Samsung fans hoping for a major battery upgrade in the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra may be disappointed. A new report suggests that the tech giant is sticking to its cautious approach to battery innovation.
According to reliable leaker PandaFlash on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung has no current plans to increase the battery capacity of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even if a slight improvement is introduced, the phone’s battery is expected to remain under 5,400 mAh.
This news comes as several major smartphone makers explore high-density battery technology to boost performance and longevity. Samsung, however, appears to be holding off on adopting this new tech for now—despite earlier rumors hinting otherwise.
For fans who’ve long called for better battery life in Galaxy phones, the lack of significant change in the S26 Ultra may feel underwhelming. As it stands, Samsung seems focused on refining existing technologies rather than making bold changes in battery design.
