One of the first accessories for all three Galaxy S26 models offers a glimpse into the design of Samsung's three flagship phones of 2026, particularly regarding the shape and size of their displays. The Galaxy S26 Ultra's front design closely resembles that of its two siblings.

A leaker hinted several months ago that Samsung was abandoning the formerly sharp and angular corners of the Galaxy Note series, and leaked renders based on CAD models have already documented the trend towards more rounded displays. Now we are seeing accessories for the Galaxy S26 series for the first time, consisting of three screen protectors for the successors to the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

In the photo above, the three tempered glass covers for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra look very similar. The only difference appears to be the size, which, at presumably 6.3 inches, 6.7 inches and 6.9 inches, corresponds to the expected display diagonals of the next Samsung flagship smartphones. The front design of the Ultra models, previously characterized by its angular edges, has given way to the same rounded design of the two smaller models. The display edges also appear uniformly thin on all four sides. It remains to be seen whether Samsung will be able to further reduce the edges this year, as Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo have done.

A recent, somewhat dubious specs leak for the entire Galaxy S26 series hinted at some major changes to the batteries and cameras. The use of the Exynos 2600 is currently relatively certain, at least in the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+. According to Samsung's first official teaser for the Galaxy S26 series, new camera sensors will also be included. Over the weekend, industry insiders from Korea also revealed the supposed Galaxy Unpacked date in February 2026.
