It also features a mobile digital natural image engine (mDNIe) that balances colors, improves contrast and detail, reduces noise, conserves power, and protects eyes and sunlight with Vision Booster technology.

 

The device features a sleek, new Camera Island design with a reinforced aluminum frame that acts as a protective shield. This frame is encased in premium Gorilla Glass Victus 2, one of the world’s most advanced and durable glass screen protectors, safeguarding against surface scratches and minimizing glare. Weighing just 190 g and measuring 7.3 mm thick, the device is powered by the Exynos 2600 processor, one of the world’s most powerful and latest smartphone processors. This Deca-core processor runs at 3.80 GHz, is built on a 2nm process, and supports 5G connectivity. It also includes 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM, the latest and fastest in the world. The device features 256GB or 512GB of internal storage using the latest and fastest UFS 4.0 technology.

 

The device boasts a triple-lens rear camera system: a 50MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization (OIS), a wide-angle lens, 2x optical zoom, video shatter correction, autofocus, up to 30x digital zoom, 8K video recording at 30fps, and FHD slow-motion recording at 240fps; a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera for capturing super-wide-angle shots up to 120 degrees; and a 10MP 3x optical zoom camera. It also supports revolutionary 10-bit HDR, offering up to one billion colors within its wide dynamic range.

The front-facing camera is 12MP, delivering exceptional detail for stunning selfies.

 

The device’s camera also boasts exceptional nighttime photography, both for stills and videos, thanks to several key technologies, most notably its large pixel sensor. With the latest Super HDR update, images are enhanced by AI even before capture, utilizing 10-bit HDR technology. The cameras employ AI-powered deep learning, which improves detail, reduces noise, and enhances overall image quality. The integrated imaging technologies allow you to capture distant subjects with exceptional clarity, even in low light, while videos are filtered out of unwanted sounds such as wind, people, or music. The next-generation ProVisual engine further enhances subject recognition, improving color accuracy, reducing noise, and highlighting details. The Photo Assist feature utilizes AI to fill the background, move objects, resize, or remove them. This makes it the most advanced triple-lens camera available. Additionally, Expert RAW technology allows you to save images in RAW format for later editing, and you can record video in Log video mode and then use professional editing tools without compromising image quality.

The device features revolutionary video stabilization technology. Its Horizontal Lock function, part of the Super Steady feature, combines wide viewing angles with gyroscope and accelerometer sensors to detect the direction of gravity, keeping images perfectly level, even when the camera is rotated 360 degrees. This means that whether you’re on a rocky road or chasing something in your car, you’ll get smoother, shake-free videos.

 

The device is water and dust resistant with an IP68 rating (resistant to fresh water up to a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes). It also features an under-display fingerprint sensor with Ultrasonic technology (using ultrasonic waves to read the depth of the fingerprint and acting as a 3D fingerprint scanner), allowing for smooth, fast, and secure unlocking. The device is protected by the Samsung KNOX Vault multi-layered platform, which operates across multiple hardware and software layers and supports Samsung’s Knox Matrix Trust Chain to monitor the security level of connected devices. It boasts a new and improved heat dissipation system to maintain optimal performance during gaming and other uses. This latest Vapor Chamber system is 21% larger than its predecessor and continuously cools and dissipates heat.

 

The device is dual-SIM, allowing for two SIM cards to be inserted. It has a large 4900 mAh battery, and AI power management detects your mobile usage habits and adapts accordingly for extended battery life. Thanks to the advanced mDNIe technology in the device’s processor, battery life is further enhanced while watching videos. With support for 45W wired fast charging, which charges the device from 0 to 69% in 30 minutes, and 15W fast wireless charging, it features a USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 6, Wi-Fi 7, and GPS. The device runs on Android and will receive updates for seven years from its release date.

 

The device is equipped with Galaxy AI, which seamlessly blends on-device AI with cloud-based AI. It utilizes generative AI and offers services such as language detection and translation, image creation and editing, and more.

 

Among the most important features of the S26+, thanks to its AI technologies, are the following:

 

Live Translate:

This feature translates phone calls between two people speaking different languages. It’s two-way, instantaneous, converting speech to text, thus transforming the audio conversation into a text-based conversation that can be reviewed later.

What distinguishes this technology is that it works internally on the phone, not in the cloud, so an internet connection isn’t required. The other party also doesn’t need to have a similar phone.

 

Circle to Search:

By pressing and holding the home button, an interface appears that allows you to circle an image captured by the camera or stored on the device to instantly search for it on Google. You can also tap on an element in the image to search for it or even highlight specific text within the image.

 

Note Assist:

This technology helps recognize and enhance handwriting within the Samsung Notes app. It also allows for formatting, summarizing, and translating handwritten notes quickly and easily.

 

Galaxy AI Editing Tools:

With the Creative Studio, you can create custom sticker sets by combining sketches or images with a few words for the AI.

 

Now Nudge:

Powered by Galaxy AI, the all-new Now Nudge feature can understand the context of your on-screen request and send you helpful shortcuts. It reduces the steps required to reach the next stage and offers autofill suggestions. For example, finding and sending photos is incredibly easy. If you request photos from your last trip, Now Nudge will understand which ones you want and send them to you, then take you to those photos in your gallery. This allows you to select and send them with just a few taps.

 

Now Brief:

This feature can track your daily life and understand your habits better than ever before. Your playlist, recommendations, reminders for important events like booking details, special travel moments, sleep reminders, and the weather are all available in a concise summary throughout the day.

 

Bixby:

Samsung’s AI-powered personal assistant. Ask Bixby. It’s your personal assistant that can guide you on how to use features and adjust settings for convenience. And if you need quick answers, it will search the web while answering your questions.
