Another Galaxy S26 Ultra leak pours cold water on a battery upgrade
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Another leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have a 5,000mAh battery. This comes after a reliable outlet made the same claim earlier this month. That means Samsung's Ultra phone will have the same battery capacity for the seventh time. We've seen many flagship Android phones with huge batteries this year, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra retains a 5,000mAh battery. We previously heard that Samsung won't change things on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and another source has now chimed in on this matter. Prolific leaker Ice Universe has claimed on Twitter that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will retain a 5,000mAh battery. This comes weeks after reliable Dutch outlet GalaxyClub asserted that the phone won't get a battery upgrade. If confirmed, this means Samsung is using a 5,000mAh battery in its Ultra phone for the seventh time. In fact, all previous mainline Galaxy S Ultra phones have offered a 5,000mAh battery. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. We thought the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra both offered great battery life. Furthermore, Samsung beats the competition when it comes to charging cycles. However, this leak also comes as rivals like the OnePlus 13, vivo X200 Pro, and other phones offer 6,000mAh batteries thanks to silicon-carbon tech. So the rest of the industry is certainly steaming ahead. This leak also follows another claim that Samsung could finally move past 45W wired charging with next year's Ultra phone. There's no word on a specific charging speed, but even a switch to 65W wired charging would be a welcome upgrade. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Samsung tri-fold phone name spotted in trademark filing, launch details leaked
Samsung's long-rumoured tri-fold smartphone is once again in the headlines — this time because of a trademark filing that gives us a possible name and a better idea of when the device might actually launch. While the company has been tight-lipped about this foldable so far, recent developments are beginning to fill in the blanks. A trademark spotted in South Korea points to the name Galaxy Z TriFold, but there's reason to believe Samsung may not actually go with that name in the end. At the same time, a trusted source claims the tri-fold will hit shelves later this year — and possibly sooner than name comes via GalaxyClub, who spotted the Galaxy Z TriFold trademark filing in South Korea's database. It's an obvious choice on paper, but not necessarily one Samsung will stick with. The name doesn't quite fit the company's usual sleek branding. It's common practice for Samsung (and other brands) to register multiple potential names ahead of product launches, many of which never get the trademark gives us a possible name, tipster Ice Universe has shared what sounds like a more solid launch window. According to his post, Samsung is planning to release the tri-fold in October 2025, just ahead of the busy year-end shopping season. That also lines up with what Samsung's mobile head TM Roh reportedly told The Korea Times during the company's Unpacked event earlier this month. Roh said that Samsung was actively working on its tri-fold phone and was targeting a release 'later this year,' without offering a specific date. Though nothing's been confirmed publicly yet, previous leaks have hinted that the device could feature a 10-inch display that folds in two places, using Samsung's flexible OLED tech. Internally, it may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with a price tag that could exceed $2,900 (roughly Rs 2.5 lakh). However, early reports suggest Samsung might take a cautious approach with this new form factor — releasing it only in South Korea and China at first, and waiting for a global rollout until a second-gen version is this phone didn't appear at Samsung's recent Unpacked event, the company had plenty to show. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 made their debut with sleeker designs, brighter screens, and AI upgrades. A new Galaxy Flip 7 FE also joined the line-up as a more affordable option for foldable fans. And for those into wearables, Samsung also launched the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, both featuring slimmer builds and on-device Gemini AI features.- Ends

Samsung may have accidentally revealed its tri-fold's name, and it's not very exciting
TL;DR Samsung has filed a trademark for its upcoming triple-screen foldable. The filing reveals the name 'Galaxy Z TriFold,' but we're skeptical of this being final. The foldable is rumored to launch in October, but with availability limited to China and South Korea. Samsung's progress on a new style of foldable with three inner screen faces instead of two is no longer a secret. It has repeatedly teased the new shape and even showcased a working prototype at Mobile World Congress 2025 of what it then called a 'Flex G' panel. The 'G' is inspired by the fact that the two sides fold inward, which also led to initial rumors that the phone would be named a Galaxy G Fold — and probably because a Galaxy C (despite being more fitting to the shape) would be a tongue twister. However, a recent report suggests that Samsung may have settled on a name that neither includes 'G' nor 'C'. Would you buy a tri-folding foldable phone? 3723 votes Yes, for sure 61 % Maybe 22 % No, I wouldn't 18 % For its triple-screen foldable, Samsung may have chosen the name 'Galaxy Z TriFold' — or so it appears, based on a recent trademark filing spotted by GalaxyClub. Besides suggesting the device's potential name, the trademark also indicates it will be clubbed under the existing Galaxy Z lineup instead of being introduced as a separate series. Despite the trademark registration, we cannot ascertain that this is the name Samsung will finally choose when it launches the phone later this year. It could be using this name as a placeholder or to misguide speculations. Although the filing does not guarantee a launch timeline, previous rumors suggest the tri-fold will enter production in September and could launch in October 2025. The foldable's inner display is expected to unfold into a 10-inch layout, while the phone is likely to house a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Images and animations buried in One UI 8's beta firmware confirm the phone comes with three rear cameras, which are expected to be the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Besides its name, there's another unsavory aspect to this phone. The exuberant hardware is likely to come with an eye-watering price tag of nearly $3,000. Already cautious of its steep price, Samsung might limit the initial release to China and South Korea, rather than launching it globally, to gauge demand. Got a tip? Talk to us!
