Samsung is set to launch its Galaxy S26 series on February 25 at a dedicated Unpacked event held in San Francisco

 

[david25]

We all know the S26 will not change very much, maybe the display on the Ultra will be noteworthy.

One thing that might save the 26 is the weight at 137g its even lighter compared to the Pixel 5 (note, some people think this is typo and it will be 167g)

Major leak suggests Galaxy S26 will be taller and much lighter, S26+ details also surface

The vanilla Galaxy S26 will reportedly feature a larger 6.3" display (up from 6.2") and a bigger 4,300mAh battery (up from 4,000mAh). And yet it will be 25g lighter.

[david25]

I will be very interested if the S26 is under 140g.

However, if its the same weight as the S25, then I want a mega pre-order deal please!

I don't see much being mentioned about the rumoured f1.4 aperture? Am I getting my hopes up that this may help resolve motion blur finally?
I know motion blur has been a big topic in the past.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Maybe I'm expecting too much!

It will let more light in allowing for a faster exposure setting, proof will be in the testing though

Less than a week to go.

What you think the chances are of a £200 trade in for any device happening for the ultra?

This will be my first time buying at launch so can anyone recommend tips to get the best price?
I'm thinking of using my son's student discount. Will that work in the ultra?

I'm hoping for...

£1061 ( student discount)
£200 any device trade in
And what ever codes and vouchers are available.

Visit hotdealsuk on Wednesday for the best student and non-student deals!
