Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will launch with a 2 TB Enterprise variant, a larger camera island featuring a 200 MP sensor, a 5,200 mAh battery, and the first Qi2 wireless‑charging support on a Samsung flagship. The device also introduces a hardware‑driven Privacy Display and expands color options to 30 finishes across the S26 family.
Configurations and Color Options
The S26 Ultra will be available in three standard storage capacities—256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB—and a dedicated Enterprise model with 2 TB of internal storage. The entry‑level 128 GB option is no longer offered.
Across the S26 lineup, Samsung provides 30 distinct color finishes. The Ultra’s palette includes:
- Phantom Black (matte)
- Titanium Silver (glossy)
- Mint Green (pastel)
- Coral Red (vibrant)
- Deep Sea Blue (Enterprise exclusive)
The S26 and S26+ share several of these hues while adding exclusive shades such as Sunset Orange for the S26+.
Enterprise Edition and Model Numbers
The Enterprise Edition targets business users with enhanced security, extended software‑support windows, and the 2 TB storage option. Model numbers for the European market are:
- SM‑S906U – Standard Ultra (256 GB)
- SM‑S907U – Standard Ultra (512 GB)
- SM‑S908U – Standard Ultra (1 TB)
- SM‑S909U – Enterprise Ultra (2 TB)
Pre‑order Schedule and Pricing Signals
The official announcement is expected in the final week of the launch cycle, with pre‑orders opening for a seven‑day window. Analysts anticipate a modest price increase of roughly €100–€150 over the previous generation, reflecting the larger storage options and new hardware features.
Hardware Upgrades
Camera Island
The Ultra introduces a larger camera island that houses a 200‑megapixel main sensor, a 12‑megapixel ultra‑wide lens, and a 10‑megapixel periscope telephoto module offering up to 10× optical zoom. A global‑shutter sensor improves low‑light performance and reduces motion blur.
Battery and Power Management
Battery capacity rises to 5,200 mAh, complemented by software optimizations Samsung calls a “battery boost,” aiming to preserve all‑day endurance despite the higher‑resolution display and camera hardware.
Qi2 Wireless Charging
The S26 Ultra will be the first Samsung flagship to support Qi2 wireless charging, a next‑generation standard that delivers faster wireless power transfer and broader accessory compatibility.
Software Feature: Privacy Display
A new “Privacy Display” mode dims the screen’s peripheral areas when the device is viewed at typical angles, reducing shoulder‑surfing risks. This hardware‑driven solution leverages the adaptive refresh‑rate panel to lower brightness on the edges without affecting the central viewing zone.
Market Context and Implications
Samsung’s S‑series continues to set the benchmark for Android flagships. The expanded storage options, especially the 2 TB Enterprise model, aim to attract high‑end business users who require ample local storage for large datasets. Qi2 charging could accelerate industry adoption of the standard, pressuring rivals to follow suit. The Privacy Display may inspire other manufacturers to explore hardware‑level on‑screen data protection.
Looking Ahead
As the pre‑order window approaches, consumers and analysts will evaluate how Samsung balances the premium price with the promised hardware and software enhancements. The detailed leak of configurations, colors, and model numbers provides early transparency, allowing potential buyers to plan purchases and enterprises to assess the suitability of the new Enterprise Edition for their fleets.
