2. Main functions and features of the new Samsung Galaxy S26 series:

Samsung released three new phones, S26 Ultra, S26+ and S26, on February 26, 2026. Compared with the previous generation, it has five main features:

A. Mainly uses Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 processor:
Samsung S26 Ultra uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy (3 nm) processor produced by TSMC. It is designed for heavy multitasking users, unleashing the full potential of Galaxy AI and driving a customized image intensifier that can instantly improve the clarity and smoothness of visual effects for various applications and content. The NPU performance is improved by 39%, and the GPU performance is improved. 24%, and CPU performance increased by 19%, which can meet the most demanding gaming needs of mobile gamers.
S26+ and S26 will choose Qualcomm S8 Elite Gen 5 processor or Samsung Exynos 2600 (2 nm) processor depending on the country. We will not know until Samsung Taiwan officially announces it.

B. Equipped with Vapor Chamber heat dissipation plate to:
Galaxy S26 Ultra is equipped with a newly designed Vapor Chamber heat dissipation plate that dissipates heat faster and more efficiently than ever before. An advanced cooling system with tailor-made thermal conductivity material (TIM) improves the device’s heat dissipation efficiency by 21%. In addition, Vulkan optimization provides Galaxy S26 Ultra with better gaming light and shadow effects, while 3D images created by ray tracing technology present more realistic colors and reflections.

C.Privacy Display and Glass Victus® 2:
S26 Ultra has a built-in privacy screen. If you turn on “Privacy Display”, you can choose to hide the entire screen or customize the protection range to prevent others from peeking into the screen. This allows users to be fully protected whether it is specific applications, system notifications, or when entering passwords in “Settings”, “Lock Screen” or “Secure Folder”.

The entire S26 series uses the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus® 2, which can improve the device’s drop resistance on rougher surfaces such as concrete surfaces.

C. The charging speed is increased and accelerated:
The maximum wired/wireless charging of the S26 Ultra has been increased to 60W and 25W, which is faster than the 45W/15W charging speed of the S25 Ultra!
The three new S26 models all comply with the Qi v2.2.1 specification, but the maximum wired charging/wireless charging settings of the S26 Ultra, S26+ and S26 are 60W/45W/25W (wired charging) and 25W/20W/15W (wireless charging) respectively. Since the S26 Ultra “POWER PROFILE” is marked “BPP”, it means that the body does not have a built-in magnet. If you want to use magnetic wireless charging, you must use a special protective case or accessory to effectively magnetically position it.

D. Equipped with dual physical SIM cards and eSIM for the first time:
The S26 series supports eSIM function for the first time, adopting nano SIM + nano SIM + eSIM design, bringing more flexibility to overseas travel and business mobile data solutions. However, it has not yet been confirmed that the Taiwanese model will be equipped with 1 or 2 eSIMs, but no matter what configuration, only 2 communication numbers can be enabled at the same time.

E. Change to aluminum alloy frame, which is lighter and thinner:

In order to balance the strength and comfort of the body, the three new S26 models all use Armor Aluminum aluminum alloy frames to replace the titanium frames of the S25 system, allowing the thickness and weight of the mobile phones to be slightly reduced!
