Design Overview
The latest marketing poster, leaked by renowned leaker Evan Blass, showcases Samsung’s upcoming flagship in a striking Cobalt Violet finish. The overall silhouette remains familiar, retaining the core design language of the S25 Ultra while introducing subtle refinements.
Key Design Changes
- New Cobalt Violet colorway – a premium matte finish.
- Oval‑shaped vertical bump surrounding the triple rear cameras.
- Retained button placement: one on the top, one on the bottom.
Camera Bump and Sensors
The added vertical bump is likely meant to protect the lenses and may house a larger image sensor, a departure from the flat rear of the S25 Ultra.
Buttons and Layout
Two physical buttons remain positioned on the top and bottom edges, expected to function identically to those on the previous generation, providing power, volume, and possibly Bixby shortcuts.
Pricing and Availability
According to reports, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will launch at roughly 6 % higher price than the S25 Ultra, at least in Samsung’s home market of South Korea.
Performance and AI Upgrades
Samsung is rumored to equip the device with a slightly more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with upgraded AI capabilities that aim to enhance photography, voice assistance, and on‑device processing.
