JAKARTA - The Samsung Galaxy S26 has not yet been launched, but there have been many rumors circulating. Even the latest reports show that this phone will be thinner, brighter, and more efficient.

Based on a report from Korean media The Elec, quoted by the Android Authority, said that Samsung plans to implement Color-filter-on-thin-film-encapsulation (CoE) technology on the Galaxy S26 Ultra which will be released in 2026.

CoE is a technology used in OLED screens to integrate color filter layers directly above the thin encapsulation layer (thin-film encapsulation), to improve screen efficiency and quality.

In fact, Samsung has been using this CoE technology on their foldable devices since the Galaxy Z Fold 3, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which was released last year. However, they will also use it back to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

With this technology, Samsung seems to be trying to make the phone thinner without compromising the quality of its appearance, and being able to compete with Apple's reported products such as the iPhone 17 Air.

Previously, it was also reported that Samsung was testing a new design for the Galaxy S26 with limited production on the Galaxy S25 Slim. This could mean that the design of the Galaxy S25 Slim will be the first step towards major changes to the Galaxy S series in the future.
