With just weeks to go until Samsung unveils its next-gen flagship lineup, leaks about the Galaxy S26 series are picking up pace. We recently learned that, contrary to earlier reports, the devices may not cost more than last year’s models, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra potentially arriving at a lower price point. Now, a fresh leak has given us our first real look at all three models in the lineup.

Noted tipster Evan Blass has shared a few images in a recent post on X, offering an early look at the Galaxy S26 series’ largely familiar design. The images showcase the front of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, along with the back panels of all three devices, each covered in transparent cases from reputed casemaker UAG.

As indicated in previous leaks, the Galaxy S26 Ultra appears to have more rounded edges, with the S Pen featuring a curved top that sits flush with the phone’s bottom left corner. Around the back, it has a quad camera setup with the three main sensors housed in a pill-shaped camera island. Button placement remains unchanged, with both the volume rocker and power button located on the device’s right edge.

The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus look nearly identical to their predecessors, with the exception of the new pill-shaped camera island. The images show the devices in a white colorway, though recent reports suggest that the base models will also be available in Black, Cobalt Violet, and Sky Blue options, while the Ultra variant could launch in Black, Silver Shadow, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet, and Pink Gold finishes.

Samsung is expected to lift the covers off the Galaxy S26 series in late February, with the devices likely going on sale in March. As always, Samsung has yet to confirm any official details, so we’ll have to wait for the launch event to see how these leaks stack up against the final products.
