- New leaks about the Galaxy S26 Ultra have appeared
- They cover cameras, colors and the built-in stylus.
- The launch could take place in February
We expect three Galaxy S26 phones to debut. in Februaryand also fresh leaks appeared about the colors, materials and design of the most expensive and premium trio: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
These leaks come from a seasoned tipster. @UniverseIceand perhaps the most important of them concerns flowers we can expect from Galaxy S26 Ultra. These colors will obviously be Black Shadow, White Shadow, Galactial Blue and Ultravioiet.
There are some similarities here with the color leaks we've seen. heard beforealthough nothing is certain until Samsung makes an official announcement. It's possible that additional exclusive shades will also be available on Samsung's website.
As the tipster notes, none of these color names contain the word “titanium”, potentially indicating a change in materials from Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Titanium is very durable, but it is also expensive, and perhaps Samsung wants to cut costs.
More curved S Pen
It looks like the details of the Galaxy S26 Ultra rendering I showed a few months ago were correct. Samsung has adopted an asymmetrical arched S Pen pic.twitter.com/dUzkFk9o8sJanuary 3, 2026
The second Galaxy S26 Ultra rumor we've come across concerns the shape. S Pen stylus. Apparently, it will have an “asymmetric arc” at the end to better match the curvature of the sides of the upcoming flagship phone.
You may remember that the Galaxy S25 Ultra took a more rounded approach to the frame compared to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, the S Pen hasn't changed shape in 2025 – perhaps that will be the case in 2026.
This matches the images of the Galaxy S26 Ultra S Pen first revealed back in Septemberwhich now inspire even more confidence. The S Pen stylus is, of course, one of the key selling points of the Ultra that rival phone makers' flagships don't have.
It remains to be seen whether the S Pen will bring back some of the features it lost last year, such as remote camera control and annoying gesture support. some fans of the Ultra model and built-in stylus.
Camera redesign
I recently had the opportunity to see some of the actual design of the Galaxy S26 Ultra in person. One thing is for sure: the company has finally abandoned the widely criticized and cheap-looking “vinyl record” camera ring design. The new design looks more like metal rings around the cameras on… pic.twitter.com/z7JMxZht7XJanuary 4, 2026
Our latest Galaxy S26 Ultra leak of the day comes from rear camera designwhich will apparently look “extremely clean and minimalistic” and “much more premium” compared to what we have in the current model.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra has thick black rings around the rear camera that look a bit like vinyl records. It looks like the next model will feature thinner metal frames around the lenses – not much different from the previous cameras. iPhone 17 pro.
This all sounds positive, although one could argue that these changes are mostly cosmetic. In addition to the increase in chipset performancethere may not be anything else in terms of significant updates between the 2025 and 2026 models.
All indications are that we will get the launch of the Galaxy S26 phones. sometime in Februarywith shipment scheduled for March. There are supposed to be three phones, although there are rumors that there won't be a successor. Galaxy S25 Edge.
