Wondering what the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the most powerful and feature-packed model of the Galaxy S26 lineup, will look like? Thanks to renders published by the folks over at Android Headlines, we now have an answer.
Fans will instantly recognize the familiar design here: like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the S26 Ultra features a flat frame and rounded corners. But for the first time since 2021, Samsung is returning to a camera island on the back instead of placing the lenses individually. This design choice gives it a look similar to that of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be 7.9mm thick, while the camera island is said to protrude around 4.5mm from the body, so you can expect the phone to have a bit of wobble when sitting on a desk. Nothing out of the ordinary for Samsung's flagship phones, something only a centered camera island can solve.
We can also see the S Pen sitting at the very edge of the bottom left corner, a change likely necessitated by the thinner design compared to the S25 Ultra (which is 8.2mm thick). As a result, the S Pen’s back end—or “clicker,” as some call it—has been reshaped. It’s no longer flat, as shown in a previous leak.
Those who were expecting major design changes will be disappointed by the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The only Galaxy S26 model that will feel new will be the Galaxy S26 Edge, which will have a camera island that stretches across the top half of the phone, similar to what Apple calls the camera plateau on the iPhone 17 series. It would technically qualify as a centered island, even if the camera lenses are still expected to be located on the left corner.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra could, however, look amazing when in use, as Samsung is rumored to use its most advanced OLED panel yet. This panel, already seen on a competing smartphone, could be significantly brighter and make colors pop even more.
