Last month, reports surfaced that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — still a year away, given the Galaxy S25 only went on sale last week — will smash its predecessor in terms of stamina thanks to new battery technology. Korean media put the capacity at 6,000 to 7,000mAh — or a 20% to 40% increase on its predecessor.
If that sounded too good to be true, it may well prove to be so. On X, the leaker @PandaFlashPro — who has been claiming a few Samsung insights of late — has poured cold water on the idea of a big increase, and instead predicted a far more modest gain.
