New leaks have revealed the likely lineup for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra colors, and it sounds pretty tame.
Leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks) posted the six-color lineup for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. Apparently, it’s set to include:
- Black
- White
- Silver Shadow
- Sky Blue
- Cobalt Violet
- Pink Gold
None of these sound particulalrly flashy, and they look pretty muted too.
Another leaker, Ice Universe, posted images of alleged Galaxy S26 Ultra SIM card trays – so there’s still a physical SIM, yay – with silver, black, light blue, and purple colors. The purple, presumably “Cobalt Violet,” is the most saturated hue of the bunch, but they’re all fairly muted. It’s worth noting that these four are probably the main colors Samsung will be selling, just based on the parts showing up this early, with the other three potentially limited to Samsung.com, but that’s an educated guess on our part.
It’s rather surprising Samsung didn’t go for something to stand out this year. The popularity of the “Cosmic Orange” iPhone 17 Pro was perfect inspiration, and it’s frankly shocking to see that Samsung didn’t just copy it entirely, as we’ve seen a few other Android brands do. Google Pixel has continued on its own path with fun colors – sadly, mainly on the base models – but it’s really rather surprising to see Samsung of all brands not following Apple’s lead here.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to debut in late February, following a big delay when the entire lineup was shaken up.
