The folks over at Android Headlines have published official renders and specifications of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the top model in Samsung's next premium flagship smartphone lineup.

With less than a month to go until Samsung’s Unpacked event, more detailed leaks like this were inevitable, and this is likely just the first of many. That said, none of the information revealed so far should come as much of a surprise at this point.

The renders show the phone in two colors: Cobalt Violet and black. The overall design looks very similar to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with the main differences being slightly more rounded corners and the presence of a camera island on the back instead of individual camera lenses.

The S26 Ultra measures 7.9mm in thickness, but images of the phone’s side profile suggest the visual difference compared to the 8.2mm-thick Galaxy S25 Ultra will be minimal. This is no Galaxy S25 Edge, or even a Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is just 8.9mm thick when folded.

As for the specs, this leak doesn’t reveal everything. What it does mention is a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, 256GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with reverse wireless charging support.

Also mentioned is a camera setup with a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, 5x and 3x telephoto lenses (50MP and 10MP, respectively), and a 12MP front-facing camera; a 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display; and Android 16 with One UI 8.5 on top.

Some of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s most exciting upgrades—such as 60W fast charging, 25W fast wireless charging, and a pixel-level privacy display—haven’t been confirmed by Android Headlines, though they arguably don’t need to be.

Samsung itself has already confirmed that the privacy display will be a key highlight, while 60W charging has been backed by earlier leaks. We at SamMobile leaked images of Samsung’s new 25W wireless charger, which is about as good an indication as any that a wireless charging upgrade is on the cards.

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup on February 25. The company will also unveil the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro premium wireless earbuds at the event.
