Samsung reportedly plans to maintain the smallest screen size in the upcoming Galaxy S26 'Pro' model, bucking the trend of decreasing smartphone screen sizes.
The tech world is abuzz with rumours about Samsung's upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S26 Pro. Samsung plans to release this device next year, marking a new chapter in its mainline flagship series [1].
The Galaxy S26 Pro is expected to sport a 6.27-inch display, a modest upgrade from its predecessor's 6.2-inch screen [3][5]. Under the hood, it is rumoured to house a 4,300mAh battery, which is slightly larger than the Galaxy S25's 4,000mAh battery [3].
In terms of photography, the Galaxy S26 Pro is tipped to feature a triple-camera setup, comprising a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a telephoto lens. A new sensor for the main camera is also anticipated [1][3].
When it comes to processing power, the Galaxy S26 Pro may be equipped with either a 2nm Exynos 2600 or a 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, offering up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage [3]. Additional features could include an extra NFC antenna for improved mobile payments and Qi2 wireless charging with integrated magnets [3][4].
Interestingly, Samsung seems to be rebranding its typical base model for the S26 series as the Galaxy S26 Pro. This move could potentially replace the traditional vanilla S model and phase out the Plus variant, which is instead being replaced by the S26 Edge [2][4][5]. The "Pro" label suggests a higher tier than the previous base models, emphasizing improved core specs and a more compact form factor [2].
However, the origin of the "Pro" moniker for the Galaxy S26 Pro remains unclear at this point. It is also possible that the Galaxy S26 Pro may either have new upgrades not yet seen in leaks or it could be a simple rebranding [2].
Here's a summary of the known specifications and features of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro:
| Specification/Feature | Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro | |---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------| | Display Size | 6.27 inches | | Battery | 4,300mAh | | Main Camera | Triple setup: 50MP main sensor + 12MP ultrawide + telephoto | | Processor Options | 2nm Exynos 2600 or 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 | | RAM and Storage | Up to 12GB RAM, 512GB storage | | Other Features | Extra NFC antenna, Qi2 wireless charging with magnets | | Naming Strategy | Replaces base Galaxy S model; "Pro" signifies a premium compact flagship focus |
