We say goodbye to October and welcome November with a nice roundup of rumors involving some of the most anticipated smartphones of 2026: the Samsung Galaxy S26the mid-range Samsung Galaxy A57 and the foldable book OPPO Find N6.

Samsung has been working on its flagships for some time, of which new rumors emerge on the photographic sector, SoC, display and batteries, but also on the next “top” of the mid-range. In parallel, OPPO is developing the new foldable book which aims to be even thinner than its predecessor, even less thick than a traditional flagship.

The rumors paint OPPO Find N6 thinner than the “Ultra” flagships

Let’s start from OPPO Find N6the successor to OPPO Find N5, because the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station shared some details on Weibo about the Chinese manufacturer’s next foldable book which will revolve around the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 by Qualcomm.

In his post, the leaker suggests that the smartphone will be “thinner and lighter than an Ultra smartphone”: it is not clear whether he is referring to the Find X8 Ultra or the new Find X9 Ultra; if it refers to the first, Find N6 it will be thinner than 8.8mm when closed and will weigh less than 226 grams. This seems far from impossible if we consider that the Find N5 is 8.9 mm thick when closed and weighs 229 grams.

Going further, the smartphone is expected to have an internal display from 8.1 inchesan external display from 6.6 inches and integrate a battery from 6,000 mAhexcellent capacity considering the reduced thickness (and low weight). The leaker also suggests possible high water resistance and support for wireless charging. The fingerprint reader, however, will remain located on the on/off button.

On the back, OPPO Find N6 could make available to users a triple photographic compartment with main sensor Sony LYT-808 from 1/1.4″ and resolution 50 megapixelsperiscope telephoto lens from 50 megapixels for 3x optical zoom and an unspecified ultra-wide-angle sensor (hopefully better than the 8-megapixel sensor found on the Find N5).

Samsung Galaxy S26: the series is the protagonist of new rumors

Let’s now move to Samsung to deal with the models that will make up the range Galaxy S26. The rumors that have leaked so far are numerous and have often been conflicting, a sign that the South Korean giant is trying to carefully evaluate how to articulate the range.

Upheavals or not, the range should ultimately be made up of four models: Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, Galaxy S26 Ultra and a fourth model that should take the place of the Galaxy S26 Edge (after the poor sales results obtained by the S25 Edge).

Last October 30, when announcing its third quarter 2025 financial results, Samsung confirmed that its main 2026 flagship models will use an Exynos SoC and new photo sensors designed to improve sharpness, color rendering and performance in harsh conditions.

Although there is no precise indication, we are talking about the SoC Exynos 2600 which will give life to a new Exynos/Snapdragon dualism alternating (depending on the market) with lo Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Photographic sector: finally a telephoto lens worthy of the name?

Going further, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy S26 can get updates to some sensors in the photographic sector: this is suggested by the so-called “Full Specs Leak” of the models in the range, shared on Telegram by the Alchimist Leaks channel.

According to this leak, the Galaxy S26 range will receive a new telephoto lens for 3x optical zoom: we are talking about a sensor from 1/2.55″ with resolution 12 megapixelsdecidedly larger than the “old” sensor from 10 megapixels that Samsung’s flagships have been dragging on for some time. On the Ultra model, the sensor could be even larger or have resolution from 50 megapixels.

The leaker also suggests that all models will be able to count on a updated main sensoreven if equipped with the same resolution as the counterpart present on the 2025 models (therefore 200 megapixels on the Ultra model and 50 megapixels on the two “base” models).

The ultra-wide sensor will be updated across the entire range: on the Ultra model it will maintain the 50 megapixel resolution; the same sensor should also arrive on the other models, (finally) retiring the old 12 megapixel sensor.

The key specifications of the entire range

The aforementioned leak doesn’t just include the specs of the models whose existence it appears to exist certified but also the specifications of the models that appear to have been cancelled/replaced with something different, specifically an even slimmer model (hereinafter referred to as “Slim”). We also have details on the display, SoC and batteries (which become more capacious than in the past).

New confirmations: Samsung Galaxy A57 “exists” and is already being tested

Let’s close this roundup of rumors by remaining at Samsung but moving to the “heart” of the South Korean giant’s range. We had already heard about the work underway for the development of Samsung Galaxy A57 and new confirmations have recently emerged in this regard.

According to what was shared by a user on X, the smartphone is already “present” in Samsung’s test servers with the model code SM-A576B (corresponding to the version intended for our market, indicated with EUX) and the firmware A576BXXU0AYJ7 discovered last October 29th.

The beating heart of the smartphone will almost certainly be theExynos 1680SoC whose code name is “Terra” (according to rumors that emerged last May) and which should guarantee superior performance compared to the previous generation model, even if the first benchmarks don’t seem exactly exciting (via Sammobile).

No other indications have emerged about the potential of this smartphone but, considering what the South Korean giant has done so far, it is reasonable to expect a presentation at the beginning of spring 2026.
