The Galaxy S26 Ultra is getting its fair share of leaks right before launch, as is the custom. The latest renders are 360-degree views of Samsung’s premium flagship.
As far as leaks go, this isn’t the first we’ve seen of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. There’s a good amount we can guess about the most expensive S26 mode. For one, it might not come with a price increase, unlike other models. Further rumors note the devices will not come with Qi2 magnets, to our dismay.
Beyond those internal details, more leaked renders are appearing. The latest from Evan Blass depicts the Galaxy S26 Ultra in a 360-degree spin. The original leak was posted as a GIF, though it appears to have been removed from Twitter/X, though it seems to still be available through Evan’s leakmail. Prior to that, we took some of the stills and made a sort of flip-book with frames of the phone.
One of the only outward-facing changes materializes in the camera array design. Instead of individual protruding lenses, there is a small island buffer between lenses and the rear panel of the phone.
This generally comes from the need to make the device thinner without sacrificing camera internals. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is supposed to be the most capable of Samsung’s S lineup for most tasks, and especially photos. Making the camera unit smaller would likely make it less capable.
Since the Galaxy S26 Ultra is reportedly thinner, this is likely why the camera now has a protruding island.
Samsung is reportedly gearing up for a late February launch, where the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra will launch. All except the S26 Ultra are rumored to get a price hike, as odd as that sounds.
