Is the Galaxy S26 Ultra Stuck in the Past?
As rumors swirl around the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, one particular detail has caught the attention of tech enthusiasts - the battery capacity. For the seventh year in a row, Samsung seems to be sticking with a 5,000 mAh battery for its flagship Ultra model. This raises questions about innovation and progress in the highly competitive smartphone market.

With competitors offering larger battery capacities in their flagship models, Samsung's decision to stick with the same capacity raises concerns. The tech community is left wondering if Samsung is falling behind in terms of innovation and whether consumers are being shortchanged with each new iteration of the Ultra series.
