New comparison tables have revealed how Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ stack up against the current S25 and S25+, giving us an early look at what’s changing—and what’s staying the same.

Galaxy S25 vs Galaxy S26: What’s New
According to the leaked specs, the Galaxy S26 brings only a few upgrades over the S25. It features a slightly larger display, the same peak brightness and refresh rate, identical camera hardware, and the same RAM configuration. Samsung is reportedly boosting the battery by 300mAh, trimming the thickness by 0.3mm, and adding a newer, more efficient chipset.

Storage now starts at 256GB, as the 128GB variant seems to be dropped. Like the S25, the maximum remains 512GB. The S26 is also 2g heavier, despite being thinner.

Galaxy S25+ vs Galaxy S26+: Almost Identical

The S26+ appears even more similar to its predecessor. The leaked table shows the same display size, resolution, brightness, refresh rate, memory options, storage tiers, camera setup, and battery capacity. Charging specs also remain unchanged.

The only notable differences? A new chipset for improved performance and efficiency, and a slight 4g weight increase. Otherwise, the S26+ and S25+ look nearly identical on paper.

Early Conclusion
If these leaks are accurate, Samsung’s 2026 flagship lineup focuses on chipset upgrades and small refinements rather than major hardware changes. The S26 series appears to offer improved efficiency and battery life but keeps most design and feature elements unchanged from the S25 lineup.
