Tipster Ice Universe claimed on Weibo that the Galaxy S26 will weigh 164 grams, while the Galaxy S26 Plus is set to weigh 191 grams. This is slightly heavier than the Galaxy S25 (162 grams) and Galaxy S25 Plus (190 grams).
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra apparently weighs 214 grams. This would be lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra (218 grams). It would also be lighter than initially rumored, as an earlier leak suggested the upcoming Ultra phone weighs 217 grams.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s lighter design would follow a recent trend of weight reductions for the Ultra line. The Galaxy S24 Ultra weighed 232 grams, but Samsung took a scalpel to the S25 Ultra by making it 14 grams lighter.
In any event, I’m glad that the S26 and S26 Plus are only seeing a slight weight gain, while the S26 Ultra continues the trend of losing weight. Then again, I wonder how many readers would accept a heavier device in exchange for better cameras and bigger batteries.
