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.

Vivo X300 FE review: The compact flagship I didn’t expect to like this much
The Vivo X300 FE is the Hawkeye of flagships. It doesn't have superpowers, but somehow gets the job done better than everyone else.
Vivo X300 FE

Why Hawkeye?

Hawkeye was never the strongest Avenger, nor did he have the flashiest suit or superpowers. Yet he consistently proved his worth through precision, reliability, and doing the fundamentals exceptionally well. The Vivo X300 FE follows the same philosophy. It doesn't chase outrageous specifications or marketing gimmicks. Instead, it quietly nails the essentials with a superb display, dependable performance, excellent cameras, and outstanding battery life. It may not grab all the headlines, but when it matters, it's the flagship that gets the job done.
