Leaked firmware files reveal that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s successor next year and will ship with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 out of the box.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

This appears to be in line with a recent report by Ice Universe revealing a shift in Samsung’s software update strategy that gives the foldables the latest One UI iteration<\/a> and polishing it for the Galaxy S series.<\/p>\n

The firmware file has been found on Samsung’s server, which means the tech giant is already working on developing One UI 8.5 for its future S26 lineup.<\/p>\n

The firmware reads PMK8850 serial number, which likely refers to Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship chipset. Given that the S25 Ultra ships with Snapdragon 8 Elite, also referred to as 8750 in its own firmware, it’s probably safe to assume that the S26 Ultra will continue to use Qualcomm’s chip.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean all three Galaxy S phones will be powered by the Snapdragon, though. The S26+ and the vanilla S26 will likely feature the company’s upcoming Exynos 2600 SoC, which promises solid CPU<\/a> and GPU<\/a> performance. Also, another recent report claims that Samsung has found a way to keep the Exynos 2600 cooler<\/a>.<\/p>\n
