Introduction: The king of Android is returning soon. While the Galaxy S25 series dominated 2025, all eyes are now on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. With rumors of a massive design overhaul and the world’s first 2nm chipset, this device is set to break all records. Mobile Sathi has gathered all the leaked specifications, pricing, and the expected India launch timeline to help you decide if you should wait for this beast.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Full Specs, India Price, and 2026 Launch Date Leaked!
1. Design: The End of "Sharp Corners"
For years, Ultra users complained about the sharp corners poking their palms.
The Change: Leaks suggest the S26 Ultra will feature more rounded corners and a unified camera module (pill-shaped) instead of separate rings.
Build: It will stick with Grade 5 Titanium, but it’s rumored to be even thinner and lighter than the S25 Ultra.
2. Display: Brighter than the Sun
Size: 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X.
Brightness: A record-breaking 3,000 to 5,000 nits peak brightness, making it the most visible screen under direct sunlight in 2026.
Privacy: A new "In-built Privacy Feature" might be added to prevent people sitting next to you from peeking at your screen.
3. Performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (or Gen 5)
Samsung will use the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (some leaks call it Gen 5) built on an advanced 3nm process.
RAM: Up to 16GB LPDDR6 RAM.
Software: It will debut with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16, with a promise of 7 years of major updates.
4. Camera: 200MP or 320MP?
While some rumors hint at a 320MP sensor, the most reliable sources say Samsung will refine the 200MP Main Sensor with a new "ISOCELL" technology for better low-light AI processing.
Zoom: An upgraded 12MP 3x Telephoto (replacing the old 10MP) and a 50MP 5x Periscope lens.
Video: 8K recording at 60fps with "Real-time AI Object Eraser."
5. Battery and Charging (Finally an Upgrade!)
Samsung is finally moving past the 45W limit.
Battery: 5,000mAh (Standard) or a rumored 5,500mAh.
Charging: 60W Fast Charging support, which is a big jump for Samsung loyalists.
Expected Price and Launch Date in India
Launch Date: Expected to be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25, 2026.
India Price: Expected to start from ₹1,29,999 for the base variant (256GB).
Mobile Sathi Verdict
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is shaping up to be a "Refinement King." If you are using an S23 Ultra or older, this will be a massive upgrade, especially with the new 60W charging and rounded design. However, if you recently bought an S25 Ultra, the changes might feel incremental. At Mobile Sathi, we believe the new AI features and display brightness will be the real deal-breakers this year.
