Galaxy S26 Ultra: A leak reveals a rounder design and a new vibrant orange color
New dummies of the Galaxy S26 Ultra have surfaced online, revealing three potential colors and sparking a wave of reactions among Samsung fans.
Orange Takes Center Stage
A recent leak—whose reliability is yet to be confirmed—shows what appear to be the first dummy models of the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. If the images are authentic, Samsung seems ready to take a risk: the future Galaxy S26 Ultra might feature a bold new vibrant orange color.
While an orange hue has already been seen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it appears much more intense this time, reminiscent of the Cosmic Orange found in the recent iPhone 17 Pro.
The photos quickly circulated on X, even being shared by well-known leakers. Reactions have been mixed: some love this daring tone, while others find it a bit too flashy for an “Ultra” model.
However, this choice isn’t entirely out of place: the Galaxy Watch Ultra is also available in a striking orange tone. For those who like to coordinate their devices, the pairing could be perfect.
Two More Classic Colors
In addition to this novel orange shade, the leak showcases two other more classic finishes:
- an silver-white similar to the usual “Whitesilver,”
- an elegant and understated titanium gray.
Of course, caution is warranted: lighting, angles, and materials can easily affect perceived colors. Nothing is set in stone until the official unveiling.
A Rounder Design and a Matching Camera Block
Beyond colors, the design is particularly eye-catching. The dummies suggest a body with rounder corners, as well as a camera block matching the color of the chassis. This evolution may signal a push toward a harmonized design across various Galaxy models.
Thus, the Galaxy S26 Ultra would adopt a look closer to the Galaxy S25 Edge, following a new common visual language for the range.
According to some rumors, Samsung might even contemplate restructuring its Galaxy S26 series:
- the standard model would be replaced by a Galaxy S26 Pro,
- the “Plus” would be renamed as the Galaxy S26 Edge—although recent discussions have suggested otherwise,
- and the Ultra would remain the flagship model.
This strategy could provide greater consistency across the lineup but might disappoint fans of the distinctive boxy design of previous Ultra models.
A Debate Already Underway: Goodbye to the Boxy Look?
If these leaks prove accurate, Samsung may round the angles of the Ultra model—an evolution that isn’t universally accepted. Some see it as a more fluid and modern style, while others lament the robust and professional silhouette of older models.
Before jumping to conclusions (or reigniting the Apple vs. Samsung war), it’s important to remember that these dummies do not confirm anything official. Nothing will be certain until Samsung unveils the Galaxy S26 lineup, or a more credible leak corroborates these images.
But one thing is clear: if the rumor is true, orange might just become the new black.
