Samsung Galaxy S 25 Ultra buyers were dismayed to find out that once again, the battery capacity of Sammy’s top-of-the-line flagship phone was 5000mAh. The last few generations of the Galaxy S Ultra models have been equipped with the same capacity battery. To end this monotonous repetition, the manufacturer is reportedly looking at ways to remove the S Pen silo from the phone which would help open up internal space for a larger battery.
We could see the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the rest of the Galaxy S26 line introduced sometime next January 2026 and released later the same month. We expect the Galaxy S26 Ultra to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 with Galaxy application processor (AP). The other models will be equipped with the Exynos 2600 AP in all markets except for the U.S., China, and Canada. In those countries, all Galaxy S26 series models will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 with Galaxy AP.
