TL;DR
- Early benchmarks claiming to compare the Galaxy S26 and S26 Ultra have appeared online.
- The Snapdragon-powered Ultra appears to lead Samsung’s Exynos model in single-core performance.
- Multi-core scores are much closer, and we’re taking these pre-release benchmarks with a pinch of salt.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 launch is a matter of days away, and we already knew the Ultra would use a Qualcomm processor, while the regular S26 models would rely on Samsung’s Exynos chip. If a new report is accurate, we now have a clearer picture of how those chips might compare, with early benchmarks between the standard model Galaxy S26 and the Ultra.
