Samsung Galaxy S26 shows up in fresh renders ahead of launch

With the Samsung Galaxy S26 family just over two weeks away from launch, leaks surrounding them have picked up pace. We have already seen the S26 Ultra and its smaller siblings in various renders. But you can now feast your eyes on more renders of the devices in several colors, including a beautiful white shade for the S26 Ultra.

From all the leaks so far, it’s evident that Samsung does not plan to introduce any major design changes with the Galaxy S26 this year. The new renders further drive home the point, showing phones that look identical to the company’s 2025 flagships.

Leaker Evan Blass, a.k.a. @evleaks, shared a plethora of Galaxy S26 renders with his Substack subscribers. They show off the three phones in multiple colors — White, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet, and Black — and from several angles.

The only notable detail in the leaked renders is that Samsung will bundle a white S Pen with the White and Sky Blue variants of the S26 Ultra, while the Violet and Black models will ship with a black S Pen.

Samsung will supposedly offer the Galaxy S26 Ultra in even more colors, but they will be exclusively available through its online store and limited to certain markets.

The official-looking renders also appear to confirm that Samsung will ditch the titanium frame in favor of aluminum on the S26 Ultra this year.

Same design, minor internal upgrades

Unfortunately, besides the identical design, the Galaxy S26 lineup will pack similar specs to the 2025 models. The most notable upgrade will be the switch to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip for better performance. And at least on the Ultra, Privacy Display will be another notable upgrade. It will automatically mask on-screen content from side viewing angles, helping protect your information from prying eyes.

If the Galaxy S26 has still caught your fancy, you can pre-reserve the phone today. This will get you a $30 credit for the pre-order and also secure a spot in a $5,000 Samsung gift card sweepstakes. Plus, you can trade in your old device to get up to $900 in credits, reducing the total damage to your wallet.
