Insider Ice Universe frequently criticizes Samsung for the lack of significant technical innovations in its flagships and to prove his point, he published a detailed comparison table of the characteristics of the Galaxy S25 models and the future Galaxy S26 models.

What's Known

By examining the numbers, it is clear that Samsung is indeed practically not improving its flagships. For example, let's consider the top Ultra models.

Essentially, their characteristics are identical, with the main difference being the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and 60W wired charging instead of 45W. The modern processor should slightly increase gadget performance, but overall, the stagnation of Samsung is obvious. Moreover, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have a sensor even smaller than that of the 2025 flagship.

The situation is no better with other models:

According to insider information, the Galaxy Unpacked event, where the Galaxy S26 lineup will be presented, will take place on February 25, 2026, in San Francisco, but there has been no official information yet.
