Although it’s still months away from launch, the Samsung Galaxy S26 series has already appeared on multiple occasions, including in the form of unofficial renders just last week. Leaks have shed light on some of their camera upgrades as well. We’re now being treated to official-looking 3D CAD renders of the Galaxy S26 Pro, the entry-level version in the upcoming smartphone trio.
There are a total of three renders of the Galaxy S26 Pro here, courtesy of a collaboration between Android Headlines and Onleaks, giving us an excellent idea about its design attributes. Barring the raised rear cameras, which we’ll talk about later, there are no easily distinguishable design changes here.
The renders here appear to be of the Navy version of the Galaxy S26 Pro, though it’s unclear if this will be among the launch-day colors next year.
Say hello to the updated camera bump
We’re not seeing any major changes in the arrangement of buttons, either, as the volume rocker sits on the right-hand side of the device, accompanied by the power button right below. The screen and the back panel are both flat, while the position of the front-facing camera is also virtually unchanged.
As we touched on above, the most obvious design change comes in the rear camera’s arrangement, as we’ve known for a while now. Samsung is adopting a vertical camera layout with the Galaxy S26 Pro, but the sensors now live inside a vertical camera island. This will also be the case with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, based on the leaked renders we’ve come across so far.
This is not completely out of the ordinary for Samsung, as we’ve seen it in the company’s most recent foldable, though it is a noticeable change from the vanilla Galaxy S25. Android Headlines further reports that the Galaxy S26 Pro will feature dimensions of 149.3 x 71.4mm, with a frame thickness of 6.96mm, or 10.23mm with the raised rear cameras included.
There are no changes expected in the materials used to produce the Galaxy S26 Pro compared to the Galaxy S25, with the phone reportedly utilizing aluminum and glass in its construction. While the smartphone may not be dissimilar to the Galaxy S25 in terms of design, there will be a handful of changes in the hardware department.
We can expect Qualcomm’s latest and greatest mobile chip, a notable upgrade to the available RAM, and potential camera upgrades across the three early 2026 Samsung flagships. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could also be in for some fast charging improvements, while the Galaxy S26 Pro and Edge models are also expected to carry battery upgrades.
