Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro leak reveals disappointing minimal upgrades over S25 model

Samsung's next big release rumor, the Galaxy S26 series, has already got fans talking even when there are still a few months to go.

Early images and reports suggest that the Galaxy S26 Pro may not be very different from last year's Galaxy S25. Instead, upgrades seem small and well-thought-out, according to a Techlusive.in report.

What does the design show?

CAD renders that have been leaked show that the Galaxy S26 Pro will look almost exactly like the Galaxy S25. It is said that it will have thin bezels, a punch-hole front camera in the middle, and a pill-shaped back module with three lenses stacked on top of each other. The size could be about 149.3 x 71.4 x 6.96 mm, as per a report by NDTV Profit.

What kinds of performance improvements are expected?

The device is expected to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, but some areas will get the Exynos 2600 version. RAM could go up to 16GB, which is more than the S25's 12GB. The battery, on the other hand, is still small at 4,300mAh with 25W fast charging, according to a Techlusive.in report.

How are the cameras changing?

There don't seem to be many changes to photography. The Galaxy S26 Pro might come with a 50MP ultrawide sensor instead of the old 12MP lens. The 50MP sensor is likely to be a different version than the S25's, but the 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom will stay the same.


The Galaxy S26 Pro looks like it's meant to be refined rather than reinvented. It has IP68 water resistance, USB 3.2 support, and One UI 8.
