ProScaler also gives every image the impact it deserves, thanks to AI processing improvements, providing true-to-life details for an immersive experience
Play longer. Stay cooler
A new Vapor Chamber is seen horizontally. Galaxy S26 plus comes into view underneath and Vapor Chamber is seen dissipating heat more efficiently. It then disappears into the device and then a video plays on the screen.
Stay cool when the action heats up. The redesigned Vapor Chamber and tailored thermal interface material (TIM) support the high-performing customised processor during demanding sessions. By spreading heat more efficiently, they provide up to 29% enhanced heat dissipation for cooler operation.
Further supported by ray tracing and Vulkan optimisation, your device maintains peak performance while watching hours of videos and delivers smooth visuals and lightning-fast rendering without breaking a sweat.

Choose 256 GB to keep your favourite photos and essential apps for daily use. Or upgrade to 512 GB if you like gaming, capture hi-res photos often or download larger apps without slowing down your phone.
Clear and bright, even at night
From city lights to candlelight, Nightography lets nights shine so you can capture special moments more clearly.
The next-gen camera system captures a broader dynamic range, ensuring shadows and highlights remain clear and vivid. The advanced AP then provides noise reduction based on individual noise patterns unique to each sensor type, delivering footage that feels natural and cinematic even in low-light environments

Whether you're on rocky trails or chasing your fastest finish, get smoother, shake-free videos every time.
Close. Closer. Whoa
Make every selfie your best shot
Galaxy S26 and S26+'s front cameras now feature an AI image signal processor (ISP) for more natural selfies with highlights and shadows where they should be — true to your natural skin tone and other details such as hair and eyebrows, just as your eyes see them.

Pause
During a text conversation, someone asks for photos from a trip to Seoul. Now Nudge intelligently prompts the user with a Share photos button. When pressed, a search bar with the keywords Seoul photos appears and then a Gallery pop up shows the relevant photos. The user can then view and select photos. Once selected, they can be sent instantly to the friend.
Now Brief
Keep your day simplified with Now Brief. It can now track your day-to-day and understand your habits better than before.
