Samsung Galaxy S26: High-end smartphones with a focus on performance and security
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to consist of three models: Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra. All devices will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon chip (for US models), ensuring outstanding performance and energy efficiency. The Galaxy S26 Ultra in particular is expected to have a privacy display that effectively masks content from unauthorized viewers – ideal for use on the move in public areas.
In addition, the devices will support faster wireless charging, enabling longer use without interruption. The design will continue to rely on the familiar premium look of the Galaxy S series, complemented by Samsung AI, which is intended to make operation more intuitive and personalized.
