The Galaxy S26 Plus, the middle model in Samsung’s highly anticipated flagship series, has leaked online with CAD-based renders. Rumored to be succeeded by the Galaxy S26 Edge, the S26 Plus will be a key part of the new series and will be released in early 2026.
Galaxy Z Fold 7-Inspired Camera Design
The new renders reveal Samsung’s adoption of a refined, flat design for the Plus. The phone measures approximately 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.35 mm, making it nearly identical in size to the S25 Plus.
The most significant design change in the S26 Plus is its rear camera module. Inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has incorporated an elongated, oval-shaped camera island that vertically aligns three sensors. Positioning the LED flash outside of this module adds a more minimalist touch to the design.
Rendered images show the device in a striking orange color scheme, suggesting Samsung may introduce more vibrant and bold colors for this series. The front of the phone is expected to retain its 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
According to leaked information, the Galaxy S26 Plus is expected to come with either the Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, depending on market location. Key technical details of the device are expected to be as follows:
- RAM and Battery: 12GB of RAM and a 4,900mAh battery.
- Charging Support: 45W wired and wireless charging.
- Camera Setup:
- Main Camera: 50MP
- Ultra-Wide: 12MP
- Telephoto: 12MP
- Front Camera: 12MP
- Software: It is expected to ship with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 out of the box.
Recent leaks suggest that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S26 series at its Unpacked event in February 2026 and launch it globally shortly thereafter.
