The Samsung Galaxy S series has always been one of the brand’s most sought-after lineups, and the upcoming Galaxy S26 series appears set to continue that trend. The highlight of the lineup — the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — is already grabbing attention, thanks to a wave of leaks and rumours hinting at a powerhouse device that builds on the Ultra family’s strong legacy.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Expected Price in India and Launch Date
According to industry buzz, the Samsung Galaxy S26 series — including the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra — could launch as early as January 2026. Pricing whispers suggest the S26 Ultra may start at ₹1,59,990 for the 16GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. However, these figures are based on leaks, and the final price may differ once Samsung makes an official announcement.
Design, Camera, and Specifications
The Galaxy S26 Ultra may see a major design shake-up on the rear panel. Reliable tipster Ice Universe claims that Samsung is ditching the signature floating lens arrangement. Instead, all rear cameras will sit in a single camera island, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s layout.
Under the hood, the device is rumoured to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, built on TSMC’s 3nm process, promising a noticeable performance boost over its predecessor. The Ultra model could also include a 20% larger vapour chamber for improved heat management. Powering it may be a 5,500mAh battery with support for 60W fast charging.
The camera department is where things get even more interesting. Samsung is reportedly swapping out its 200MP ISOCELL sensor for a 200MP Sony sensor, part of a quad rear camera setup. Completing the package could be a 50MP ultra-wide lens, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and a 12MP telephoto shooter.
