Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature slimmer bezels, a powerful 12MP telephoto lens, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and 16GB RAM for ALL models! Check all the details!
Samsung has already wrapped up its foldable launches for the year, and all eyes are now shifting to its next flagship — the Galaxy S26 series. Expected to debut early next year, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely take the spotlight once again. Although the official announcement is still months away, a new leak shared by PandaFlashPro on X has revealed several key upgrades in display, camera, and hardware.
Here’s a closer look at what the leak has revealed so far.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Slimmer Bezels and Familiar Display Size
Samsung might stick with a 6.9-inch display for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, just like its predecessor. However, the leak suggests that this time we may see even thinner bezels, which would slightly increase the screen-to-body ratio and offer a more immersive viewing experience.
- Display Type: Likely Dynamic AMOLED with LTPO support
- Refresh Rate: Adjustable between 1Hz and 120Hz
- Size: 6.9 inches (same as S25 Ultra)
- Design: Subtle refinements, not a full redesign
While some might expect a completely new look, Samsung seems to be continuing with the design language introduced with the S25 Ultra. Instead of big design changes, it may focus more on refining smaller elements — such as removing the camera rings seen on recent models.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Camera Hardware: Minor Yet Notable Upgrades
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to keep its 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main sensor, but may feature an updated lens for improved clarity. The real change, however, might come in the telephoto camera department.
Here’s a summary of the expected camera setup:
| Camera Type | Expected Specs |
|---|---|
| Main | 200MP ISOCELL HP2 (1/1.3″ sensor) |
| Periscope Telephoto | 50MP, 5x optical zoom |
| Standard Telephoto | Upgraded from 10MP to 12MP, 3x optical zoom |
| Ultrawide | 50MP |
| Front | Possible hardware improvements |
| Extra Features | Laser AF sensor, ProVisual Engine |
Upgrading the 10MP telephoto to a 12MP version may sound small on paper, but if paired with a larger sensor, it can improve detail and low-light performance in zoom shots — a field where Samsung has held an edge over Apple.
Additionally, new autofocus tech and software optimizations under Samsung’s ProVisual Engine could make the overall camera experience smoother and faster.
Snapdragon Power and Bigger RAM on S26 Ultra’s All Models
Under the hood, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is likely to run on Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite for Galaxy, which could be introduced later this year. This chip is expected to be built on TSMC’s 3nm process, which usually brings better power efficiency and thermal performance.
Other key performance features may include:
- Vapour Chamber Cooling: Said to be 1.2x larger than S25 Ultra’s
- RAM: 16GB RAM across all storage variants
- Storage Options: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB
This means even the base model of the S26 Ultra may pack as much RAM as most premium laptops, improving multitasking and gaming performance.
Even though the Galaxy S26 Ultra may not bring a dramatic redesign, it seems Samsung is focusing on meaningful upgrades — especially in the camera and performance departments. With thinner bezels, a sharper telephoto lens, and boosted internals, the S26 Ultra could be a solid step forward for fans of the Ultra series.
As always, real-world performance and software improvements will determine how big the leap really is. But based on this leak, Samsung seems to be focusing on polishing the best it already offers.
