The Samsung Galaxy S26 will be equipped with a 6.3-inch screen and a body size of 149.4mm x 71.5mm x 6.9mm;
The Samsung Galaxy S26+will be equipped with a 6.7-inch screen and a body size of 158.4mm x 75.8mm x 7.3mm;
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will be equipped with a 6.9-inch screen and a body size of 163.6mm x 78.1mm x 7.9mm.
The front camera opening of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is significantly larger than that of the S25 Ultra, with a diameter of 4 millimeters.
This is the largest opening in the Samsung Ultra series models, although its front camera specifications are exactly the same as the S25 Ultra.
Samsung’s decision to expand rather than shrink the front camera opening really surprised me.
Samsung has always had the smallest front camera opening among Android phones, but now the opening size of the S26 Ultra is no different from that of domestic flagship phones.
From the cross validation of current industry chain sources and related reports, it can be seen that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will still adhere to the traditional release rhythm of Samsung’s flagship, and is likely to be officially unveiled through the Galaxy Unpacked global online launch event at the end of January to early February 2026. As usual in previous years, the global release plan will be launched within 1-2 weeks after the press conference, and core markets such as China, South Korea, and the United States will start pre-sales simultaneously. Some European countries may launch 3-5 days later due to channel stocking. However, industry analysts previously revealed that Samsung had discussed an early release plan in Q3 2025- planning to move the time window forward to mid December 2025, seizing market share during the Christmas New Year holiday consumption peak season. However, due to factors such as the production yield of Exynos 2600 chips not meeting expectations and incomplete image algorithm debugging, this risky adjustment was ultimately abandoned.
