New Galaxy S26 leaks point to a curvier Ultra model – and an iPhone 17-like design

• Fresh Samsung Galaxy S26 leaks have appeared
• The Edge model could follow the iPhone 17 Pro design
• A more rounded Ultra model is predicted

We're still taking in everything the newly unveiled Samsung Galaxy S25 FE has to offer, but the Samsung production line isn't slowing down, with the Galaxy S26 series due in January – and we have some fresh leaks around the upcoming phones.

First up, well-known tipster @UniverseIce has posted an unofficial render of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra next to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, as well as claimed dimensions for the upcoming phone – which will apparently be a little taller and wider than its predecessor.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra measures 162.8 x 77.6mm, whereas the Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to be 163.4 x 77.9mm. Those would be very slight differences, so you'd be unlikely to notice it if you were holding both phones side by side.

What you might notice is the extra curvature this leaker says will be applied to the corners, as Samsung continues to move away from the boxier look of Ultra models gone by. We'll have to wait and see whether or not that still leaves room for an S Pen slot.

All the models

We also have a leaked image showing off dummy models of all three Galaxy S26 phones from @SonnyDickson, a tipster who's usually pretty accurate. Bear in mind, we think there will be Pro, Edge, and Ultra models next year. with no 'standard' Galaxy S26 and no Plus model.

You can see from the picture that the middle phone, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge, has a very iPhone 17 Pro-like design, with a fairly prominent rectangular camera bump. That's assuming, of course, that the latest leaked iPhone 17 Pro renders are accurate – Apple's next smartphones won't be unveiled until September 9.

The other two handsets here also get a camera bump, but not as dramatic. And it would appear that these phones are finally going to adopt full magnet-powered Qi2 wireless charging, for a MagSafe-like experience, as the Pixel 10 phones have done.

It's still early days for Galaxy S26 news, so don't take these leaks as confirmations just yet. If Samsung sticks to its usual schedule, then we're going to see the Galaxy S26 series in January – though the long-awaited tri-fold might be launching this month.
