Samsung S26 Series Final Look Lunch Date `With Zextons Expert Guide In UK

Even more important is that the Corning Gorilla Glass used. is a new Corning Gorilla Glass. That is, we did not get anywhere before this mobile phone. And it is possible that Samsung claims that this is the first phone in the world in which you do not need to use a tempered glass protector. Which means that if you use this mobile phone without any glass protector, it will not be damaged.  you will get to see an upgraded version of anti-reflective coating in this mobile phone. 

Software Upgrades

Another feature of the display that Samsung is adding, this is not just a display feature, this is also a feature of Samsung's software. That is, when we look at this mobile phone from the front, it will look normal.

But if a person looks from the side, then just like in privacy glass protectors, it is not visible from the side. It will work exactly the same. And we can configure it. We can do that if we open WhatsApp then this feature is on Rest of the time.

This is a hybrid feature that uses both hardware and software to ensure your privacy from side-peepers. So it will work very well. And you can also put this restriction on it by going to Samsung routines That when We enter the office Then this feature will be on.

When we enter my house, the feature will be off Or you can even customize it the opposite way based on your needs using Samsung Routines. So this thing is also 100% confirmed that this display feature is in S26 Ultra.

Battery Specs & Charging: Why Samsung is Jumping to 60W Fast Charging

The disappointing news is that Samsung is bringing a 5000 mAh battery in the S26 Ultra. This means that this will be one of the smallest battery-powered mobile phones of this year. 

IPhone also comes with the same battery and in the case of iPhone, we always saw that there was a difference of 1000 mAh from Samsung. So why is Samsung not putting a big battery? Our Expert thinks the reason behind it is that Samsung is scared.  Here is Detailed Information About iPhone vs Samsung Battery Drain

First, there were cases of Note 7, then there were cases of the ring that Samsung launched that its battery is swelling. So it is possible Samsung does not want to take any risk by putting a new battery technology.

Another thing that Samsung is going to include is Qi 2 wireless charging. So basically Qi 2's standard is a new wireless charging standard in which you not only get fast charging but also the magnets on the back of the iPhone are Qi standard magnets.

Which means that the magnetic accessories are also attached to it. The body of S26 Ultra will not have magnets but to support this standard Samsung will provide official covers which will have magnets which will be used to charge the iPhone.

Now it has come from Google also named Pixel Snap. So those charges will be used on it. But the good news is that Samsung is doing fast charging better and in S26 Ultra from 45 watts Samsung is going to go up to 60 watts which is a very big. going up to 60 watts, which is a very big jump for Samsung users.

Redesigned S26 Ultra: Curved Edges and the Future of the S-Pen

Samsung is going to change the design of this phone. Obviously, this phone will come in a different design than the previous one. But it is also being rounded more than before. And it has become so round that when you take out the S-Pen from the body

the button on its back is usually curved. Because the body becomes curved at that place. And another thing Samsung has done is that this time the S Pen will come in white or black color only the upper button will be colored according to the body of your mobile phone.

That means when the S Pen will be inside the body then it will look like color matching. But when we use it then it will be either black color or white color.

And the situation seems to me that Samsung may remove this S Pen in some time Because in the coming time, the S Pen is coming But gradually Samsung is putting it on the side, meaning its features are being removed, it means that Samsung is not focused on it So We are assuming that after sometime Samsung will remove it but for now S Pen is included in this phone. 

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 vs. Exynos 2600: Which One Will You Get?

Now, as far as the processor, RAM and storage options are concerned, the news is that Samsung is not going to change the options of storage and RAM this time, at least on the S26 Ultra. The thing that is changing is the processor.

There is a very high chance in the market that we will get to see a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. But in some markets, Exynos 2600 is also coming and the news is also coming that some. Among those things, Samsung's own processor is better.

Every year we hear that Samsung's own Exynos processor has improved, but often it fails to beat the Snapdragon in performance. So, I would recommend the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variant. So I will recommend this only if someone is watching Samsung.

Give 8 Elite Gen 5. One thing is for sure that the base variant of the Samsung S26 is increasing its storage. We also saw in the iPhone that the base variant of the iPhone 17 has been increased to 256.The price tag is also increasing. Early pricing reports place it at £954.51 (Roumors) for the base model, maintaining stable pricing across recent Ultra releases.

So it is not like that 128GB is being removed and 256GB is being brought. It is like that if we will not sell 128GB then automatically 256GB will be based and its price tag was already high. So that is the situation that the base variant is coming on the side of 256GB.

Next-Gen Galaxy AI: Real-Time Call Scam Detection & Google Collaboration

Another news here is that Samsung is collaborating with many AI companies. For example, Google has a feature of scam detection. So that will also come into this mobile phone.

Which means that if you are not using the internet, If you are in a call with someone, then your phone can tell you in real time that I think this is a scam by listening to this call. But this feature is available in some countries for now, so whether it will work in the UK or not will be seen.

These are the News  that we have received so far. Zextons assumes that when its launch event will happen, there will be some more details, especially related to software. So we will make a video on a launch event. But this is the latest news that we Have to before the launch.

Final Thoughts
