Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus Malaysia release - Exynos 2600 SoC, 6.7-inch QHD+ screen, 4900mAh battery and more from RM6199
Besides the Samsung Galaxy S26, the Plus variant also managed to make its way to Malaysia. That said, what should you know about it?
A slight improvement in size and screen display
Like the base variant, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus features the Exynos 2600 SoC with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. It also runs OneUI 8.5 (Android 16). Display-wise, it sports a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate (1~120Hz) Vision booster.
Moreover, this phone houses a 4900mAh battery with 45W wired charging, Super Fast Wireless Charging, and the Wireless Powershare feature. That means it can take the battery up to 69% charge in around 30 mins.
Camera-wise, it features the same specs as the base model. This phone’s camera configuration consists of a triple 50MP primary camera with 12MP Ultra-Wide camera with F2.2 and a 10MP Telephoto camera. It is also worth noting that Optical quality zoom is enabled by the Adaptive Pixel sensor. 3x distance is optical zoom. 2x distance is optical quality zoom. It also runs a 12MP camera with F2.2 aperture.
To recap, the Galaxy S26 series arrives with multiple new updates. One of it being AI-powered Call Screening which identifies unknown callers and summarises intent, making it easier to safely manage calls. Privacy Alerts use machine learning to proactively notify you in real time when apps with device admin privileges unnecessarily attempt to access sensitive data, such as precise location, call logs or contacts.
Moreover, Samsung introduced Private Album, a feature which lets you hide selected photos and videos without creating a separate folder or signing into a Samsung Account. New updates to Knox Matrix further strengthen protection across connected Galaxy devices. That includes PQC-enabled end-to-end encryption for more services such as eSIM transfer and clearer visibility into firmware update status across the ecosystem through Security Status of Your Devices.
Interestingly, the Galaxy S26 Plus runs 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi Direct, and Bluetooth® v 6.0. This is a slight upgrade to the base model. It is also rated IP68 for water resistance. This phone is also available in 4 colourways - Cobalt Violet, White, Black, Sky Blue.
