Last week, official-looking renders of the Galaxy S26 lineup surfaced online, showcasing the phones from multiple angles. Now, official accessories for the series have leaked, along with the S Pen for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
According to the leak, the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s S Pen will be offered only in black and white shades. However, the stylus’s clickable end will match the phone’s color variant.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to be available in Black, Cobalt Violet, Sky Blue, and White colors, along with more options that could be exclusively sold online.

Apple's iPhone Fold is coming out later this year, the rumor consensus agrees. The device will have a very different form factor to what we've seen in the Android world, and according to a new rumor from China today, it will also come with the biggest battery Apple has ever put in a smartphone.
Back in November, a rumor claimed it would be between 5,400 mAh and 5,800 mAh, and today's rumor says it will be 5,500 mAh after all. If true, that isn't just the biggest battery ever seen in an iPhone, but it's almost 10% bigger than the biggest so far - which is the one in the eSIM-only iPhone 17...

The REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G Series reflects this shift clearly, placing renewed emphasis on sensor capability and optical fundamentals rather than relying solely on software to define image quality.
At the heart of this approach is the 200MasterPixel camera system, which is...

Another price-related leak about the upcoming Galaxy S26 series came in today and it contradicts the rather suspicious previous one. According to industry sources talking to Tech Maniacs, the pricing of all three models will remain virtually unchanged.
The report based on insider source close to Samsung reveals that the Galaxy S26 Ultra's base price will remain the same. Some small price hikes for the upper storage variants are possible due to the increased memory prices lately. Still, the overall price will remain more or less unchanged.
The vanilla Galaxy S26's base variant might...
Last week, a retailer listing from Germany revealed how much the Xiaomi 17 will cost in the country once it officially launches, and also how much smaller its battery will be compared to China.

The US-bound Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra, SM-S942U and SM-S948U, respectively, passed through Geekbench recently with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets. Now the SM-S942N, which is the South Korean S26, also ran the benchmark.

Premium phones accounted for 22% of the total number of units shipped. Roughly put, that’s 1 in 5 phones.
This benefited brands focused on pricier models like Apple. While its overall share was pretty low, the iPhone 16 ended the year as the most-shipped individual model for 2025. Also, Apple...
