- Renders point to a Galaxy S26 Ultra with an S Pen slot and more rounded corners.
- The S26 Edge would be ultra-thin (5,5 mm) with a large camera island and full Qi2 charging.
- Photography improvements on the Ultra: more light on the main sensor and new telephoto lenses.
- Lineup reshuffle: S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra, scheduled for release in January.
The new family, according to these images, would replace the classic “Plus” name with a model Ultra-thin edge, while the base model would adopt the surname “Pro” and the top of the range would remain as “Ultra”. Information comes from CAD renderings and common sources in the sector, so, although consistent, should be taken as a preliminary.
Design changes in the Galaxy S26 Ultra renders
Leaked images indicate that the Galaxy S26 Ultra would retain the integrated slot for the S Pen, despite the integration of Qi2 wireless charging. In addition, the chassis would adopt more rounded corners to improve grip without sacrificing a sober aesthetic.
Another visible change is the relief of the photographic module: there is talk of a protrusion close to 4,5 mm, noticeably larger than the previous model. The idea would be to justify this extra thickness with larger optics, a brighter main sensor, and an improved telephoto lens.
In photography, the renders and consulted sources indicate a 200 MP main camera with aperture f/1.4 and up to 47% more light, a new 3MP 12x telephoto lens with larger S5K3LD sensor and a 5x of 50 MP that would go to f/2.9 to collect 38% more lightThe goal is to strengthen performance at intermediate zoom and low-light scenarios.
Inside, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is expected. new generation and higher frequencies, while the body would be slightly thinner than that of the Galaxy s25 ultraOf course, the camera module would protrude a little further, a reasonable compromise if the photographic leap is confirmed.
All of this fits with an Ultra that It seeks to be more comfortable in hand without giving up the premium identity of the range, with less angular lines and a more ambitious photographic approach. As always, we'll have to wait for the presentation to validate every detail.
Galaxy S26 Edge renders: minimal thickness and new camera array
The most striking model by design would be the Galaxy S26 Edge: the renders attribute dimensions of 158,4 x 75,7 x 5,5 mm, with a total thickness of 10,8 mm if we count the camera module. It would therefore be thinner than its predecessor.
The front would bet on a flat screen with very contained frames, a centered hole for the camera and an AMOLED panel of 6,7 inches at 120 Hz. It's a continuous approach to the front view that prioritizes user comfort and a clean display.
Behind, the novelty is a very wide chamber island which covers almost the entire width of the terminal, within which two sensors would be seen vertically. Among the changes, the increase of the ultra wide angle from 12 to 50 megapixels, a fit that matches the search for higher quality without sacrificing ultra-thin thickness.
In terms of autonomy, rumors speak of a battery around 4.200 mAh despite the very thin chassis, Y de full Qi2 compatibility with accessory magnets, a clear evolution compared to previous generations where support was more limited.
At the catalog level, Android Headlines and other sources agree that the Edge would replace the old “Plus”, leaving the series in S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. The launch is set for January (in line with the usual schedule), and it would not be surprising if its starting price were placed above € 1.199 in certain configurations.
Galaxy S26 Pro renders and name changes
The Galaxy S26 Pro would inherit part of the aesthetics of the S25 Edge, with flat aluminum frames, rounded corners and a unique photo module that protrudes slightly. It is said to be a thickness close to 6,7 mm and a screen of approximately 6,27 inches, always according to the leaked models and renders.
In terms of specifications, the leaks point to a balanced package: 12GB memory, a battery of around 4.300 mAh and a SoC from the Snapdragon 8 Elite family or, in some markets, a new-generation Exynos. These are unconfirmed details, but they are consistent with Samsung's strategy for its mid-range model.
The circulating models reinforce the change of name: Goodbye “Plus,” hello “Edge”; the “Classic” becomes Pro, and the Ultra keeps its name but softens its lines. In all of them, you can see more rounded edges and details around the lenses that recall the brand's most recent design language.
Judging by the leaks, the next generation is shaping up to be a shift towards thinness and ergonomics, with larger camera modules, improvements in brightness, and fully integrated Qi2; if all this is confirmed in January, the Galaxy S26 would arrive with a more mature and unpretentious approach, but with changes that are noticeable on a daily basis.
