On Eve of Unpacked, Leaks Define Galaxy S26 Ultra With Hardware Privacy Display

An EU label lists a 4,855mAh rated battery, undercutting earlier 5,000mAh claims.

Overview

  • Hands-on reports point to a flat 6.9-inch 2K M14 OLED, a high‑clock Snapdragon 8E5, and a 200MP main camera with 50MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x, and 50MP 5x periscope telephoto lenses.
  • A real‑device demo video shows the toggleable hardware system that narrows side viewing angles, with per‑app controls and a local mode that conceals only notification pop‑ups.
  • The leaked EU energy label cites a 4,855mAh rated cell for the Ultra with up to 55 hours of use and IP68 water‑ and dust‑resistance, contrasting earlier 5,000mAh claims.
  • Early benchmarks shared by a leaker report about 3.72 million in AnTuTu and 3648/10989 in Geekbench 6, with no abnormal heating noted, though conditions were not disclosed.
  • A short hands‑on clip indicates wireless charging works without an internal magnetic array, requiring a magnetic case for snap‑on chargers, and the S Pen still lacks Bluetooth with a revised insertion orientation.
