Recent reports provide further visual representations of the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Following initial Computer-Aided Design (CAD) renders and subsequent depictions in an updated color scheme, the device has now been visualized within a protective case.
This latest iteration, showcased within a case, reinforces the design elements previously revealed. Notably, the camera island configuration continues to feature prominently.
The render highlights a modified camera island, wherein the three primary camera sensors are integrated into a raised, oval-shaped module. This design paradigm represents a shift in Samsung’s aesthetic, gradually implemented across its product line over the past year, beginning with entry-level devices.
Initially, this design evolution suggested a distinction between Samsung’s flagship and more affordable models. However, current trends indicate a broader adoption of this design language throughout the entire smartphone portfolio.
Preliminary specifications suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 System-on-Chip (SoC). The global availability of the Snapdragon variant, or a complementary Exynos 2600 configuration for certain markets, is yet to be definitively confirmed. Furthermore, the entry-level S26 Pro is anticipated to utilize the Exynos processor, based on recently disclosed information. Reports also suggest the potential cancellation of the S26 Edge model.
