Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, the next flagship smartphone lineup from the company, is likely to launch next year and include the purported Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphones. Recent reports have suggested that the lineup will be powered by the Exynos 2600 in most regions and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset in a few markets. However, a new leak could now suggest that the Galaxy S26 series could debut with a dedicated network chip for connectivity, allowing Samsung to offer more secure, reliable, and efficient wireless connections.

Samsung Galaxy S26’s Exynos S6568 chip: Key details

A fresh listing on the Bluetooth qualified products website has listed a new Samsung chipset: the Exynos S6568. It is being described as a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi companion chip, which is expected to work alongside the main Exynos processor, potentially the upcoming Exynos 2600.

This recent certification of the Exynos S6568 chip indicates that Samsung could be planning to use this dedicated connectivity chip alongside the Exynos 2600 in the upcoming Galaxy S26 series to enhance the wireless performance of the lineup. The Bluetooth SIG announced the Bluetooth 6.1 standard in May, and with this connectivity chip, the Galaxy S26 series could also be the first smartphone lineup to support this Bluetooth standard.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 series in March next year, instead of its usual January or February launch period. We can expect a newer design, faster Qi2 magnetic wireless and wired charging support, and other camera and software improvements in this lineup. Moreover, all models in the series are expected to be equipped with 16GB of RAM.
