Samsung is once again at the centre of tech talk with its new Galaxy S26 range, a series launching with three distinct models: Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra. All three share the brand’s premium philosophy, a strong focus on artificial intelligence and a clear commitment to productivity, photography and security, but each interprets this approach in a different way.
Samsung is once again at the centre of tech talk with its new Galaxy S26 range, a series launching with three distinct models: Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra. All three share the brand’s premium philosophy, a strong focus on artificial intelligence and a clear commitment to productivity, photography and security, but each interprets this approach in a different way.
Samsung is sticking to its strategy of offering three versions of its S series to cater to different types of users. Although all three models share the same DNA, there are key differences that make each one unique.
At CelularB2B, we already have this new range in our portfolio – particularly good news for distributors, professionals and businesses looking for high-performance smartphones backed by an established brand and designed to last for several years. Samsung has confirmed for the Galaxy S26 series seven generations of operating system updates and seven years of security updates, an increasingly important factor for both demanding users and corporate environments.
A gradual evolution, but one with a clear focus
This is the entry-level model and the most affordable in the series. It is designed for those looking for a powerful smartphone without going for the ultra-premium range. Some of its key features include:
- 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate.
- Exynos 2500 / Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor (depending on region).
- 4,000 mAh battery with fast and wireless charging.
- Enhanced camera system with a 50 MP main sensor and new AI features for computational photography.
It is an ideal device for the average user who wants a smooth-running phone with good battery life and advanced photographic capabilities without paying a premium price.
Three models, three ways of approaching the high-end market
Samsung is sticking to its strategy of offering three tiers within its flagship series. The Galaxy S26 is presented as the most compact and well-balanced model. It features a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, FHD+ resolution, an adaptive refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz, a 50 MP, a 4,300 mAh battery and 25 W charging. It is a particularly attractive option for those who want power and a premium experience without switching to larger formats.
The Galaxy S26+ takes a step up in terms of size, battery life and visual comfort. It features a 6.7-inch display with QHD+ resolution, retains the adaptive refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz and features a 4,900 mAh battery with 45 W charging. The CelularB2B listing also shows it with 12 GB of RAM, an Exynos 2600 processor, a 50 MP main camera and a very balanced combination of display, battery and performance, making it a highly attractive device for both professional use and users who consume a lot of multimedia content.
Above both of these sits the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the most ambitious model in the range. Samsung has equipped it with a 6.9-inch QHD+ display, a 200 MP main camera, a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle lens, dual telephoto lenses, a 5,000 mAh battery and 60 W charging. It also features the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy in its main configuration, along with options offering up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, depending on the version and market.
Artificial intelligence is taking centre stage even more
While the S24 series marked the start of a new era for Samsung and the S25 series cemented it, the S26 family clearly builds on that path. Samsung describes this generation as its most intuitive Galaxy AI experience to date, with tools designed to reduce the steps between intention and action. Key features include an evolution of Circle to Search, improvements to Now Brief and Now Nudge, as well as more natural interaction with assistants such as Bixby, Gemini and Perplexity in certain markets and configurations.
In practical terms, this means a smartphone that not only responds, but also anticipates. For example, it can suggest actions based on the context of what appears on screen, help share content more quickly, recognise multiple elements within an image, or facilitate everyday tasks without forcing the user to switch between apps. In a professional context, this AI layer can be particularly useful for organisation, productivity, contextual search and information management.
Photography and video: Samsung remains a top-tier player
Photography remains one of the key selling points of the Galaxy S series. In the S26 and the S26+, Samsung has opted for a reliable and balanced setup: a main sensor of 50 MP, an ultra-wide-angle lens of 12 MP, a telephoto lens of 10 MP with 3x optical zoom and a front-facing camera of 12 MP. The CelularB2B listing for the S26+ also highlights the role of artificial intelligence in optimising colour, sharpness and focus.
In the Galaxy S26 Ultra, however, the offering is clearly taken to the next level. Samsung talks of wider apertures to capture more light, improvements to Nightography, more advanced Super Steady video and support for B APV/strongB , a more professional-grade video codec. On paper, it is a device designed not only to take good photos, but also for content creators, advanced users and those who want a phone ready for almost any situation.
Xataka also focuses on the Ultra’s display and how it feels in the hand, highlighting that it remains the star of the series and that the new on-screen privacy feature is one of the most striking new additions to the range
Performance, cooling and battery life for long days
One of the most interesting aspects of the Galaxy S26 range is the combination of raw power and thermal management. Samsung claims that the entire series has been designed with sustained performance in mind, which is essential when it comes to multitasking, editing, video calls, productivity tools, background AI, or intensive use over many hours.
In the case of the S26 Ultra, Samsung highlights significant improvements in the CPU, GPU and NPU compared to the previous generation, as well as a new, redesigned vapour chamber to better dissipate heat. For the S26 and the S26+, Samsung also mentions a redesigned vapor chamber and the use of market-specific processors, including the Exynos 2600 and, depending on the region, other configurations. On CelularB2B, the Galaxy S26+ is specifically listed with the Exynos 2600, 12 GB of RAM and a 4,900 mAh battery.
All of this boils down to one clear idea: the S26 series isn’t just about being fast in a demo or a benchmark, but also about remaining stable when the day demands more than usual. And for many business users, that matters just as much—if not more—than a one-off improvement in design.
Security and privacy: an increasingly important consideration
Samsung has been emphasising security for some time now, and the Galaxy S26 series takes this a step further. The brand maintains its security ecosystem with Samsung Knox, Knox Vault, improvements to Knox Matrix, features such as Private Album and new layers designed to protect personal data in more advanced AI scenarios.
But the most striking new feature comes with the Galaxy S26 Ultra and its Privacy Display, an integrated privacy screen that Samsung describes as the first of its kind on a mobile phone. The idea is clear: to protect the screen from being viewed from the side in public settings, something particularly useful when commuting, in meetings, at airports, in cafés or in any mobile working situation. It is no coincidence that Samsung has placed such emphasis on this: visual privacy has become a real concern for many users.
Which model should I choose?
The answer depends on the type of user. The Galaxy S26 is a great fit for those who prioritise ease of use, a compact design and access to a high-end device without breaking the bank. The Galaxy S26+ is likely to be the most balanced option for many professionals: a large screen, good battery life, plenty of power and a very comprehensive premium experience. And the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the natural choice for those who want the very best in photography, display, AI, performance and unique features.
The new Galaxy S26 series, now available at CelularB2B
With the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra in the CelularB2B portfolio, we are expanding our range of premium smartphones with one of the most significant series on the market today. This series is designed for discerning users, professionals, distributors and businesses who value innovation as much as reliability, security and ongoing support.
Samsung hasn’t set out to reinvent the wheel with this generation, but rather to refine what already worked and enhance it with more AI, better performance, greater security and an Ultra model that once again sets itself apart. In short, a range that upholds the prestige of the Galaxy S family and has already taken its place in the CelularB2B catalogue.
