Unveiling the Galaxy S26 Ultra
Potential Issue with Galaxy S26 Ulter's Battery Life and Charging Speeds Could Leave Users Disappointed
Prepare yourself for a barrage of information about Samsung's upcoming devices! While the spotlight is currently on the Galaxy Z-series launch, leaks of the next flagship—the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra—are starting to surface. The latest leak delves into the alleged battery capacity and charging speeds of this much-anticipated smartphone.
In a recent post on X, renowned tipster, PandaFlashPro, addressed questions about the specifications of the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. Responding to a user eager to upgrade to the S26 Ultra upon its release and seeking a 5,500mAh battery capacity, PandaFlashPro revealed that, as of now, Samsung has not finalized the battery capacity for the device—if an increase is even on the cards. However, if the battery capacity does see an upgrade, it will arguably still fall short of the 5,500mAh mark.
Interestingly, the current Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts a 5,000mAh battery, providing more than enough juice to power users through an entire day, under typical usage patterns. In a glowing review, Andrew Myrick noted that he never found himself in need of recharging the Galaxy S25 Ultra simply to spare a few extra minutes scrolling through social media[1].
In another twist, despite hints that Samsung might opt for the denser silicon-carbon batteries, PandaFlashPro claimed that the company remains undecided on this matter[5]. Silicon-carbon batteries are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, lasting longer, and charging faster, challenging the traditional Li-Ion batteries used by Samsung currently[3]. Recent whispers suggest that Samsung might explore an alternative material, known as "SUS CAN," which could potentially pave the way for stronger, more resilient batteries.
Now, brace yourself for more revelations! The Galaxy S26 Ultra could sport a 120Hz refresh rate and, regrettably, no under-display camera[2]. Another rumor suggests that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could introduce a slimmer camera bump in comparison to its predecessor, thanks to the use of an "inkjet printing process" that promises thinner camera lenses, ultimately giving the phone a sleeker appearance[4].
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to dissect the latest information on Samsung's product pipeline!

In the anticipated Galaxy S26 Ultra, there's a possibility that Samsung might reconsider the battery capacity, potentially surpassing the current 5,000mAh of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, although specifics are not yet confirmed. Additionally, the upcoming smartphone could potentially adopt new technology, such as "SUS CAN" batteries, aiming for stronger, more resilient power sources.
