Galaxy S26 Ultra hero color will be less bold, more beautiful

There has been some speculation about the color options Samsung will offer for the Galaxy S26 series, particularly the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

A new leak highlights at least some of the colors that will be available for the device, while also highlighting what may end up being the hero color for the device.

The hero color is one that's mainly used in all marketing materials for the device. Samsung picks one every year for its flagship and then runs with it.

Earlier reports had suggested that Samsung will offer a rather bold orange color for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, not unlike what Apple is offering for its latest iPhone. A recent leak about the colors for the Galaxy S26 series didn't reveal the orange, though.

Another X leakster has now claimed that Violet will be the hero color for the device. It's more dainty and beautiful than bold, perhaps Samsung feels it will resonate with more customers.

The leakster claims that orange isn't among the primary colors, so it's possible that Samsung may keep it limited. It's entirely possible that orange is offered as a Samsung.com exclusive.

Some other details about the device have been mentioned in the post as well, but they've already been going around for some time. This includes the 4,300mAh battery for the base Galaxy S26, 45W charging and 4,900mAh battery on the Galaxy S26+, and the familiar 5,000mAh battery for the Galaxy S26 Ultra but with 60W fast charging this time around.
