"Unlike Apple, which expanded to a four-phone lineup with the iPhone 12, Samsung is sticking with its three-tier playbook: the entry-level Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Since the launch of the S24 two years ago, Samsung has been focused on ramping up generative AI features. This year is no different. There aren't many significant generation-over-generation hardware changes, but Samsung is making up for it with cutting-edge tools and a new privacy display that keeps prying eyes at bay."
"The Galaxy S26 has a slightly larger display than the Galaxy S25: 6.3 inches from 6.2 inches. It's barely heavier, 167 grams vs. 162 grams. Other than that, the generation-over-generation screen specs are the same: a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and a 2340 x 1080-pixel display. Also worth noting is that this entry-level tier no longer starts with 128GB of storage, which is a relief because that holds darn-near nothing if you regularly take photos and videos. The Galaxy S26 now starts with 256GB storage."
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 series, continuing its three-phone strategy with the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Hardware improvements are minimal compared to the S24 and S25 generations. The entry-level S26 features a slightly larger 6.3-inch display, increased storage starting at 256GB, and a modestly improved 4,300 mAh battery. The S26+ maintains identical dimensions and display specifications to its predecessor, with unchanged 4,900 mAh battery capacity. Camera hardware remains consistent across models. Samsung prioritizes generative AI capabilities and introduces a privacy display feature as primary differentiators rather than significant hardware evolution.
