Even Samsung’s most loyal fans have likely noticed that the South Korean company may no longer offer the best camera-focused flagship phone due to minor incremental upgrades over the past years. After the Galaxy S26 Ultra launches, three other flagship phones in are already waiting in the wings and could become a serious threat to Samsung in 2026. Alongside new Xiaomi 17 Ultra teasers, a leaker is currently highlighting what to expect from the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra.

Samsung smartphones are possibly some of the most-leaked products in the world. The company is reportedly implementing measures to stop the public from obtaining details about the features and design of the next Galaxy flagship six months ahead of its launch – just in time for the Galaxy S27 leak season.

More than six months prior to the purported iPhone 18 Pro launch this September, it already seems fairly clear how the iPhone 18 Pro generation will differ from the current iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max flagship models. An analyst has now summarized the expected changes and upgrades.
