Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra have to be the most leaked smartphones in history. Apart from the usual leaks, such as renders and benchmarks, a content creator was able to buy the phone, make its unboxing video, and reveal many things about it. Now we have another leak about these phones. It reveals their EU Energy labels, shedding light on their durability, repairability, and battery details.
YTechB has shared the EU Energy labels for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. As you can see in the image below, all three phones have Class A energy efficiency, Class A rating for free fall reliability (how durable they are against drops), Class C rating for repairability (how easy they are to repair), IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and they can maintain 80% of their rated battery capacity till 1,200 charge cycles.
According to the leak, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra can last 51 hours, 55 hours, and 55 hours on a single charge, respectively.
In comparison, the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra have Class B energy efficiency, Class A rating for free fall reliability, Class C rating for repairability, an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and can retain 80% of their rated battery capacity till 2,000 charge cycles. The base variant can last 37 hours 16 minutes, the Plus model can last 43 hours 38 minutes, and the Ultra version can last 44 hours 54 minutes on a single charge.
Going by these labels, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are more efficient than before. However, their batteries won’t be able to retain 80% battery capacity for as many charge cycles as those of their predecessors.
