Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Is Likely to Pack only 5000 mAh Battery- Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is anticipated to bring subtle design changes, powerful performance upgrades, with a continued focus on camera capabilities and AI integration. Earlier, it was expected to feature more than a 5000 mAh battery pack, but recent leaks suggest that it will only get a 5000 mAh lithium-ion battery pack, and it will not use a silicon-carbon battery. However, it will definitely get an upgraded 60 W fast charging support. Here are all its features based on the latest reports and tipsters mentioned below, as well as its expected launch date and price.

What Recent Leaks Mention?

Many tipsters and reports indicate that Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra phone is expected to remain at 5000 mAh, but a charging speed upgrade is highly anticipated with support for up to 60 W wired fast charging and 25 W wireless charging, potentially with Qi2 magnetic compatibility. In recent years, we have seen that many brands have used silicon-carbon battery packs for better battery backup, but Samsung is likely to stick with the lithium-ion battery pack.

Expected Price & Launch Timeline

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra phone will be similar to or slightly lower than its predecessor, potentially starting around ₹1,34,999 for the base 256 GB storage variant, and higher storage variants of 512 GB and 1 TB are expected to be priced higher. Along with that, the most recent update is the widespread leak of official-looking renders and a leaked Galaxy Unpacked invite pointing to a launch event on February 25, 2026. Pre-orders will also begin immediately after the event, with an official on-sale date in early March 2026 expected.

Camera Setup

In the rear section of Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra phone, it is expected to retain a quad camera setup with potential sensor upgrades where you will get a 200 MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization + 50 MP ultra-wide lens, plus a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a 50 MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom, whereas in front it is likely to get a 12 MP selfie camera.

Display and Design

A new privacy feature is rumoured which will be capable of limiting the screen view from side angles to prevent onlookers from viewing sensitive content. The phone is expected to feature a large 6.9 inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X flat display with a smooth 120 Hz or 144 Hz refresh rate and up to 2600 nits of peak brightness.

The phone might feature a new unified camera module design and slightly more rounded corners, and it is expected to be marginally thinner at 7.9 mm. It will likely retain the S Pen stylus and come with an IP68 / IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.

Processor Difference

Apart from that, the device is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor built on a 3 nm process in most markets, including the global and Indian market, while some regions might receive a variant with the new Exynos 2600 chipset. It is rumoured to offer up to 16 GB of RAM and storage options of up to 1 TB.
