Image Credit - PhoneArena CoE (Color filter on encapsulation) OLED tech focuses on how colors are produced and light is emitted within the display panel itself. Basically, CoE OLED sports a color filter layer directly into the light-emitting layer of the OLED panel. This is different from a traditional OLED panel, where the layer with the color filter and the light-emitting layer are typically separate. When these two are brought closer together, you gain certain advantages. For one, this usually improves light extraction efficiency. So, the screen can be made brighter and more vibrant but by using less energy (light doesn't travel though as many separate layers, so less of it is lost in the way). This could mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra may achieve higher brightness levels, keeping content bright and vivid even in direct sunlight, without causing a dramatic drop in battery life. And this should be awesome news for all Samsung fans. CoE tech can also enhance color accuracy. When the color filters are placed in a more optimized position relative to the light source, this makes for pure and more precise color reproduction. That would ensure a wider color gamut (more colors are being reproduced) - a more true-to-life visual experience on the display. Meanwhile, reputable tipster IceUniverse also says that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could incorporate "depolarizer" technology. There's not much known at this moment about this, though. Generally, "depolarizer" technology in displays is aimed at reducing internal reflections. When you reduce those, you get generally better contrast and clarity, and the display appears sharper. Hopefully these rumors turn out to be true! With the other rumored upgrade to the main camera, the Galaxy S26 Ultra may be one solid contender for the best flagship phone. It will have to rival the yet-unannounced iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is rumored to get an upgrade in battery size and new looks. It would be an interesting fight to witness, that's for sure.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera tipped: Check out the expected launch date, specifications, price, and more
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera upgrade is making waves, as fresh leaks suggest a shift to a larger 200 MP Sony sensor, marking a strategic departure from Samsung's in‑house ISOCELL chips . This 1/1.1‑inch sensor promises dramatically improved low‑light capture and image clarity, outshining the already impressive 200 MP camera on the S25 Ultra. Outdated limitations in zoom and autonomy could fade as Samsung pairs this powerhouse lens with enhancements like upgraded laser autofocus, a smarter ProVisual Engine, and tighter optical systems. Slated for release in January 2026, this camera-first flagship could redefine smartphone photography standards. Stick around—we'll unpack why this upgrade could make every shot feel professional. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra expected launch date January 2026 is the anticipated launch date for the Galaxy S26 series. But as of this moment, nothing is confirmed Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera details leaked On the flagship phone, Samsung is anticipated to include a new, larger 200-megapixel primary camera sensor. It is expected that the Galaxy S25 Ultra successor will come with 16GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 CPU. On Weibo, Chinese tipster Fixed Focus Digital stated that a 1/1.1-inch, 200-megapixel Sony CMOS sensor will be included in Samsung's next Galaxy S26 Ultra. This sensor is anticipated to be used by Samsung's primary camera. A significant improvement above the 1/1.3-inch sensor featured in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and earlier generations would be this rumoured 1/1.1-inch 200-megapixel sensor. When compared to the existing 200-megapixel cameras, the rumoured camera sensor might improve image quality. Additionally, it would signal a change in Samsung's approach to imaging. For the Galaxy Ultra devices, the South Korean company has so far utilized its proprietary 200-megapixel sensors. There are plans to enhance the Galaxy S26 Ultra's camera. A recent rumour indicated that a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor would be included with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The phone might have a 50-megapixel periscope sensor with a 5x optical zoom, a 12-megapixel 3x telephoto sensor, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The next-generation ProVisual Engine is anticipated to be included. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra other expected specifications Design and Display The enormous 6.9-inch display size of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely retained. However, Samsung has decreased the bezel amount, increasing the screen-to-body ratio and providing a more engaging visual experience. Following disappointing results without the digitiser, Samsung decided to retain both functions, even though initial studies contemplated deleting the S Pen and its digitiser. Modifications to the design are subtle. Samsung has improved the back panel for a more streamlined appearance, but the general design will be the same as the previous model. A more integrated camera module that eliminates visual clutter will replace the phone's protruding "chip-like" camera rings. Cooling and Performance Samsung intends to incorporate Qualcomm's most recent Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset into the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung has chosen not to release a separate Exynos model, hence the same processor will power all global variants. The TSMC-made 3nm Snapdragon chip will now serve as the primary CPU after a previously planned 2nm Samsung chip was abandoned. The gadget probably has an overclocked "For Galaxy" version of this processor for improved performance. To control heat, Samsung is anticipated to enhance the cooling system with a larger vapour chamber—roughly 1.2 times the size of the one seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This enhancement could increase battery efficiency and attempts to ensure consistent performance even under demanding conditions. Storage and Memory Three storage capacities—256GB, 512GB, and 1TB—will probably be available for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even on the lowest model, each variant will come with 16GB of RAM to allow users to multitask without sacrificing performance. These leaks give a clear idea of what to expect, even though the official debut is still a few months away. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra expected price The price has not been revealed yet.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to get a big camera upgrade
Samsung is said to be working on a big camera upgrade for its next flagship phone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. As per a new rumour coming from China, the phone could switch to a Sony-made 200-megapixel main camera sensor, which is larger than what the company currently Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with Samsung's own 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor, but the upcoming Sony sensor is said to be slightly bigger in size. A larger sensor can allow more light in, which usually means better photos, especially in low light. This would be Sony's first 200MP camera sensor, and Samsung may be planning to use it for the first time in the S26 Ultra. However, the same report also mentions that Samsung could delay this camera upgrade to the Galaxy S27 Ultra, which may arrive in 2027. So it's not fully confirmed whether the S26 Ultra will get it or leak also shares other expected details about the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The phone will likely retain the same 6.9-inch display size, but with even thinner bezels this time, which could give users more screen in the same body size. The design may mostly stay the same, but there will be one noticeable change—Samsung might remove the large, raised camera rings from the back panel. These rings were part of the S25 Ultra's design, and not everyone was a fan of how they looked. The new design could be cleaner and more refined. The phone will still come with an IP68 rating, so it should remain water and dust resistant. As for the S Pen, Samsung had reportedly tested the phone without a digitiser (the layer that helps with stylus input), but the results were not good. So, the company is expected to stick with the digitiser, which means the writing and drawing experience with the S Pen should remain the performance side, the S26 Ultra is likely to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Elite chip, which is expected to be built on TSMC's 3nm process. There were talks of Samsung using its own 2nm chip, but that plan has reportedly been dropped. Samsung may again get a special 'For Galaxy' version of the chip, which usually comes with some extra manage heat, the phone could include a larger vapor chamber cooling system—possibly up to 1.2 times bigger than what the S25 Ultra had. This would help the phone stay cooler during gaming or heavy use and could also help improve battery is also said to be offering more RAM this time. All variants—whether it's 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB—are expected to ship with 16GB of RAM, which would make multitasking and overall performance smoother. If Samsung sticks to its usual schedule, the Galaxy S26 Ultra should launch in January next year. As none of this is official yet, people are advised to take the details with a pinch of salt.- Ends

Galaxy S26 Ultra: This is Samsung's new OLED display tech to beat iPhone 17 Pro Max
Samsung is preparing to introduce new technology that could change the display experience on its upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. As the company wraps up its current flagship releases, early reports reveal that the next-generation model may feature a significant upgrade to its screen, which will focus on improving colour accuracy, brightness, and power efficiency. Samsung could upgrade the Galaxy S26 Ultra display with new CoE OLED tech for better performance.(HT) What Is CoE OLED Technology? The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to adopt a new type of OLED display known as CoE OLED, which stands for Colour-on-Emitter OLED. This technology will change the traditional display design by integrating the colour filter directly onto the light-emitting layer of the screen, according to the Android Headlines report. Typically, in standard OLED panels, the colour filters and light-emitting layers are separate, which can cause some loss of light and reduce overall display performance. Also read: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 FE, and Watch 8: Here's everything announced at Galaxy Unpacked July event By combining these layers, CoE OLED improves how light passes through the display. This results in higher light extraction efficiency, meaning the screen can produce brighter images without using more power. For users, this could translate into a screen that remains clear and visible even under bright sunlight while helping to extend the phone's battery life. CoE OLED Display May Redefine Screen Design The new technology also promises to expand the colour range that the screen can display. With colour filters positioned closer to the light source, the screen can deliver more accurate and vivid colours. This means the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could offer a more realistic and immersive viewing experience across different types of content.

This element works by reducing internal reflections within the screen, which can improve contrast and sharpness, further enhancing image clarity. Also read: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: Almost the perfect Android flagship If Samsung successfully integrates CoE OLED and depolarizer technology into the Galaxy S26 Ultra, users can expect a display that offers brighter visuals, richer colours, and better battery efficiency. With the Galaxy S26 Ultra still months away, more details are expected to emerge in the coming weeks. For now, the focus remains on whether Samsung will include CoE OLED and other advanced screen technologies in its next flagship release.
