Source: samsung.com (verified 2026-07-08) · corroborated by att.com. Adversarially re-verified against the re-fetched Samsung US product page (source) and AT&T spec sheet (corroboration). Samsung's page confirmed the 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, 200 MP Wide main camera, 5000 mAh typical battery, IP68 rating, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, and Super Fast Charging 3.0 raising wired power "from 45 W to 60 W" (charge_w=60). AT&T confirmed the same chipset, 12GB base RAM ("12GB | 16GB"), 256GB base storage ("256GB | 512GB | 1TB"), Android 16, the 5G bands (fiveg=true), and the $1299.99 retail price for the 256GB config. refresh_hz kept null — no numeric refresh rate appears on either fetched page. weight_g nulled: only "7.55 oz" is stated (AT&T); no gram figure appears verbatim on either page, and oz-to-g is a conversion rather than unit formatting. releaseDate nulled: neither fetched page states a release date; the sole "March 2026" on Samsung's page is "As of March 2026, Galaxy AI's Photo Assist and Creative Studio support 41 languages" (an AI language-support date, not a release), and the T-Mobile page cited in the prior provenance was not among the two fetched URLs. Exact model (Galaxy S26 Ultra, 256GB/12GB base tier) confirmed on both pages; 11 of 13 spec keys survived, so publish=true.
