Just a few weeks before its official reveal on February 25, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup has already made an early appearance online. A major leak spotted at a Finnish retailer lays out the full range in detail, confirming the models, storage options, color choices and even official product codes.
In short, Samsung seems to be playing it safe this year. The lineup sticks to the familiar trio with the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Despite earlier rumors, there is no trace of a Galaxy S26 Edge or S26 Pro in these listings, suggesting those variants may not be happening after all.
Models and colors
The leak gives us a solid look at the finishes Samsung is preparing.
- The Galaxy S26 Ultra is listed in Black, White, Cobalt Blue, and Sky Blue. There are also black Enterprise Edition versions aimed at business customers.
- The Galaxy S26+ will be available in Black, White, Cobalt Violet, and Sky Blue.
- The standard Galaxy S26 shares the same color options as the S26+, and it too gets a black Enterprise Edition variant.
Each model is expected to come in multiple storage configurations, with the Ultra topping out at a massive 1 TB.
What we can expect from the Galaxy S26 series
Nothing is official yet, but the rumor mill is already painting a pretty clear picture of what Samsung is working on.
On the battery side, the regular Galaxy S26 could see a bump to a 4,300 mAh battery. There is also growing talk about Qi2 wireless charging finally arriving, complete with magnetic support.
For performance, Samsung looks set to return to its hybrid chip strategy. Depending on the market, the S26 and S26+ may ship with either the Exynos 2600 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The S26 Ultra, as usual, would likely stick with Snapdragon everywhere.
Camera upgrades are expected to be fairly modest, possibly with a new telephoto lens on the base models. The bigger focus this year appears to be artificial intelligence, with more generative features and a major refresh of the Bixby assistant reportedly in the works.
Taken together, this leak suggests a Galaxy S26 generation that is more about refinement than reinvention. Samsung seems to be doubling down on software, AI and overall polish rather than chasing a dramatic hardware overhaul. In a mature smartphone market, that approach makes a lot of sense.
We will get the full, official picture on February 25, when Samsung finally pulls back the curtain on the Galaxy S26 series.
