Belkin beats Samsung to market with S26 accessories (again)

Belkin has launched seven new accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, with prices starting from Dhs 99 in UAE. All products carry 'Designed for Samsung' certification and are optimised for the S26's ultrasonic fingerprint sensors and Privacy Display technology.

What makes these accessories 'Designed for Samsung'?

All seven accessories meet Samsung Mobile Accessory Partnership Program (SMAPP) standards for performance, safety, and compatibility. This certification means they're tested specifically with Galaxy S26 hardware, not just generic Android devices.

The key difference is the compatibility with ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. Many third-party screen protectors interfere with Samsung's under-display sensors, but Belkin's Titan EcoGuard and SmartShield collections are engineered to work seamlessly with the S26's biometric security.

Each product also supports Qi2 25W wireless charging — double the speed of standard Qi chargers. This matters because Samsung finally adopted the Qi2 standard with the S26 series.

SHEERFORCE cases: Military-grade protection from Dhs 99

Belkin's SHEERFORCE collection offers two case options, both priced at Dhs 99. The Clear variant preserves the Galaxy S26's design with an anti-yellowing coating, while the Protect model adds rugged double-layer construction.

Both cases feature 13ft (4m) drop protection — that's military-grade MIL-STD-810G testing. Nano-Titan Technology handles shock absorption and heat dissipation, addressing the S26's thermal management needs during intensive tasks.

Key features:

• 13ft drop protection with Nano-Titan Technology
• Qi2 25W wireless charging compatibility
• Raised edges for camera and screen protection
• Built-in lanyard attachment
• 75% recyclable materials
• 2-year warranty

The Protect variant comes in black, navy, and lavender colours with textured grip surfaces and reinforced button covers.

Which screen protector should you choose?

Belkin offers two screen protection technologies: Titan EcoGuard (polymer-based) and Titan SmartShield (tempered glass). Both cost Dhs 99 and work with the Galaxy S26's ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

Titan EcoGuard uses a flexible polymer construction that absorbs impact rather than shattering. It's made from 97% post-consumer recycled materials and offers 7H scratch resistance with 5.9ft drop protection.

You get three variants: Anti-Reflective, Privacy Filter, and Red Light Filter.

Titan SmartShield provides rigid glass protection with 9H surface hardness and 6.5ft drop protection. It's manufactured with 60% recycled materials and includes anti-dust adhesive for bubble-free installation.

The choice comes down to preference: flexible protection that won't crack (EcoGuard) versus traditional glass feel (SmartShield).

UltraCharge dock: Three-device wireless charging for Dhs 199

The UltraCharge Modular Charging Dock charges your Galaxy S26, earbuds, and smartwatch simultaneously using Qi2 25W power delivery. At Dhs 199, it's positioned as a premium multi-device solution.

The 'bring-your-own-puck' design lets you use Samsung's Galaxy Watch charger with the dock's collapsible spring-latch holder. This matters because Belkin doesn't make Galaxy Watch chargers — you need Samsung's proprietary puck.

Case compatibility extends up to 3mm thickness, covering most protective cases. The nonslip silicone base and soft-touch materials prevent scratching your devices during charging.

For context, Samsung's official Trio charger costs around Dhs 300, making Belkin's dock competitively priced for multi-device charging needs.

Should you buy Belkin's Galaxy S26 accessories?

Based on Belkin's track record with Samsung partnerships, these accessories offer solid value for S26 owners. The 'Designed for Samsung' certification eliminates compatibility concerns, particularly for fingerprint sensor functionality.

The cases at Dhs 99 are reasonably priced for military-grade protection, though Samsung's own cases typically offer more colour options. Screen protectors at the same price point compete well with premium brands like Zagg and Spigen.

The UltraCharge dock at Dhs 199 makes sense if you own multiple Samsung devices and want consolidated charging.

However, individual wireless chargers might be more cost-effective for single-device needs.

All products come with 2-year warranties and are available immediately — something Samsung's official accessories often can't match at launch.
