Official-looking renders and specs for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra have now surfaced online. With Samsung’s Unpacked event expected in late February 2026, these images suggest the flagship will carry forward much of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s style while refining details and packing top-tier components.

The leaked renders, courtesy of Android Headlines, show the Galaxy S26 Ultra in two colors, Cobalt Violet and black. However, more colors like white, silver shadow, sky blue, and pink gold are rumored to be part of the lineup.

The phone appears to retain a familiar silhouette with a flat 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display and minimal bezels around the centered punch-hole camera. Around the edges, flat sides and rounded corners give it a clean look.

Refined look with familiar flagship specs

One of the most noticeable design changes is the rear camera layout. Rather than separate camera circles, the Galaxy S26 Ultra uses a camera island with a vertically aligned quad-camera setup and an LED flash beside it.

It is expected to feature a 200MP main camera, paired with a 50MP ultrawide lens, a 10MP telephoto unit, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera. There’s a 12MP camera on the front for taking selfies, though other camera details remain unclear for now.

The leaked renders also include an S Pen stylus, and the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, along with a 5,000mAh battery and 256GB of storage.

Other notable details from the report include Android 16 with One UI 8.5 out of the box, and overall body measurements of approximately 163.6 x 78.1 x 7.9mm, weighing around 214 grams.

The display and internal hardware suggest Samsung is focusing on iterative refinement rather than radical redesign this time. Meanwhile, Samsung has already confirmed the Privacy Display as a key highlight, while earlier leaks suggest support for 60W charging.

A formal reveal is expected on February 25, where Samsung is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.

Suck at bedtime stories? Meta has an AI to tuck kids in
Bedtime storytelling is the next job AI is taking away from us.

Bedtime improvisation can demand an unreasonable amount of creativity from a parent who is just trying to get their overstimulated child to go to sleep. Meta might have a solution to this. Using AI, the company wants to take over the tales of dragons, enchanted forests, and conveniently timed lessons about sharing.

The company is testing StoryKit, a free iPhone app that generates personalized children’s stories using AI. Meta confirmed that it is piloting the app in select countries to gauge parents’ interest, with availability currently including Mexico and excluding the United States. A broader release date has yet to be announced.

My wallet flinched the second I saw the words "TSMC" and "price increase" in the same headline, and honestly, yours should too.

Turns out the company behind the silicon powering basically every flagship device out there, including Apple’s A-series and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors, is reportedly about to make all of it a little pricier.

Samsung’s free storage doubling for preorders is gone in Austria, and the replacement isn’t as sweet
Samsung's free storage doubling deal might just be history.

If you've pre-ordered a Samsung foldable purely for the free storage bump, tomorrow's Unpacked event might sting a little.

For years, pre-ordering a new Galaxy meant automatically getting double the storage at no additional charge. Buy the 128GB model, walk away with 256GB for the same price. The same applied to the 256GB and 512GB models. However, that might change at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.
