Samsung S26 Ultra: Final Specs Leaked – 2nm Chip & 200MP Camera Confirmed?

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is shaping up as one of 2026’s most anticipated flagships. With Unpacked expected on February 25, 2026, leaks are pouring in fast – and they point to solid upgrades over the S25 Ultra without revolutionary changes.

The 200MP main camera stays, but gets major tweaks for better performance. A possible Exynos 2600 (rumored as the first 2nm mobile chip in some regions) or global Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powers it all. Here’s the breakdown from the latest credible leaks.

Camera: 200MP Main with Bigger Apertures

Samsung retains the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 primary sensor but upgrades the lens. The aperture widens from f/1.7 to f/1.4 on the main camera – letting in 47% more light for superior low-light shots, less noise, and sharper details.

The 50MP 5x periscope telephoto jumps from f/3.4 to at least f/2.9, improving zoom quality in dim conditions. Other lenses include 50MP ultrawide and likely a 12MP 3x telephoto (upgraded sensor for better details).

New features: laser AF for faster focus, next-gen ProVisual Engine via the chipset, possible 24MP default output for balanced quality/file size, and enhanced video controls like better autofocus/sharpness.

No massive hardware overhaul – focus is on refinements and software/AI boosts.

Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or 2nm Exynos 2600?

Most leaks point to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (TSMC 3nm) for global models, including the US – delivering big gains in efficiency, GPU power, and AI.

Some regions (likely Korea/home market) could get Samsung’s Exynos 2600, rumored as the world’s first 2nm mobile chip. It promises better thermal management, image processing, and GPU performance, though yields are reportedly low and it may not hit all units.

RAM starts at 12GB (up to 16GB on top configs), with faster LPDDR5X at 10.7Gbps. Storage: 256GB/512GB/1TB base options.

Display and Design Upgrades

6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED with M14 panel tech – higher efficiency, up to 2600 nits brightness, 120Hz refresh, and new “Privacy Display” (AI-based screen dimming/hiding for apps like WhatsApp in public).

Thinner design (~7.9mm), aluminum frame, bigger vapor chamber for sustained performance, and possible slight camera bump tweaks (some say it might wobble on flat surfaces).

Battery: Around 5000–5400mAh (modest bump rumored), with 60W wired charging upgrade (from 45W) and 25W Qi2 wireless.

Other perks: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, UWB, S Pen, 7 years of updates on Android 16/One UI 8.

Public Reactions and Launch Buzz

Fans are hyped for the refinements but mixed on incremental changes. Many praise the aperture boosts and privacy screen, while others hope for bigger battery leaps.

I have a strong feeling we will be very impressed with Galaxy S26 Ultra. Strong improvements in camera performance, specifically. Same phone on paper, different in reality.

The S26 Ultra looks set to refine the formula: better low-light photography, premium display tricks, and top-tier performance. If the 2nm Exynos rumors hold in select markets, it could steal headlines.

Launch is just weeks away – expect official confirmation soon. Will this be enough to top the iPhone 18 Pro or Pixel 11? The 2026 war is on.
