Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones, the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Pro, are still months away from launch, but leaked images have given fans a sneak peek at their new designs. These images, shared by Smartprix and tipster @UniverseIce, show small but noticeable updates to the look of both phones, expected to arrive in early 2026.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly rounder shape compared to the sharper edges of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Its camera setup now sits on a raised island with four lenses, including a periscope zoom lens at the bottom.
The phone is thinner, measuring about 7.8mm, down from 8.2mm, making it sleeker and easier to hold. It also keeps a large 6.9-inch screen with improved anti-reflective glass for clearer viewing.
The Galaxy S26 Pro also gets a raised camera island with three lenses, each with a metal ring around it, and a flash on the right. It’s even thinner at 6.7mm, compared to 7.2mm for the Galaxy S25, and has a 6.27-inch screen with slimmer edges for a more modern look.
The Pro replaces the standard Galaxy S25 model, as Samsung is changing its lineup by dropping the Plus model and adding a new Galaxy S26 Edge.
Both phones will support Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets, similar to newer iPhones. The Galaxy S26 Pro may use Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip or Qualcomm’s next Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the Ultra is expected to stick with the Snapdragon.
The Ultra could have a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP periscope zoom, plus a 5,000mAh battery with faster 60W charging. The Pro might come with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 4,300mAh battery with 45W charging.
These design changes give both phones a fresh, stylish look while keeping familiar features. The raised camera islands match the style of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, showing a consistent design across their devices.
Fans are excited, but since these are early leaks based on CAD models, the final phones might look slightly different.
Samsung hasn’t shared official details yet, but the Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in January or February 2026. For now, these renders give a glimpse of what’s coming in Samsung’s next big phones.
