We're only days away from the official Samsung Galaxy S26 reveal, but the seemingly endless pool of leaks is still bearing fruit. Now, a bunch of what appear to be Spanish marketing materials have been posted to X by user @ya_sking12767.

Anyone hoping for some major hardware changes is going to be thoroughly disappointed. The images posted to X show off a Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra that look identical to their predecessors. The actual hardware itself doesn't seem to have changed that much either.

According to what's been posted, we can expect to see the S26 Ultra come with a 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP main telephoto with 5x optical zoom (or 10x "optical quality"), a secondary telephoto with 3x optical zoom and a 12MP front camera.

Battery is still limited to 5,000 mAh, though the promise that the phone will recharge to 75% in 30 minutes suggests rumors of a 60W charging speed might come to fruition. It's worth mentioning that in our testing, the S25 Ultra did hit 71% in that time.

Other points of note include a promise that Neural Processing performance is up by 39% compared to the S25 Ultra, while GPU and CPU performance are up 4% and 19%, respectively. It is not clear whether this is a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, or an Exynos 2600 however.

The final image shows off the privacy display that's been rumored, with the example imagery showing that it will mask what's on your screen when viewed from a side angle. Though, as I noticed in a recent privacy display leak, it doesn't really cover everything.

Other additions that are apparently being marketed include a new Photo Assist feature, which looks like prompt-based photo editing — which Samsung has (sort of) revealed already. And then there are the new Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.

The Galaxy S26 series is set to launch later this week at Galaxy Unpacked. In the meantime, you can keep up to date with all the latest news and rumors in our official Samsung Galaxy S26 and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra hubs.
