Ahead of the anticipated unveiling, renders and specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ have leaked online, while details surrounding the Galaxy S26 Ultra continue to intensify. Fresh leaks now include official-looking renders, a promotional image, and key hardware specifications of the Ultra model, offering a clearer picture of Samsung’s upcoming flagship lineup. Here’s a roundup of all the recently leaked information.
Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ Renders Leak
According to a report by Android Headlines, renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ reveal a familiar design language with subtle refinements. Both smartphones appear largely similar to their predecessors, except for a redesigned camera module.
Unlike the Galaxy S25 series, where the triple rear cameras sat flush with the back panel, the Galaxy S26 lineup is tipped to feature a raised camera island, resembling the design seen on the Galaxy S25 Edge.
The leaked renders suggest that both the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ could sport narrow, uniform bezels along with a centrally positioned hole-punch cutout for the front camera.
Galaxy S26 Ultra Official Renders and Promo Image Leaks
Leaks surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have gained momentum with Android Headlines sharing official-looking renders and specifications.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra can be seen a flat design with slimmer, symmetrical bezels around a large display. The leaked visuals show the phone in Cobalt Violet and Black colour options, offering what appears to be the final retail design.
The front features a centred hole-punch camera, while the flat frame with softly rounded corners gives the phone a more refined and balanced look compared to its predecessor.
On the rear, Samsung appears to have shifted from individually protruding camera lenses to a unified camera island positioned in the top-left corner. While the module still protrudes, it looks more structured and polished. The presence of the S Pen is clearly visible, reaffirming Samsung’s continued focus on stylus support for the Ultra lineup. Additional colour variants are expected at launch, although only two have surfaced so far.
