The latest information states that Samsung is expected to officially reveal the Galaxy S26 Ultra at a Galaxy Unpacked event around February 25, 2026, with pre-orders and sales starting shortly after. Despite high expectations, recent leaks suggest the S26 Ultra might stick with a similar battery setup to the previous model, which is a 5000 mAh battery. As the battery is the crucial one, users were highly hoping for advancements regarding it.
While other companies are upgrading the silicon-carbon battery technology that can be useful for longer uses and fast charging, Samsung is continuing with the traditional battery type for now, for their safety and reliability concerns.
