New Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals planned color options of upcoming flagship phone

Samsung is gearing up to launch its new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phone lineup, the Galaxy S26 series. While the company has yet to officially announce the series, recent leaks have revealed a lot about the upcoming phones, and now, the possible color options of the S26 Ultra have surfaced.

To be specific, a set of new wallpapers has been spotted in One UI 8.5, and these are believed to represent the color options of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Now, while the source of the leak isn't as notable as other tipsters, credible leaker Ice Universe seems to be corroborating the leak.

Interestingly, among the leaked wallpapers is one with an orange theme, suggesting that the phone could be offered in an orange colorway. This is something that the past leaks have already hinted at.

Besides the orange-themed wallpaper, there are ones with silver, white, pink, black, and turquoise themes. That means there could be a total of six color options available for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Of course, not all of them might be available at regular retail stores (256 GB S25 Ultra curr. $899.99 on Amazon).

Instead, like the past lineups, Samsung could offer a couple of them as online exclusive colorways, and it's possible that the orange colorway will be one of them. Max Jambor, a notable tipster, has also previously hinted that the regular colorways of the S26 Ultra will be Black, White, Silver, and Pink. That said, these wallpapers aren't the only thing that has been recently surfaced through One UI 8.5. A hidden code within the update has somewhat confirmed a long-overdue upgrade for the Galaxy S26 series, which we have covered separately.
