A recent report from Android Authority, citing Korean industry sources like The Elec, indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus will likely not receive a significant display upgrade, retaining a 6.66-inch screen, similar to the Galaxy S25 Plus. This "bad news" for consumers eager for innovation is attributed to Samsung's late strategic shift in its product lineup. The company had reportedly considered discontinuing the Plus model in favor of a thinner 'Edge' variant, but reversed this decision in late October. This abrupt change left limited time for the development and implementation of substantial hardware enhancements for the S26 Plus. Beyond the display, leaks suggest that the Galaxy S26 Plus may also retain other key specifications from its predecessor, including a 4,900mAh battery and 45W wired charging speeds. While the base Galaxy S26 might see a slight increase in display size and the entire S26 series could potentially gain Qi2 wireless charging support, the Plus model appears to be largely an iteration rather than a significant upgrade. In contrast, the premium Galaxy S26 Ultra is anticipated to receive more substantial improvements, such as a new M14 OLED panel with advanced privacy features. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is widely expected to be unveiled at a Galaxy Unpacked event in late February 2026, with a global release likely in mid-March. This news, predominantly based on supply-chain leaks, suggests that while the S26 Ultra aims to push boundaries, the S26 Plus might be a less compelling upgrade for current S25 Plus owners.
