According to a new leak, the Samsung Galaxy S26 might not use an under-display camera after all due to poor performance.

A report from Korean-language website FNNews claims that Samsung is considering a move to silicon-carbon batteries for its next-generation Galaxy phones, which could see battery capacities leap from 4,000mAh and 5,000mAh to 6,000mAh and 7,000mAh.

We expect Samsung to follow its tradition and unveil the new Galaxy S26 series in the first quarter of 2026. It's likely this is either going to be early February or mid-January. Judging by the last few years of Samsung Galaxy S Unpacked events, expect a Wednesday. Of course, it's still quite early to have leaks about the exact date.

Samsung is reportedly considering a shift to next-gen silicon carbide batteries, and might ship units as large as 7,000 mAh capacity on the Galaxy S26 series.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a major battery boost, at least according to one source. A tipster was quick to disagree.

More evidence of the Samsung Galaxy S26 getting a major battery upgrade has surfaced, which may make anyone considering picking up a new Galaxy S25 to wait for next year's model.

Samsung has seen successful early yields with the Exynos 2600, its in-house chip slated for use with the Galaxy S26.

Samsung has lagged behind the likes of OnePlus, HONOR, and others when it comes to battery capacity, but that could change with the S26.

Although it's unclear if that will be Si/C or Li-Ion type. A recent report coming out of South Korea claimed that Samsung was planning to pack next

Samsung is said to be adding battery-extending technology to the Galaxy S26 smartphone range, though it should arguably have been present in the Galaxy S25 already. South Korean outlet Fnnews has issued a fresh report claiming that Samsung is pondering the use of silicon-carbon (Si-C) battery technology in next year’s Galaxy S26 family.

Samsung may incorporate new battery technology in upcoming phones for improved battery life. While the details aren't clear, reports indicate that the brand my consider silicon-carbon batteries. These batteries will be able to provide more power without expanding the physical size.
