The company has not made a final decision on the switch though.

        Given how the S25 Ultra is basically identical to the S24U, i expect the S26U to bring some bigger upgrades
        This is how it usually goes with Samsung, release the same phone as last year before bringing upgrades next year and then after that release the same phone again, repeat...

          So now you are trying to tell me that only Samsung phones are flagships? What was your definition again on flagships? Oh doesn't matter, I'll just copy one from Google.

          "the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization." - There you go.

          So now you tell me, Honor Magic4 Pro, Magic6 Pro, vivo X Note, X80 Pro, Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, OnePlus 7T Pro weren't flagship devices? Oh, I have some tricky ones too, Infinix Zero Ultra, Zero 30 were not flagships? I know the latter 2 don't have flagship chipsets, but by definition they were Infinix's flagships.

          "It's a rumour"

          Yeah, which is why I started my comment with "I mean, even if..", learn how to read, after all that ability is even in your name.

              Samsung needs to have all Ultra specs and camera setup inside a compact S25-size phone. iPhone and Pixel has already been doing this. Samsung is lagging behind.

Just a change in periscope camera, that's what I am hearing from Korea for S26U. 326MP camera sensor which was in developing state, has been thrown into dustbin.

                              I "upgraded" from the Note20 Ultra to the S24 Ultra thinking I will have a much better battery life due to supposedly superb Snapdragon. I couldn't be more wrong, it's the same. Such a shame that Samsung has been removing features for five years straight and didn't upgrade ANYTHING.

                                Rebuttal afaik Samsung can be charged using present option?

                                "Samsung waited a year to perfect it and make it safe, and only their Si/C batteries are safe, especially because only those will be charging this slow. Lmao"

                                Your increaseing neuroatypical comments are as transparent and as always can be both content predicted and as expected mind numbingly boring due to repetitiveness.

                                It's a rumour
                                "Samsung is considering enhancing the battery capacity of the Galaxy S26 by altering the battery technology. FNNews suggested that the Korean company MAY adopt a Silicon-Carbon solution, potentially enabling the phones to achieve a capacity of up to 7,000 mAh."

                                So far no senior executive have made any formal announcement.

                                Now readers must be confused (not) as DY has in Anti science, anti physics, Anti Samsung repeatedly trounced ad nauseum Samsung battery

                                7000mAh this is a good thing isn't it? finally someone at Samsung independently of Darling Yext is giving SAMSUNG CUSTOMERS**** what they want via planned upgrades.

                                Oh oh I can see how bad this is for you! No matter, don't let facts ruin a multi year campaign of misinformation, even though multiple people post unaffected, by 25W presumably as 5 hours sleep I required.

                                E.g. 45W v 25W S25 V S25+ 18 EIGHTEEN minutes from flat to full charge, or put another way 25W gets to approx 80% from flat. source https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s25_vs_samsung_galaxy_s25_plus_review_battery_camera_price_compared-news-66442.php

                                Literally you have to be swimming, and choose NOT to charge phone also ignores battery icon.
                                Even new phones come with some charge. Unless you are clueless, virtually everyone carries charge capability or has access.

                                ****@ Darling Yext, you've posted many times (despite that we've kept our eyes)

                                It's jealousy, the phone you own is NOT & was never a flagship, we know the brand, we even know that family members also do not use Samsung or flagshipsTMI? (no DY has nothing to contribute to the topic so makes it about himself 99% sure nobody asked)

                                Get over it
                                Flagship phones are not for everyone,
                                First you have to know what a flagship is, if not how to Google "flagship"

                                I apologise on behalf of FLAGSHIP phone owners especially Samsung flagship owners past, present and rumoured 7000mah future owners, for our phones being perceived deficient in some areas (sic) that DY non flagship phone is reported without evidence been better.

                                  Anonymous, 4 hours agoOLED screens aren't improved versions of LCD screens. ... moreYou are missing my point. Yes, they're fundamentally different in how they create an image. However, the development of OLED didn't emerge from thin air. LCD technology came first, and OLED was developed later. Specifically, LCD technology uses a backlight to illuminate pixels. OLED technology eliminated that backlight, having each pixel emit its own light.

                                  So, while they are distinct, OLED can be seen as a subsequent evolution or improvement, building upon the knowledge gained from LCD research, even if it's a very different approach....think of it as a newer, more advanced model developed based on the experience gained from the older, LCD

That's nonsense.
                                    Btw my son's nothing phone 2a refuses to charge with Xiaomi 65W charger.. tested few times when he visited friends around.. so.. there you go

                                      What's wrong with special/proprietary smartphone chargers? You can still buy replacements if needed, plus the EU has made it mandatory now for every new device with super fast charging to also support PD, which could be up to 100W. Samsung could just ads 100W PD to their phones and thus be among the top phones when it comes to charging speeds as well.

                                      *(I get that it was joke, just not sure why it needed to be.)

                                        This brings more promise for the S26 Edge
