Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks again with some fresh renders. These mockups are fan-made, likely based on the recently surfaced dummy images. The new renders shared by Android Headlines should give you a rough idea of the design changes coming to next year’s Ultra flagship device.
The source provides a fresh look at the S26 Ultra from multiple angles. We saw the current S25 Ultra move away from the boxy design, and its successor will take it a step further. More pronounced, rounded corners are the first thing you’ll notice in the new images.
Samsung may also change the camera design next year. The setup has Galaxy Z Fold 7’s facade and S25 Ultra’s internal hardware. It’s the same dual-bump design we are used to seeing on Samsung’s folding phones, except the Ultra has some additional sensors.
The lenses no longer sit on the back plate. They are separated from the chassis with a pill-shaped Island. Samsung plans to make the S26 Ultra thinner without compromising the sensor size, hence the dual-layer camera design.
The second telephoto and time-of-flight sensors are still isolated, sitting outside the island. According to hearsay, the Samsung new S model uses a smaller sensor on the second 3X telephoto lens, which could hurt its raw performance. But, knowing Samsung, they already have some software optimizations planned to compensate for it.
The rest of the camera hardware probably has minuscule upgrades. We’ll have a 50MP ultrawide shooter and a 200MP primary OIS camera. Right under the Main lens, the S26 Ultra will mount the same 5X periscope telephoto lens that came with the S25 Ultra.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC is already official, but Samsung will probably use an overclocked “For Galaxy” version of that chip. We hear an Exynos 2600 chip could be deployed in some global markets with the S26 series. The Ultra will keep the same 5000mAh battery as last time, but with a faster 60W charging.
