Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra, and the company is once again leaning heavily on AI, camera upgrades and refined hardware to move the lineup forward. While the overall design remains familiar, there are some meaningful differences between the three models, particularly when it comes to display tech, charging speeds and camera hardware.Across the board, the S26 family is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip and runs Android 16 with One UI 8.5. Samsung is also doubling down on Galaxy AI features like Now Brief, Now Nudge and upgraded Circle to Search, positioning the new phones as more proactive assistants than before.As usual, though, the Ultra model is where Samsung is pushing the envelope the furthest. It gains the most advanced camera system, faster wired and wireless charging and the company’s new built-in Privacy Display tech. Pre-orders are available now, with official sales starting on March 11. If you’re trying to decide which model makes the most sense for your needs (and budget), here’s how the three devices stack up on paper.Samsung Galaxy S26 vs. S26+ vs. S26 Ultra: Specs comparedSpecsSamsung Galaxy S26Samsung Galaxy S26+Samsung Galaxy S26 UltraPrice (MSRP)$899.99$1,099.99$1,299.99Dimensions71.7 x 149.6 x 7.2 mm71.7 x 149.6 x 7.2 mm78.1 x 163.6 x 7.9 mmWeight167g190g214gScreen size6.3 inches (FHD+)6.7 inches (QHD+)6.9 inches (QHD+)Screen resolution2340 x 10803120 x 14403120 x 1440Screen typeDynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz adaptive refresh (1–120Hz), Up to 2,600 nits peak brightnessDynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz adaptive refresh (1–120Hz), Up to 2,600 nits peak brightnessDynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz adaptive refresh (1–120Hz), Up to 2,600 nits peak brightnessSoCSnapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for GalaxySnapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for GalaxySnapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for GalaxyRAM12GB12GB12GB or 16GBBattery4,300 mAh4,300 mAh5,000 mAhCharging25W (wired), 15W (wireless)45W (wired), 20W (wireless)60W (wired), 25W (wireless)Storage256/512GB256/512GB256/512GB, 1TBRear camera50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto, 50MP 5x periscope telephotoFront camera12MP12MP12MPVideo captureUp to 4K 60fps, 8K 30fpsUp to 4K 60fps, 8K 30fpsUp to 4K 120fps, 8K 30fpsWater and dust resistance ratingIP68IP68IP68Wi-FiWi-Fi 7Wi-Fi 7Wi-Fi 7BluetoothBluetooth 6.0Bluetooth 6.0Bluetooth 6.0OSAndroid 16 with One UI 8.5Android 16 with One UI 8.5Android 16 with One UI 8.5Colors and finishCobalt Violet, White, Black, and Sky Blue / Pink Gold and Silver Shadow (Samsung exclusive)Cobalt Violet, White, Black, and Sky Blue / Pink Gold and Silver Shadow (Samsung exclusive)Cobalt Violet, White, Black, and Sky Blue / Pink Gold and Silver Shadow (Samsung exclusive)This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s26-vs-s26-vs-s26-ultra-comparing-the-three-new-phones-181047172.html?src=rss
