There\u2019s prominent Galaxy AI branding, of course, as well as a quick look at Samsung\u2019s Photo Assist feature showing some prompt-based image editing. Samsung previously teased that edits would be more integrated with the rest of the camera experience this year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"705224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galaxy-s26-promo-leak-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-705224\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"705225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galaxy-s26-promo-leak-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-705225\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The leaked images then go into some more specs and details.<\/p>\n<p>One image shows the Privacy Display, with the entire screen darkened at an off-angle. It\u2019s still unclear whether or not the Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra is an all-or-nothing feature, as prior leaks showed the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/02\/17\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-privacy-display-settings-leak\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"704654\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">settings with some granular options<\/a>.

The battery size on Galaxy S26 Ultra is unchanged at 5,000 mAh with Samsung saying battery life should be around 31 hours, unchanged from <a
