Samsung is supposed to debut the next-generation Galaxy S26 series in early 2026, which is now anticipated to deliver improved battery performance than predecessor.
Ritually, Samsung debuts the latest Galaxy S-series each year, sometime between late January and February: for instance, this year it debuted the Galaxy S25 series, and will introduce the Galaxy S26 series in early next year.
Usually, the company introduces three models under the Galaxy S series, including Base, Plus, and Ultra, but that could not be the case for the next-generation Galaxy S26 series, as it could have four models. If the leaked reports are to be believed, the company could introduce four models together, including Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, Galaxy S26 Ultra, and Galaxy S26 Edge, or replace the Plus model with the Edge.
Meanwhile, a new report revealed that the Galaxy S26 may feature an advanced EMC stands for Epoxy Molding Compound, battery protection circuit that will prevent the battery from overcharging, overdischarging, and other issues. This new integration will uses EMC, a special silica-based coating that delivers electromagnetic wave blocking waterproofing functions, which will be efficient for internal heat generation.
Reportedly, Samsung is looking forward to integrating an EMC battery protection circuit into its upcoming Galaxy S26 series. It will mount the circuit outside the battery cell and build it with different semiconductors and printed circuit boards.
Samsung has already issued a purchase order with ITM Semiconductor for EMC battery protection circuits based on the PMP (Protection Module Package) design. This new design also includes PCM (Protection Circuit Module) in a compact semiconductor package. If the report comes true, then this will help the company to reduce heat generation by up to 24% compared to PCM designs.
