samsung galaxy s26 ultra leaks point to february 2026 reveal

Samsung’s next flagship is starting to surface, and the picture so far points to refinement rather than a reset. Leaks tied to the Galaxy S26 Ultra suggest a cleaner exterior, subtle hardware bumps, and a launch timeline that closely follows Samsung’s recent playbook.

One of the more telling sightings appears to have come from Samsung’s own software. Screens found inside the Tips app on One UI 8.5 show what looks like the Galaxy S26 Ultra being used to demonstrate a new Privacy Display feature. Samsung has not commented, but the device shown matches leaked renders that have been circulating among tipsters.

The design changes are restrained: Corners look more rounded, easing away from the boxier feel of the S25 Ultra, while the display bezels appear slightly thinner. The punch-hole camera at the front is marginally larger, hinting at upgrades to the selfie camera or video capture.

The frame also stays conservative: Buttons sit where Galaxy users expect them, with volume controls and a multifunction side key on the right and an unbroken left edge. The bottom houses the USB-C port, SIM tray, and speaker grille. No surprises.

The back is where Samsung makes its clearest visual move: The S26 Ultra is tipped to drop the individual “floating” lenses in favor of a unified camera island. Three main lenses sit inside a raised module, while an extra sensor and the LED flash are set flush with the rear panel. The headline camera is expected to remain a 200-megapixel shooter, backed by multiple telephoto options.

On the inside, leaks point to Qualcomm’s next top-tier chipset, up to 16GB of RAM, and storage options running as high as 1TB. Battery capacity is said to hold at 5,000mAh, but wired charging could climb to 60W, a welcome step as rivals push faster charging across the Middle East and Asia.

Timing is also firming up. South Korean media reports shared by tipster UniverseIce suggest Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup on February 25 in San Francisco, with sales following in early March. The schedule lines up with earlier chatter and keeps Samsung ahead of the spring launch rush.

Abu Dhabi’s Robot Kitchen Is Serving Up Biryani, Not Burgers

Circus SE wants to put a tiny automated factory inside the buildings where Gulf residents live and work, bypassing part of last-mile delivery.

The most telling thing about a new autonomous kitchen now running in Abu Dhabi’s Marina Square is what it won’t cook:

“We don’t do fast food,” says Nikolas Bullwinkel, Founder and CEO of Circus SE. “We’ve actively decided not to build a machine that can only do burgers”.

Instead, the CA-1 system is built around pot-based cooking: curries, pastas, soups and rice dishes. After experimenting with highly personalized recipes, Circus deliberately leaned back toward recognizable food. “We’re going with a chicken biryani because you know it,” Bullwinkel says of the AED 40 dish.

The Germany-based robotics and food technology company operates across eight countries, and Abu Dhabi is its first deployment outside Europe. More locations are expected there and in Dubai.

In Germany, its units can be placed in supermarkets, gas stations, airports and hospitals. In the Gulf, Bullwinkel wants them inside residential and office buildings, replacing some of the complexity of last-mile delivery. “We’re basically bringing a very tiny factory a few square meters into your building,” he says. Catering company Royal Prestige supplies the ingredients and knowledge of local tastes.

The CA-1 manages up to 36 refrigerated ingredient silos alongside automated induction cooking, robotic plating and a self-cleaning dishwasher. Two robotic arms move ingredients through the system with minimal human intervention. It can produce up to 120 hot meals an hour, and a meal such as rice and curry can take around three to four minutes.

Five cameras and multiple sensors monitor heat, temperature and consistency, an attempt to approximate what a chef perceives. “You can hear something gets burned, you can smell it, you can see it at some point,” Bullwinkel says. CircusOS, the company’s operating system, adjusts recipes in real time.

You might think of the platform as a threat to kitchen staff, but Bullwinkel frames Circus as a way for chefs to develop recipes and distribute them at scale. With that being said, rising labor costs and shortages are also part of his case for automation.
