Samsung first revealed the Ultra model of its Galaxy S smartphone series back in 2020, while at the same time dropping the popular Note branding from the lineup. The first handset with the new naming scheme was known as the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and although the South Korean tech giant has released several updated versions of the device in the years that followed, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to be the final smartphone to carry the designation.

The reliable tech news source Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) has hinted that Samsung is considering renaming two phones in the Galaxy S series, beginning with the models to be released in 2026. In a post on X, Brar suggested that the Galaxy Ultra may get a rebrand as the Galaxy Note, while the “Plus” model will be renamed as the Pro.

According to the tech tipster, the transition (and return) to the Note and Pro naming scheme has already been finalized by Samsung. The company will likely launch the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Pro, and Galaxy S26 Note models in 2026. The change to Pro branding indicates that this smartphone variant may offer enhancements over the standard Galaxy S26 model, including a bigger display, improved camera, and boosted battery capacity.

It’s always advisable to approach tech leaks and rumors with skepticism, especially when they mention models that won’t be released until early 2026. Meanwhile, as we get closer to Q4 2024, the South Korean smartphone producer is reading the latest Galaxy lineup — the S25 — which is reported to be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset or Samsung’s own Exynos 2500 SoC.
