Samsung models Galaxy The S26 is one of the most anticipated premium phones of next year. But right now, there are a lot of phones that have been released or will be released in China that are giving Samsung a lot of trouble. And since they will only be launched globally gradually, they will become direct competitors for Galaxy S26 UltraAnd that's not good news for Samsung.
While Chinese manufacturers are on a roll, Samsung has been struggling in recent weeks. Its ultrathin mobile phone Galaxy s25 edge is not doing too well and sales are reportedly so poor that development of its successor is being halted Galaxy S26 Edge. Model Galaxy S26 +, which, on the contrary, should not have been created at all and should have been replaced by a thin varianto, is coming back into play. But Samsung is just getting ready to produce their chips, which are supposed to be Exynos 2600, so the expected January launch will probably be delayed. And we may not see them until March.
Additionally, it is speculated that the next generation of Samsung flagship phones it won't be revolutionary and compared to the series Galaxy The S25 will only receive minor improvements. Which is not good news for users. Many Samsung fans may start looking at the competition's offerings. On the one hand, there is iPhone 17 Pro a iPhone 17 Pro Max, on the other hand, there are mobile phones from China. And they are increasingly sophisticated, with high performance and extremely good durability.
For example OnePlus 15, which will be released in China at the end of October and will be released worldwide in November, will have 7mAh battery, 120W charging with cable and 50W wireless charging. It will also offer 165Hz refresh rate and therefore a very smooth display. These are all parameters that Samsung cares about Galaxy S26 Ultra may notchat just dream

It will also face strong competition in the form of Vivo X300 Pro, which will be globally introduced soon 30th of OctoberIn addition to high performance, it boasts a long battery life (although the battery capacity will probably be lower at 6,510mAh in the Chinese version). But Samsung will have its worries about the cameras Vivo X300 Pro: 50 Mpx main sensor with CIPA 5.5 optical stabilization and f/1.57 aperture, 200 Mpx periscopic telephoto lens ISOCELL HPB with CIPA 5.5, 1/1.4” size, 3,7x optical zoom, wide-angle camera ISOCELL with 50Mpx resolution and a 50Mpx selfie camera. Samsung will probably use 200 MP main sensor, but with other parameters it will probably not be enough.
For the third time, it is here. Xiaomi 17 Pro a Xiaomi 17 Pro, which will hurt Samsung's sales in China. Both flagships have a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a rear display, a triple rear camera with a resolution of 50 MP and an identical front camera.
Samsung will have a very difficult time next year. And even though its mobile phones are among the best-selling worldwide, this year Chinese manufacturers were not afraid to innovate. And they intend to fight Samsung hard for users.
