Samsung's Upcoming Galaxy S26 Confirms Leaks and Retains the S-Pen
The leaked images of the new Galaxy S26 series match previous rumors. The Ultra model does not give up its most iconic feature: the integrated S-Pen optical stylus. Additionally, it is expected to integrate an innovative Privacy Display screen, a technology that protects user data by restricting the lateral viewing angle. 🔒

It is complemented by a 50 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle, and a 10 MP telephoto for 3x zoom. At the heart of the Galaxy S26 Ultra beats the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. For the S26 and S26 Plus models, the chip choice could vary between this same processor or an Exynos version, depending on the market. 📸
