| The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra appears in allegedly official product images. |
The tech world is buzzing with anticipation, and a major reveal is now just over the horizon. Samsung is set to officially unveil the successor to its current flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, on February 25, 2026. But in a twist that feels almost traditional for the leak-prone series, the curtain has been pulled back early. A full set of what appear to be official product images has surfaced, giving us our clearest look yet at the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
The images, published by Android Headlines, are reported to be not fan-made renders but genuine marketing material sourced directly from Samsung. If accurate, this means our first glimpse is essentially the real deal.
So, what’s new? After months of speculation and minor leaks, the design evolution appears to be one of refinement rather than revolution. Samsung is sticking with a proven formula but making a few key tweaks. The most noticeable change is at the back: the much-discussed new pill-shaped camera module. This marks a departure from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, where the three main sensors were housed in individual, distinct rings. The new unified bar gives the device a cleaner, more streamlined look.

The leaked shots show the flagship in two classic colors: a deep, sophisticated Black and a shimmering Cobalt Violet. In hand, the S26 Ultra is reported to feel slightly different from its predecessor. According to the leaked dimensions, it measures 163.6 x 78.1 x 7.9 mm and weighs 214 grams. This makes it a tad larger overall but impressively 0.3mm thinner and 4 grams lighter than the S25 Ultra—a welcome improvement for such a large device.

Beyond the aesthetics, Android Headlines has also corroborated several key specifications, though a complete datasheet is still pending. As expected, powering the beast will be Qualcomm's next-generation flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. There’s strong speculation that Samsung will use a custom, slightly higher-clocked “for Galaxy” variant to eke out every drop of performance. The battery capacity is expected to hold steady at a robust 5,000 mAh, and wireless charging remains a staple. Interestingly, the phone is also tipped to retain the ability to function as a wireless power bank, charging accessories like earbuds directly from its back.
The display is again a massive 6.9-inch AMOLED, but it might bring a smart new software trick to the hardware party. Reports point to a new “Privacy Display” feature, likely a technology that narrows the screen’s viewing angles so that only the person directly in front of the phone can see the content clearly—perfect for checking sensitive information in public.
On the camera front, the megapixel count seems unchanged on paper. The setup is expected to include a 12MP selfie camera, and a rear array featuring a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, a 10MP telephoto, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. The real magic, as always with Samsung, will likely come from enhanced image processing and new software features leveraging the new chipset.
With an official launch date set and what looks like official imagery already in the wild, the stage is almost set for Samsung’s 2026 flagship unveiling. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is shaping up to be an iterative but polished update, focusing on a sleeker design, minor ergonomic improvements, and under-the-hood power boosts. All eyes will be on February 25th for the full, official story.
