Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Our best official 360-degree view yet

The internet is abuzz with praise for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. "The best view," "the most beautiful Samsung phone yet," and so on are circulating on social media these days, where, thanks to Evan Blass, Samsung is sharing the first 360-degree video. The short 10-second video, also available below in high resolution, shows the Galaxy S26 Ultra, expected on February 25, 2026, in the purple color option, which, apart from the background, looks more metallic than purple.

While official renders have been circulating for a few days, and a promotional poster has already leaked, we can now see the approaching Samsung flagship for the first time without distracting watermarks and from multiple angles, making it easier to compare it to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The biggest difference is the camera module, which, like the Galaxy Z Fold7, now appears as a single unit, but upon closer inspection is actually a three-stage setup. The controversial rings around the individual cameras have disappeared.

Only upon closer inspection do the even more rounded corners become apparent, bringing the Galaxy S26 Ultra closer to the design of the other two Galaxy S26 models. Although an S Pen is still integrated, the Galaxy S26 Ultra otherwise has little in common with the more angular Galaxy Note flagships of yesteryear. The front appears unchanged; the display bezels seem thin and uniform, but this was also the case with its predecessor. Unfortunately, Samsung is likely to stick with last year's add-on solution for magnetic wireless charging, as a leaker recently revealed.
