We're weeks away from Samsung's first major launch event of the year, and the first official Galaxy S26 renders have now leaked. They show a familiar design with a more prominent camera hump than in previous years. Specs have also reemerged.

The renders below seemingly depict the Galaxy S26+, but since both the Plus and base models look virtually the same except for size differences, this could very well be your S26 preview as well.

Specs include a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display for the base model and a larger 6.7-inch panel for the Plus variant.

The base S26 measures 149.6 x 71.7 x 7.2mm and weighs 137 grams. The Galaxy S26+ measures 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3mm and tips the scale at 190g.

The size difference between the two models also means that the base Galaxy S26 has a 4,300mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy S26+ enjoys a beefier 4,900mAh unit.

Otherwise, both Galaxy S26 phone variants are virtually identical and boast features such as:

  • An Exynos 2600 chip in some markets and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in others.
  • 256GB of storage minimum.
  • A 50MP + 12MP +10MP rear camera combo.
  • A 12MP selfie camera.
  • One UI 8.5 and Android 16.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S26, S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra — the latter of which also leaked moments ago — on February 25 at Unpacked.
