While rumors are still up in the air regarding a battery upgrade for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, new information has come out on the base Galaxy S26 “Pro” as well as the Galaxy S26 Edge, with both devices set to pack bigger batteries.

GalaxyClub reports that the Galaxy S26 “Pro” – the confusing new name for Samsung’s base model of the series – will have a battery likely to be rated at 4,175 mAh, but advertised at 4,300 mAh. In other words, a 300 mAh increase from the existing Galaxy S25 which has a 4,000 mAh battery.

Meanwhile, Galaxy S26 Edge would have a 4,200 mAh battery (rated 4,078 mAh), which is also a 300 mAh increase over the existing Galaxy S25 Edge.

Obviously, the latter is getting the bigger upgrade. The larger display of Samsung’s Edge device means that the lower capacity can’t stretch as far, so the 8%~ increase will be more than welcome. But, for both devices, this is good news.

The Galaxy S26 Edge is expected to replace the Galaxy S26+ in Samsung’s lineup. It has the same size and roughly the same price point, but battery life is certainly going to continue to be a trade-off for the thinner form factor. All three of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 devices are expected to launch in January.

Matt Ryan, the actor behind Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag’s main character Edward Kenway, recently told a fan that they might have a reason to replay the 2013 pirate game. The Constantine actor said this at a convention signing, and fans took this as a tease of a potential remake or remaster. However, it sounds like Ryan wasn’t in the clear to even say this much to a fan, as Ubisoft apparently threatened legal action against him after video of the interaction spread online.

TikTok user kylo_hd659 posted a video (that has since been deleted) of them meeting with Ryan at Comic Con Manchester at his signing table. When the topic of the Black Flag remaster came up, Ryan explained that he didn’t realize the previous interaction was being recorded, and now that it’s put him in hot water with Ubisoft, he’s keeping his mouth shut on the matter.

“The thing is, when that happened, someone was doing this and I was being very free and open and I didn’t know that they were actually recording me on their phone,” Ryan said. “Then the company threatened to sue me. So I say nothing.”

Ryan points to the camera during this back and forth, so it seems like he’s well aware of it this time. I guess that’s one way to get the word out for people to stop asking about something you aren’t supposed to be talking about. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment and will update the story if we hear back.

While Ryan hasn’t returned to Assassin’s Creed or video games since Black Flag, he’s spent much of the decade since playing John Constantine in several DC Comics projects, both in live-action shows like Legends of Tomorrow and in animated shows and movies. Hey James Gunn, if you’re gonna bring the warlock to the new DC Universe movies, you should bring Ryan back as a personal favor to me. Please, and thank you.
