We may be getting our first unofficial glimpse of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. New concept renders that offer an early look at what could be the next Ultra flagship from the brand have surfaced online. While these renders aren’t official, they do hint at possible design tweaks and hardware upgrades for the upcoming model.

Galaxy S26 Ultra – Is Samsung Refreshing Design?

The render, shared online by well-known tipster Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter), showcases the rear design of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Although the layout remains familiar, the main, ultra-wide and periscope telephoto cameras are now housed in a slightly raised, oval-shaped module.

This design is reminiscent of what we’ve seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25 Edge.

Ice Universe mentioned in the post that it’s unclear whether this is the final design, but there’s a “pretty high chance” that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could resemble this concept. The raised camera module might allow Samsung to include a larger main sensor and a new telephoto lens, while still making the phone slimmer overall.

The thicker bump could simply provide the needed room for upgraded camera hardware.

Galaxy S26 Ultra – Expected Specs and Features

As per early leaks, the Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature a new HP2+ main camera with a larger sensor size and wider aperture, aimed at boosting photography performance. The phone is likely to retain its 5,000mAh battery, but the charging speed could increase to 65W.

It’s also expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, while the base Galaxy S26 model might run on Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600 SoC.
