With powerful hardware working together with an industry-leading camera system and intuitive AI experiences, everyday tasks have never been easier and faster
SYDNEY, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy S26 series, powered by the most intuitive, proactive and adaptive Galaxy AI experiences yet, and designed to simplify the tasks people do on their phones every day. From managing plans and finding information to capturing and refining content, Galaxy S26 reduces the effort and number of steps required to get things done. As Samsung's third-generation AI phones, Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra handle complex tasks in the background, allowing users to focus on results rather than how the technology works.
The Galaxy S26 series was engineered with Samsung's most advanced capabilities working together as one: incredible performance, an industry-leading camera system and Galaxy AI. This provides a strong foundation that gives Galaxy S26 users the confidence to depend on their phone throughout the day.
Building on Samsung's decades of innovation in display technology, Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces the Galaxy's first built-in Privacy Display for mobile phones to unlock a new class of display experiences and reinforce Samsung's commitment to privacy at a pixel level. Galaxy S26 Ultra also delivers a customised chipset and upgraded thermal management that enable faster and more powerful AI – all wrapped up in the slimmest Ultra yet. Together, these choices allow the Galaxy S26 series to deliver the most powerful Galaxy experience yet.
"We believe AI should be something people can depend on every day, designed to work consistently for everyone and without the need for expertise," said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. "With the Galaxy S26 series, we focused on making AI feel effortless, working quietly in the background so people can focus on what matters."
Powerful Performance Designed Around Everyday Use
Engineered for all-day performance, the Galaxy S26 series is built on the most powerful hardware ever on a Galaxy S series. Across the line-up, the Galaxy S26 series is engineered for AI performance, power efficiency and thermal management, ensuring demanding tasks run smoothly and consistently, so users can rely on their device when it matters.
On Galaxy S26 Ultra, a customised mobile processor – Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy[1] – delivers the best performance ever in its class with significant gains across CPU, GPU, and NPU to support faster, smoother experiences that keep up throughout the day.
Story Continues
A CPU performance increase[2] means Galaxy S26 Ultra responds more quickly and handle complex workloads intelligently, even when multiple tasks are running at once. An improvement in NPU performance powers always-on Galaxy AI features that run seamlessly, allowing users to move between tasks without lag or interruption. A boost in GPU performance delivers richer visuals and more fluid gameplay.
To sustain this level of performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a redesigned Vapour Chamber with thermal interface material positioned along the sides of the processor, allowing heat to spread more efficiently across a larger surface area. This improves[3] heat dissipation to keep the device cool and consistent, even during demanding activities such as gaming, multitasking and video capture. To support all-day use[4], Galaxy S26 Ultra also brings Super-Fast Charging 3.0, allowing for a faster charge.[5]
Embedded into the processor, Samsung's proprietary technologies enhance visual performance. ProScaler[6] improves image scaling so photos and videos appear richer and clearer at a glance by sharpening text and fine detail while smoothing textures. Additionally, Samsung's mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) delivers more subtle and lifelike colours thanks to image processing.Taken together, these advancements deliver dependable all-day performance, making every action feel effortless.
Galaxy's Industry-Leading Camera System
The Galaxy S26 series brings the same focus on intuitive interaction to creativity and productivity, delivered through the best Galaxy camera system. With an approach that integrates capturing stunning photos and videos, editing and sharing into a single, seamless experience, creativity feels more natural and accessible even without professional tools or technical knowledge.
On Galaxy S26 Ultra, wider camera apertures[7] allow more light to reach the sensor, delivering clearer photos with richer details in low-light conditions, even when zoomed in. Enhanced Nightography Video[8] keeps footage clearer and more vibrant even in dim scenes, whether capturing concerts indoors or recording moments around a campfire after sunset. Video capture is further enhanced with upgraded Super Steady[9] capabilities, which add a horizontal lock option for greater stability and to make consistent framing easier to achieve, even with bumpy trails or fast-paced activities. Galaxy S26 Ultra is the first Galaxy device to support APV, a new professional-grade video codec designed to deliver efficient compression for high-quality production workflows. Developed with advanced creators in mind, it can help maintain high video quality even through repeated edits.[10] Improvements to the AI ISP[11] now extend to the selfie camera, capturing more natural skin tones and finer detail in mixed lighting.
Editing photos and videos is just as easy and straightforward, with AI-powered tools built into familiar workflows so users can make changes quickly and unlock their creativity without design expertise. With the upgraded Photo Assist[12] suite, users can simply describe what they want to change in their own words. Changing the scene from day to night is just a matter of asking. It can also add to images and restore missing parts of objects lik…
