Even though there were doubts about whether or not there would be a Galaxy S26+, one thing has always been certain: the Galaxy S26 series will include the regular Ultra model. Leaks have suggested that it will take design inspiration from the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold 7 by adopting a similar-looking camera island on the back.
Now, a newly leaked photo of a third-party case lends further support to this rumored design change and gives us the first real look at the phone. This photo is courtesy of @TarunVats of X.
The image gives us a glimpse of the Galaxy S26 Ultra in black color. Just like previous leaks, this one also shows that the phone has flat sides, rounded corners, an island-shaped bump for three of the four cameras on the back, and a power button and volume buttons on the right side of the device.
As for other specs, previous leaks suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature an M14 OLED display, Qualcomm’s recently announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (at least in some regions), a slightly improved camera setup compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the same 5,000 mAh battery found in its predecessor.
