What’s happened? Leaked CAD renders of the upcoming Galaxy S26 Plus have surfaced online, offering an early look at its design.

  • The leak, courtesy of OnLeaks (via Android Headlines), showcases the device in two colorways: white and orange.
  • At first glance, the Galaxy S26 Plus looks quite similar to last year’s Galaxy S25 Plus, but its camera island stands out with a design that closely resembles the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold 7.
  • The leak also suggests that the phone will feature a flat display measuring approximately 6.7 inches with uniform bezels and a centered hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera.
  • The device is depicted with flat sides, power and volume buttons on the right edge, and a SIM slot, USB-C port, and speaker grille along the bottom. It reportedly measures 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.35mm, making it about the same size as its predecessor.

Why is this important? The leaked renders indicate that Samsung is sticking to incremental design updates yet again.

  • While earlier reports suggested that the Galaxy S26 might be thinner than its predecessor, the Plus model doesn’t seem to be following suit, with its rumored thickness remaining unchanged.
  • The new orange color shown in the renders is likely just illustrative, as CAD-based designs typically don’t represent final colors. Supporting this, leaker Max Jambor recently noted on X that this orange finish doesn’t actually exist.

Why should I care? These renders give us an early look at the Galaxy S26 Plus’ design, helping set expectations for those planning to upgrade.

  • If you were hoping for a major design overhaul, the Galaxy S26 Plus might not be the phone for you. However, fans of the Galaxy S25 Plus’ design should feel right at home.
  • The renders also hint at potential design changes on the base and Ultra variants, which could adopt the new camera island design while leaving the rest largely unchanged.

What’s next? Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 series early next year, with a recent report indicating a late-January launch. We expect more renders to surface in the coming weeks, revealing the final color options and the design changes for the other two models.

Setting up your dorm desk? These are the phone stands I’d actually spend my money on
From a $2 folding stand to a three-in-one Apple charging dock, these are the phone stands worth setting up this semester.
Analog Clock, Clock, Electronics

A phone stand is one of the smallest purchases on any back-to-school list, but it's also one of the easiest to get wrong, especially since there are dozens of options available on Amazon. A good phone stand is one that does its job well and, more importantly, doesn't put much of a dent in your budget.

This is one of those product categories where you don’t need to spend big, unless a MagSafe dock or a multi-device charging stand is genuinely useful for your desk or dorm setup. That is why this list begins with the most affordable options and works its way up to the more expensive ones. From a two-pack that costs about as much as a coffee to a three-in-one Apple charging station, I picked eight of Amazon's best-reviewed phone stands worth considering this back-to-school season.

I picked four wireless chargers so you can stop making your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch fight over one dorm outlet
The best back-to-school wireless chargers for dorm desks, study spaces, and travel
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

A dorm-room desk can disappear surprisingly quickly beneath a laptop charger, phone cable, Apple Watch puck, and the growing collection of adapters required to power them all. Add textbooks and other academic materials, and finding enough room to study becomes the first assignment of the semester.

A wireless charging stand can consolidate several of those cables into one station. It also gives your phone a dedicated place to sit, which helps when you are checking the time or watching a lecture. Every charger here still needs one connection to the wall. So finding a peripheral that works with all of your gadgets isn't just convenient, it's smart. I picked four models ranging from an inexpensive two-device stand to a fast 25W wireless charger capable of powering an entire Apple setup.

Your backpack needs one of these power banks before classes start
I picked 4 power banks that can survive your longest day on campus
Anker Nano 3-in-1 10,000mAh portable power bank for iPhone.

Finding an empty outlet on campus can require more patience than registering for a popular class. Common spaces like libraries or lecture halls rarely have sockets in the right places. So a good power bank gives you far more freedom. It gives you the option to choose the quiet corner of the library, work outside between classes, or even finish an assignment without worrying about your laptop's battery.

The right model depends on what you carry, since a phone needs far less power than a MacBook or gaming laptop. I picked four Anker power banks that cover everything from everyday phone charging to running several demanding devices at once.
