Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Surprising colors according to teaser leak, eyewitness confirms "better" camera design
Only around 7-8 weeks to go until the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco if the latest information from South Korea proves correct, but an initial Samsung teaser for the successor to the Galaxy S25 Ultra has just surfaced, apparently in Indonesia, where an X user was able to take some screenshots from an Instagram teaser, assuming their information is accurate.
We cannot be certain whether this is a fake, but reliable leaker Ice Universe has commented on the leak and pointed out a detail that may spark further discussion. According to the alleged Samsung promo (machine-translated below right), the flagship smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will be available in four color options: Black Shadow, White Shadow, Galactial (perhaps "Galatial" Blue) and Ultraviolet. The slightly brightened and AI-upscaled render above also alludes to the Ultraviolet color. You can find the original below.
No more titanium housing?
What Ice Universe is alluding to in his tweet below is the absence of the word "Titanium" in the color options, which possibly suggests that Samsung may imitate Apple in this case and switch back to pure aluminum for the housing material.
Eyewitness confirms “better” camera design
Meanwhile, Ice Universe claims to have seen a Galaxy S26 Ultra test device with his own eyes and has confirmed via X that Samsung will indeed be moving away from the grooved camera design of its predecessor to classic camera rings like those on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is also hinted at in the image above. He concludes that the camera rings are smaller than Apple's, but look significantly more premium and minimalist than on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
