Samsung Galaxy S26 Leak Details New Storage Plans
A fresh retail leak suggests a major shift for the upcoming Samsung flagship series. According to a Finnish retailer, the standard Samsung Galaxy S26 leak points toward the removal of the 128GB base model. The company plans to start the entry-level configuration at 256GB instead. This move aims to align the brand with other premium smartphone competitors in the global market.
Higher Base Storage for Standard Models
The listing from Finland indicates that the basic Galaxy S26 will offer 256GB and 512GB options. This change ends a long era of lower storage capacities for flagship devices. Expert insiders like Ice Universe previously shared similar predictions about this memory upgrade. However, some regions might still see the 128GB version depending on local market demand.

Full Lineup Memory Configurations
The leak also covers the Plus and Ultra variants of the new series. The Galaxy S26 Plus will likely mirror the standard model with 256GB and 512GB tiers. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra remains the powerhouse of the collection. It will offer 256GB, 512GB, and a massive 1TB storage option for professional users.
Color Options Revealed in Samsung Galaxy S26 Leak
Retailers in Finland expect four primary colors for all three upcoming models. Customers can choose between Black, White, Cobalt Violet, and Sky Blue finishes. Other reports suggest the Ultra model might feature exclusive premium colors. These include Silver Shadow and Pink Gold to distinguish the high-end device from the rest.
Catching Up With Flagship Competitors
Samsung currently remains one of the last brands offering 128GB in flagship phones. Most rivals transitioned to a 256GB minimum several years ago. By upgrading the base memory, Samsung ensures better performance for high-resolution photos and 8K videos. This strategy improves the overall value for consumers buying the base configuration.
