Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in the next few months. Ahead of its anticipated launch, exciting information about the new phones is coming to light. Samsung plans to offer four different models: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, Galaxy S26 Ultra, and Galaxy S26 Edge. We're starting to discover details about their designs, charging methods, battery life, and storage options.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Series RAM and performance upgrades
The new Galaxy S26 series phones are set to come with at least 12GB of memory, which is an improvement over the previous Galaxy S25 and S25+ models that had options for 8GB and 12GB. This means the S26 models will be able to perform tasks more smoothly and efficiently, making them faster and more powerful for everyday use. No 8GB RAM option is expected in this lineup.
This memory upgrade is anticipated to be coupled with faster processing speeds than previous generations. Furthermore, the series will be powered by either the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or the Exynos 2600 processor, depending on the region.

Reliable tipster Ice Universe has shared information on X suggesting significant improvements in memory performance. Data access speeds of up to 10.7 Gbps are expected.
There is also speculation that Samsung might utilise its newly announced LPDDR6 technology in the Galaxy S26 series. This technology may be officially showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 early next year, potentially paving the way for 12GB or even 16GB RAM options in the top-tier models.
