Samsung’s next lineup of non-foldable flagship smartphones is expected to be the Galaxy S26 series. The brand is said to launch it next month and put it on sale the month after. According to leaks and rumours about it, it will offer three devices, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

If you have been following news about these phones, you may know that leaks and rumours about them that have surfaced so far have shed light on their key hardware and software features. If you haven’t, we have made a short video sharing the five upgrades of the Galaxy S26 that excite us the most.

As you might have seen in the video above, these are the five upgrades of the Galaxy S26 series that we are most excited about:

  1. A new chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which may offer higher performance and consume less power.
  2. Faster wired and wireless charging speed.
  3. Upgraded camera setup, including new lenses and a larger aperture.
  4. New design for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
  5. A new display feature called Privacy Display, which can prevent people beside you from seeing what’s on your phone's screen.

Unfortunately, Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S26 series phones at a higher price than their predecessors, not mainly because of the upgrades they are bringing, but due to rising smartphone component prices, especially memory.
