While the Galaxy S26 Edge's camera island is not a direct copy of Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series, people may inevitably compare the two.
Reading time: 2 minutes
Samsung’s next lineup of non-foldable flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S26 series, is expected to have three devices: Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Yesterday, we saw an image of alleged dummy units of the three phones. It not only revealed that these phones will bring back the camera island but also that the Edge model's design looks similar to that of Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series.
If you were wondering how the Galaxy S26 Edge will look with its massive camera island, something that we haven't seen on Samsung's phones before, today is the day for you as we now have high-quality renders of the phone, showing the phone from all the angles.
Android Headlines and OnLeaks have revealed CAD renders of the Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Edge. These images show the phone from all the angles.
The first thing you will notice is that the rear of the phone has a camera island that stretches from the left to the right edge of the device. It is significantly different from the camera island on Samsung’s previous phones. Although it is not a direct copy of the camera island on Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series, people may inevitably compare the two. The camera island has two cameras and an LED flash.
The Galaxy S26 Edge has rounded corners, flat sides, and a display with thin bezels and a punch-hole for the selfie camera, just like its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Edge, and the other two phones in the lineup, the Galaxy S26 Pro and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The renders show the phone in white color, suggesting that it could be one of the color options Samsung may offer.
