Samsung has pulled this off before — including last year — and doing it across the board again reinforces the brand’s push to deliver the best possible in-hand experience.
In the contest for the thinnest and lightest flagship phones, Samsung may be gearing up for a big sweep. New leaks suggest that every Galaxy S26 model will be slimmer and lighter than its iPhone 17 counterpart.
Tipster @UniverseIce shared a comparison chart on X showing some surprisingly low numbers. According to the leak, the Galaxy S26 is expected to weigh 164 grams, the S26+ around 191 grams, and the S26 Ultra roughly 214 grams. That makes the standard S26 and the Ultra slightly lighter than their S25 equivalents, while the S26+ gains just a single gram, which is essentially negligible.
What’s more interesting is how these figures stack up against Apple’s upcoming lineup.
