Samsung Galaxy S26
Coming soon
The Samsung Galaxy S26, formerly known as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro, isn't here yet. But when it arrives in likely early 2026, there are high expectations for some notable upgrades. If they all prove true, it could mark a worthwhile upgrade for those still hanging onto older models.
Pros
- Design overhaul, thinner (speculated)
- Switch to silicon battery (speculated)
- Slightly bigger screen with same size (speculated)
- Likely still 7 years of OS and security updates
Cons
- Possible switch to Exynos processor (speculated)
- No major camera overhaul for the entry model (speculated)
- Charging speeds may remain the same (speculated)
Samsung Galaxy S24
Still viable
The Samsung Galaxy S25 didn't represent a huge leap over the Samsung Galaxy S24, which was introduced in 2024. With seven years of software and security support behind it, the Galaxy S24 is still a viable option, the first model to integrate AI into the experience as well.
Pros
- AI features are available
- 7 years of OS and security updates (5 left by 2026)
- Not a major step down from the Galaxy S25
Cons
- Outdated
- Not compatible with S Pen
- RAM limited to 8GB
