Recent rumors and leaks have revealed a clearer picture of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro. The phone is expected to be a new standard model, replacing the S25, with a focus on an updated design and core component upgrades. The S26 Pro will likely closely resemble the S25, at least when it comes to its specs and components.
Name and Design
- The standard Galaxy S26 is rumored to be replaced by the Galaxy S26 Pro.
- Leaked renders show a new pill-shaped camera island on the rear, departing from the floating lens design of its predecessor.
- The phone is expected to have a slightly larger 6.3-inch display.
Core Specs
- Processor: The S26 Pro is anticipated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or the Exynos 2600.
- Battery: It is rumored to have a 4,300mAh battery, a modest increase from the Galaxy S25.
- Charging: Charging speed rumors are conflicted, with some reports claiming a disappointing 25W, while others suggest a faster 45W.
- Wireless Charging: The device may include Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets.
Camera & Software
- Rear Cameras: The camera system is expected to include a new main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide lens (described by some sources as “useless”), and an improved telephoto lens.
- Software: The S26 Pro will run the latest version of One UI, based on Android 16.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 Pro represents a mix of expected and underwhelming upgrades. While the new design and core components are promising, the conflicting rumors regarding charging speed and the modest camera enhancements suggest a phone that may struggle to fully live up to its “Pro” name. The overall sense is that the S26 Pro is a refreshed S26, not a true “Pro” model.
Based on the leaks, does the Galaxy S26 Pro live up to its “Pro” name?
