Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Leak Hints at Bigger, Curvier Design Ahead of 2026 Launch

Samsung has only just introduced the Galaxy S25 FE, but attention is already shifting toward its next flagship. Fresh leaks suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is set for a January 2026 launch, with early renders pointing to some design refinements for the Ultra model.

According to well-known tipster @UniverseIce, an unofficial render comparing the Galaxy S26 Ultra with the Galaxy S25 Ultra reveals slightly altered dimensions. The S25 Ultra measures 162.8 x 77.6mm, while the S26 Ultra reportedly comes in at 163.4 x 77.9mm. This indicates that the new model could be marginally taller and wider, though the difference may not be easily noticeable in hand.

The leaked images also display dummy models in beige with varying camera layouts, including vertical circular lenses, a combination of circular and rectangular modules, and a triangular lens arrangement.

One of the most notable visual changes could be the extra curvature at the corners, suggesting a shift away from the boxier style of past Ultra devices. This tweak, however, raises speculation over whether there will still be sufficient space to accommodate the S Pen slot.

While these leaks remain unconfirmed, industry watchers believe Samsung will stick to its January 2026 release cycle. Alongside the S26 series, reports indicate that Samsung’s long-awaited tri-fold device could also be unveiled, expanding the company’s foldable lineup.
