The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra might have just been caught on camera
In a brief video
- A leaked video seemingly shows the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
- You can see it from the back and also see its retail box
- However, it might well just be a dummy unit
We’re fast approaching the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, with a recent leak suggesting these phones could be announced on February 25, so it’s only natural that we’d start seeing the phones appear in leaked photos and videos – and the first such video may have now emerged.
Shared by leaker @UniverseIce on X, the brief video shows what appears to be a retail box for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and then shows the phone itself from the back.
There’s not a huge amount to see here as the handset looks both a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and a lot like we were expecting from previous leaks. That’s a bit disappointing, as it means Samsung probably isn’t doing much to freshen up the look.

But it is at least slightly different to its predecessor, most notably in that three of its rear lenses are housed in a raised camera block, rather than them jutting out individually.
Beyond that, the phone is shown in a black or dark gray shade, and you can see that it has four rear cameras, while the image on the box shows that there’s unsurprisingly an S Pen stylus included.
It could be fake
This all matches with previous leaks, but we’d still take this with a serious side of salt. While @UniverseIce is a reputable leaker, they claim not to know the source of this video, and in a reply to their post, some commenters – including leaker Max Jambor – say they think it’s fake.
Still, even if it’s just a dummy unit, it’s likely that the details shown here will be more or less accurate, given that again they line up with previous leaks. So real or not, this could broadly be what the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra looks like.
