A tipster claims that if Samsung expands the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra's 5,000mAh battery, the Galaxy S26 Ultra's battery may be "under 5,400mAh." All praised the Galaxy S25 Ultra's battery optimization, while rivals have silicon-carbon batteries with more than 6,000mAh. Furthermore, 50W wireless and 80W+ wired charging are available on Chinese flagships. Samsung still offers 15W wifi and 25W or 45W wired, though.

The gadget might use the as-yet-unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which is based on a 3nm technology, under the hood.
