Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra was showcased in some CAD-based renders late last month, then we saw it in a very iPhone-esque colorway last week, and now it’s time to take another look at it, this time inside a case.
other A case, to be exact, as we’ve seen it in a few other cases a while back. The camera island redesign is still present, as you’d expect.
The three camera sensors on the left side of the phone are now part of a raised oval island, and not just individual circles. This design is one that Samsung has gradually moved towards over the past year, starting with its low-end phones.
We initially thought it was meant to differentiate its flagships, with individual camera circle-islands, from its cheaper offerings, but apparently not – the company is just moving towards this design across its entire smartphone portfolio, it seems.
The S26 Ultra should use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, although it remains to be seen if that will be the case globally, complemented by the Exynos 2600 in some markets. The entry-level S26 Pro definitely seems to be playing the Exynos game, according to the most recent leaks, and the S26 Edge may have just been cancelled.
