Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Release Date LEAKED – You Won’t Believe What’s Coming!

Pros

1. Design Improvements

   • More curved / rounded corners, which may make the phone feel more comfortable in the hand. 

   • New camera module “island” instead of all-flush eyes; thinner body overall in some reports. 

2. Display Enhancements

   • Rumours of a brighter OLED / AMOLED panel (e.g. “M14” material), possibly with better power efficiency. 

   • Features like built-in privacy display tech (to limit viewing angles) could add extra value. 

3. Camera Quality (Especially Low Light)

   • Same 200 MP main sensor but leaks suggest a wider aperture (e.g. f/1.4) which would help in low-light shots. 

   • The ultra-wide lens may see upgrades in resolution. 

4. Faster Charging

   • Wired charging expected to increase from ~45 W to ~60-65 W in many leaks. That means quicker top-ups. 

5. Battery & Efficiency (Potentially)

   • Some rumours suggest a modest bump or at least better battery life via more efficient display / chip tech.

   • Better internals (chip, AI, etc.) may help with power optimisation. 

6. S-Pen Retained + Design Updates

   • The S-Pen seems to remain part of the package, with leaks indicating a more ergonomic / curvy stylus to match the design. 

7. Long-Term Software & Support

   • Samsung has been increasingly strong with OS/security updates. Users may expect more years of updates. 

Cons / Weaknesses

1. Incremental Upgrades

   • Many leaks suggest that some specs (especially camera hardware like the 200 MP main sensor, the telephoto, etc.) will remain unchanged, so improvements may be modest rather than radical.

   • Some users feel that just a chip upgrade + cosmetic tweaks may not justify the premium. 

2. Telephoto & Zoom Concerns

   • There are suggestions the 3× zoom module might be “downgraded” (smaller pixel size, maybe less capable in low light) compared to ideal expectations. 

   • Also some reports say the long-range zoom may be more “hybrid / software-assisted” rather than fully new hardware. 

3. Battery Not Increasing Much (Maybe Stagnant)

   • Leaks conflict: some say battery will stay around 5,000 mAh (same as prior Ultra), so any battery life gains may rely on efficiency rather than larger capacity. 

   • If battery stays the same but display is brighter/thinner or chip more power-hungry, gains may be small.

4. Charging Still Behind Some Rivals

   • Although 60-65 W is better than prior Samsung watershed, it may still lag behind competitors (especially Chinese Android phones), which offer 80-100 W+ or more.

   • Also potential limits/variation by region. Samsung sometimes caps charging speed in certain markets.

5. Size, Bulk & Handling

   • As with prior “Ultra” models, size is large; the phone may be heavy, bulky, less one-hand friendly. Rounded edges help, but hardware + battery + camera bump may still add weight. 

6. High Price / Cost of Ownership

   • Premium phones cost more — top variants, especially with high RAM/storage, will probably be expensive. 

   • Accessories, repairs (camera bump, curved glass, etc.) may cost more.

7. Regional Variants / Performance Differences

   • Samsung often uses different chipsets across regions (e.g. Snapdragon vs Exynos). If Exynos versions are less performant or less efficient, users in those regions may not get the same experience. 

8. Potential Disappointments

   • Some rumours say that features people may want (e.g. much faster charging, significantly better telephoto zoom, or dramatic battery increases) might not materialize.

   • Design changes like camera bump may reintroduce issues (e.g. wobble, fragility) depending on how big/sharp the bump is.
