Samsung S26 Leak: New Camera Designs, AI Features, and Charging Tech

This leak of the Galaxy S26 series discloses considerable design and feature changes of the much-anticipated 2026 flagship. There shall be three different models in the series: the S26 Pro (which replaces the vanilla S model), the S26 Edge (which replaces the Plus), and the S26 Ultra. Upstaging the Edge model is a wide camera module that somewhat goes against the widely rumored iPhone 17 Pro design, along with a dual-camera setup intended to minimize wobbling when placed on a flat surface. The Pro and Ultra take a subtler approach to camera module changes, with the Pro combining three cameras into one unit and the Ultra retaining some last year’s camera features but with a more rounded camera design.
