Recently, tech media outlet Android Headline released a set of CAD renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26+, revealing design details of the new phone. Previously, Samsung had internally planned to replace the Plus model with the Galaxy S26 Edge, but due to the poor market performance of the S25 Edge, the decision was ultimately made to revert to the Plus series.
In terms of appearance, the most significant change in the S26+ is the adoption of a vertically arranged "pill-shaped" camera island on the rear, integrating three lenses and replacing the previous generation's separate protruding design. The front features a 6.7-inch flat display with a centered punch-hole design and extremely narrow bezels. The sides of the phone have a flat frame with slightly rounded corners to improve grip.
In terms of hardware, the new phone continues the dual-chip strategy, with some markets equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Ultra chip, while other markets use the Samsung Exynos 2600 processor. The phone offers 12GB/16GB LPDDR5X RAM options and 256GB/512GB UFS 4.0 storage. The screen is QHD+ resolution (3120×1440) and supports an adaptive refresh rate of 1-120Hz.
Important details regarding imaging and battery life are not yet fully confirmed, but rumors suggest the camera may use the same sensor as its predecessor, and the battery capacity may remain at 4900mAh, supporting 45W wired fast charging and 15W Qi2 wireless charging. In terms of operating system, the new phone will come pre-installed with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 and will support Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0.
