Galaxy S26+: The Sweet Spot

Priced at ₹89,999-₹99,999, the S26+ offers a larger 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The 5,500mAh battery ensures all-day usage, while 12GB RAM with 512GB storage handles heavy multitasking. Enhanced triple camera system delivers flagship-quality photos with improved computational photography.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: The Beast

The Ultra is priced at ₹1,59,999 (16GB/256GB variant) and features a massive 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED display. The revolutionary camera system includes a 200MP main sensor, 50MP ultra-wide, 50MP 5x telephoto, and 10MP 3x telephoto. The game-changer? An under-display 12MP selfie camera for truly immersive viewing.

Battery capacity reaches 5,000-5,400mAh with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. Up to 16GB RAM with 1TB storage, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 7 years of software support running One UI 8 based on Android 16.

Galaxy S26 Edge: Ultra-Slim Innovation

Samsung‘s answer to ultra-thin flagships, the Edge may replace the Plus model entirely according to recent leaks. With a 6.7-inch display and emphasis on slimness, it sacrifices some features for portability. The 4,300mAh battery with 45W charging balances thinness with functionality. Dual camera setup focuses on essentials without telephoto bulk.

Performance & AI Features

All models feature Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in major markets (US, Korea, China, Japan) or Exynos 2600 elsewhere. Qualcomm X85 modem delivers 12.5 Gbps downloads. Samsung is partnering with Perplexity AI, moving beyond Google Gemini for advanced AI capabilities.

Should You Wait?

If you’re using Galaxy S24 or older, the S26 series justifies waiting with significant battery, charging, and camera upgrades across all models.
