4 days agoSamsung Galaxy A57 5G may offer faster charging than flagship Galaxy S26
The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G supports 45W wired charging (10V/4.5A and 15V/3A), exceeding the Galaxy S26 and S26+ maximum 25W wired charging.
Earlier this month, a leak suggested that Samsung would unveil the Galaxy S26 series in late February 2026 with sales beginning in March. However, a new report now claims the launch could happen sooner. According to a report from South Korea, Samsung has managed to move back the Galaxy Unpacked date to late January next year, with sales expected to begin in early February.
Samsung was supposed to revamp its flagship smartphone lineup next year, rumors said, but if that was ever true, the company changed its mind at some point and now we're expecting the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra to arrive in early 2026. Today purported screen protectors for the trio have been leaked in China, and you can see them below. Two things stand out here, alongside the confirmation that these will be the three models launching early next year.
There's been no shortage of rumors surrounding Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 series, with the latest one suggesting a potential delay in its launch. Now, a new leak indicates that the lineup could debut with an Exynos connectivity chip. A new Samsung Exynos S6568 chipset has been listed on the Bluetooth qualified products website. It has been described as a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi companion chip with Bluetooth 6.1 support that's meant to be used with an Exynos SoC.
For a while now, we've been hearing rumors about how Samsung will call the Galaxy S25's successor Galaxy S26 Pro. So many rumors, in fact, that it pretty much seemed like a given. Now a new rumor claims the exact opposite: there is no Galaxy S26 Pro, the Galaxy S25's successor will be called Galaxy S26. And it will be launching alongside the Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra, as usual.
Samsung has not introduced many significant upgrades to the camera hardware of its flagship Galaxy S series since the Galaxy S21 series, and it appears that the Galaxy S26 family will be no different. According to a Korean news outlet, the company isn't planning any major changes to all three upcoming Galaxy S26 phones next year. A quick reminder that according to the latest rumors, just like Apple, Samsung is planning to replace the Plus model with the Edge,
