Samsung’s next flagship lineup is still months away, but leaks are already hinting at what to expect from the Galaxy S26 Pro. The phone is tipped to launch in early 2026 alongside the S26 Ultra and S26 Edge, and fresh details highlight changes to the display and battery.

According to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the Galaxy S26 Pro (SM-S9420) will feature a 6.27-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, up slightly from the 6.2-inch panel on the Galaxy S25. The difference may come down to slimmer bezels rather than a wider frame, but users can still expect the usual Samsung upgrades in brightness and color accuracy. The panel could also share similarities with the next-gen screen that’s rumored for the S26 Ultra.

Battery life is also set for a minor boost. The S26 Pro is listed with a 4,175mAh cell, which will likely be marketed as 4,300mAh — 300mAh more than last year’s model. While the upgrade is welcome, it still trails rivals like the OnePlus 13T (our review), which packs a 6,260mAh silicon-carbon battery. Charging details for the Pro aren’t clear yet, but the Ultra’s rumored jump from 45W to 60W suggests the standard model could also move up from its 25W rating — especially given that Samsung’s Galaxy A56 already supports 45W, outpacing the flagship S25.

Other leaked specs include a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 or Samsung’s in-house 2nm Exynos 2600 chip and 12GB base RAM. Qi2 wireless charging and an extra NFC antenna are also said to be on board.

With its compact footprint and incremental upgrades, the Galaxy S26 Pro looks like it will follow the same formula as its predecessor — albeit with a “Pro” moniker — aiming to be the “small flagship” of the series rather than the spec monster. More details should surface as Samsung gears up for its January launch window.
