Purported Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26+ camera and battery details surface

It is now almost certain (based on rumors) that the Galaxy S25 Edge was the last of its kind model from Samsung, as the company has purportedly decided to abandon the "Edge" model. Reports have also surfaced suggesting that the Galaxy S26 series launch could happen early, instead of in March next year.

Now, some interesting details about the Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26+ have surfaced, courtesy of SmartPrix. The details reveal the camera and battery specs for both models. Based on the latest info, the Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26+ could get new sensors for the primary and telephoto cameras.

Notably, both devices will feature the same camera setup, in which there will be a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 12MP telephoto camera. For selfies, the Galaxy S26 and S26+ could feature 12MP sensors.

According to the report, Samsung has dropped plans for using 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KJN3 ultrawide cameras in both devices after the cancellation of the Galaxy S26 Edge. However, the 10MP ultrawide camera is finally getting an upgrade in the form of the 12MP Sony IMX564 sensor. This will help rectify the low-resolution image issues, which the models previously suffered because of the 10MP camera.

That's not all. The report also spills the beans about the battery capacities on the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+. It was previously rumored that the Galaxy S26 and S26+ could get a battery boost, and based on the latest information, it appears to be true. The base Galaxy S26 could feature a 4,300 mAh battery, while the Galaxy S26+ could come with a 4,900 mAh battery.

Compared to this year's 4,000 mAh on the Galaxy S25, the S26 appears to be getting a boost. On the other hand, the Galaxy S26+ could feature the same battery capacity. Furthermore, both the Galaxy S26 and S26+ are expected to feature a slim design. It seems like Samsung is trying its best to justify the price hike that is rumored for next year's Galaxy S26 series.
