Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Design Unveiled Prematurely Before Official Launch: Insights Revealed
The tech world is abuzz with rumours about Samsung's upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G. While none of these details have been officially confirmed, several reports and leaks point towards some exciting changes.
One of the most intriguing rumours is that the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G might take inspiration from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, featuring a pill-shaped camera island. This design change, if confirmed, could set a new trend in smartphone photography.
In terms of camera specifications, some reports suggest that the phone may retain its 5x telephoto zoom lens. However, there are whispers of a potential downgrade on the secondary telephoto camera. Accessory manufacturers have received device schematics early, suggesting these renders are expected to be reliable.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G is rumoured to be powered by the 3nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, ensuring smooth performance and efficient power consumption. To support this powerful hardware, the device might come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, capable of 60W fast charging.
The handset is also rumoured to feature an upgraded vapour cooling chamber, aiming for sustained performance even during intensive tasks. This could be a significant improvement over its predecessor.
Interestingly, the camera bump on the S26 Ultra may be nearly twice as thick as that of its predecessor. However, no concrete details have been provided about the potential benefits of this design change. Some speculate that the handset might be slimmer than its predecessor or might come with a wider aperture.
Samsung is rumoured to replace the standard Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus with a new Galaxy S26 Pro and a Galaxy S26 Edge for the Galaxy S26 lineup. The expected launch timeline for the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G is not yet confirmed, but it is expected to arrive in January 2026 alongside other members of the lineup.
The expected price for the base variant of the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G is around Rs 1,59,990 in India. As always, these prices are subject to change and should be taken with a grain of salt.
The leaked design changes of the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G were provided by the leaker @UniverseIce, who published images of protective films for the cameras of the Pro, Edge, and Ultra models. These images align with known CAD renderings and visualizations from Smartprix, adding credibility to the rumours.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to monitor the developments surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G.
