Samsung Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra: Leaker compares almost all specs with Galaxy S25 counterparts

[Redaktion]

Many details about the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Galaxy S26 Plus and compact Galaxy S26 are already known at this point, so it is time to compare them with their predecessors. A leaker is sending a clear message to Samsung fans around the world, because the upgrades will probably not be major in most cases.

Still a slot for 2 sim cards but no sd card support.
Missing headphone jack.
Weight increases instead of the opposite.

What a shame Samsung.

That's because NanoSIM cards are smaller than microSD cards (let alone regular SD as you mentioned, even though no Android phones use it), and they made the slot dual-sided so two of them can stack together.

We could've seen memory cards in the size of NanoSIM if Huawei didn't keep it all to themselves.

Ok, why not use the same slot as in S23? There wasn't any problem.
Anyway, it's probably still possible to connect an SD Card Reader and wired headphones via USB though.

Amoled 1-120Hz display means it will be flickering in intensity (VRR, Refresh, Scan, PWM) and perhaps FRC. The phone body borders are still sharp for hands, hopefully a silicon case will make it better.
The hw is almost copied year to year. Only slight improvements if I don't count the removed micro SD card slot and the phone jack.

Are you only getting into Galaxy phones for the first time? We haven't had a headphone jack or microSD support for years now. Since the S20 line and the S9 lines respectively (S20 for SD card, S9 for headphone jack).

:-) not really, I still have an S9 and I'm kind of looking for a newer model.
You're right, I didn't know that the S21 and S22 didn't have an SD card slot (btw, the S20 had one).
