DESIGN
Designed to redefine
Meet Galaxy S26 and S26+, our powerful AI phones, unified by a single corner radius that flows across every model and feels perfect in any hand.

PERFORMANCE
Our powerful processor, customised for Galaxy
From epic quests to real-time multiplayer, the customised processor delivers blazing speed and powers a customised image enhancer that helps content look clear and vivid. Plus, a 38% boost to the advanced NPU and 23% smoother visuals keep you ahead of the game.

Upscale your viewing experience
Witness the full spectrum. Enhanced colour and light representation from our advanced mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) technology delivers 4 times better processing precision for richer tones. This results in a substantial boost in graphic performance. ProScaler also gives every image the impact it deserves, thanks to AI processing improvements, providing true-to-life details for an immersive experience.

Play longer. Stay cooler
Stay cool when the action heats up. The redesigned Vapor Chamber and tailored thermal interface material (TIM) support the high-performing customised processor during demanding sessions. By spreading heat more efficiently, they provide up to 29% enhanced heat dissipation for cooler operation.
Further supported by ray tracing and Vulkan optimisation, your device maintains peak performance while watching hours of videos and delivers smooth visuals and lightning-fast rendering without breaking a sweat.

Power up quickly
Your day, uninterrupted. Fast wired charging gets you back to full power in no time – up to 69% charge in around 30 minutes – and keeps you in your flow.

Storage for everyday moments
Galaxy S26 and S26+ come with 12 GB of memory and two storage options: 256 GB or 512 GB so you can choose the capacity that fits how you use your phone. Choose 256 GB to keep your favourite photos and essential apps for daily use. Or upgrade to 512 GB if you like gaming, capture hi-res photos often or download larger apps without slowing down your phone.

CAMERA
Clear and bright, even at night
From city lights to candlelight, Nightography lets nights shine so you can capture special moments more clearly.
The next-gen camera system captures a broader dynamic range, ensuring shadows and highlights remain clear and vivid. The advanced AP then provides noise reduction based on individual noise patterns unique to each sensor type, delivering footage that feels natural and cinematic even in low-light environments.

Check the specs on our powerful camera system
Powered by ProVisual Engine, the advanced 50 MP camera elevates every shot, enhancing your subjects with smarter detail, richer colour and clarity that keeps up with your imagination.

Super Steady Video. Even on the go
Super Steady's new Horizontal Lock feature combines expanded optical angles with gyro and acceleration sensors to recognise the direction of gravity and keep your shots level, even if you rotate a full 360°. Whether you're on rocky trails or chasing your fastest finish, get smoother, shake-free videos every time.

Make every selfie your best shot
Galaxy S26 and S26+'s front cameras now feature an AI image signal processor (ISP) for more natural selfies with highlights and shadows where they should be — true to your natural skin tone and other details such as hair and eyebrows, just as your eyes see them.

GALAXY AI
Photo Assist.
Studio-level edits. Built in
Get quick and easy photo editing with just a few words and AI. Add objects, such as accessories on photos of your pet by naturally describing the edits you wish to make, and Galaxy AI will realise your vision in minutes.

From photos to stickers in a tap
Open Creative Studio and discover a dedicated space to create sticker sets. Mix sketches or photos with text that match your imagination. With a simple text description or a rough sketch outline, Galaxy AI produces the creations. Then, add the set to your keyboard or share it with your friends.

Real-time suggestions when you need it
Now Nudge
Powered by Galaxy AI, all-new Now Nudge can pick up on context on your screen and prompt you with helpful shortcuts. It intelligently minimises the steps to your next action and even provides Autofill suggestions.
Photos can be found and sent more easily. If someone asks for pictures from a recent trip, Now Nudge will understand which snaps you'll need and find them for you. It'll then take you to these specific photos in your Gallery, allowing you to select and send in just a few taps.

Now Brief
Keep your day simplified with Now Brief. It can now track your day-to-day and understand your habits better than before. Exercise playlist recommendations and reminders about important events, like booking details and special travel moments, are now all available as bite-sized briefs sent throughout the day.

Find it fast and easy
Reservation and appointment details are now just a quick search away, using everyday language. On the home screen, you can now use Finder to search for information such as preparations for an upcoming trip like flight details and reminders or notes you have saved. One search brings everything together helping you to remember where things are.

Bixby. Smart help, always available
Need help fast? Ask Bixby. It’s your personal device controller, now with the power to deliver a guide to help you learn how to use features and adjust settings for added convenience. If it's quick answers you need, it will even search the web for you in response to your natural, conversation-like questions.

Privacy by default. Protected by Knox
We’re committed to protecting your information, while providing transparency about how it’s used and shared.

On-device Protection
Our Personal Data Engine gathers and processes your personal data safely. Then it encrypts that data and saves it onto your device with KEEP and Knox Vault, making it harder for anyone else to gain access.

Tailored Controls
Take control over your Galaxy AI. You decide where it gets processed, either on-device or in the cloud.

Connected Security
Knox Matrix Trust Chain technology provides security across Galaxy connected devices so you can monitor the security of other devices right from your Galaxy smartphone.

Circle it, find it
Use Circle to Search with Google to find multiple items of a look by simply circling an outfit on your screen, and it will help you find every piece — from tops to footwear and everything in between — all in one search. You can circle it, search it and find the look, all from exactly where you are.

ONE UI 8.5
Your Galaxy. Your way
Built to adapt to you, One UI 8.5 personalises your Galaxy based on how you use it day-to-day. Designed to be simple and intuitive, contextual reminders from Now Brief and intelligent suggestions from all-new Now Nudge and AI Select make daily tasks easier in just a tap.
