FULL STORY
======================================================================A 
Samsung exec teased some aspects of the Galaxy S26 series during an earnings 
call They mentioned that these phones will have a custom chipset, new camera 
sensors, and next-gen AI They claimed that combined these will revolutionize 
the user experience 

Samsung is already talking up the Galaxy S26 series, as while these phones 
probably wont land before January  and may not launch until March  Daniel 
Araujo, the VP of Samsungs Mobile Experience Division, has teased some of 
what we can expect. 

In Samsungs Q3 2025 earnings call (via Android Authority ), Araujo claimed 
that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series will revolutionize the user experience 
with user-centric, next-gen AI, a second-generation custom AP, and stronger 
performance, including new camera sensors. 

So theres a little to unpack there, but talk of a custom AP likely refers 
either to Samsungs in-house Exynos 2600 chipset or a custom for Galaxy 
version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 . In all likelihood it refers to both 
actually, as Samsung typically uses a mix of Exynos and Snapdragon chipsets 
depending on model and region. The question of cameras The Samsung Galaxy S25

The mention of new camera sensors is more self-explanatory, but a change in 
sensor could mean big upgrades, including higher megapixel counts, or it 
could be a much smaller change, leaving the cameras similar to how they are 
on the current models. 

If nothing else though, this does at least suggest a rumor that pointed to 
completely unchanged cameras on the base Galaxy S26 might be wrong  though 
its possible Araujo is just referring to the Plus or Ultra models here. 

We had previously heard that the base Samsung Galaxy S26 might either have a 
new  but still 50MP  main sensor or a new 50MP ultra-wide camera though, so 
it now looks likely that one or both of those leaks could be correct. 

Finally, theres talk of next-gen AI, which isnt much of a surprise, but 
suggests that AI will once again be a big focus on these phones  though 
whether any of this will truly revolutionize the user experience is more 
questionable. 

Hopefully Araujos claim here isnt an exaggeration though, because if its not 
then the Samsung Galaxy S26 series could rank among the most exciting phones 
of 2026.
