With the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung abandoned its long-standing sharp, angular design for a more ergonomic, rounded design. This change, which took into account user feedback, made the phone easier to use with one hand and carry in a pocket. According to the latest information, Samsung aims to take this comfort revolution a step further with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Rumors indicate that the new model’s corners will be more rounded. This is expected to improve the phone’s in-hand feel and give it a more stylish appearance.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra will be very different
One of the most exciting improvements for the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be in the camera. Samsung is claimed to retain its 200MP main camera sensor. However, it is also reported that the lens aperture will be increased from f/1.7 to f/1.4. This seemingly small change allows the sensor to capture significantly more light, significantly improving the quality of photos, especially at night and in low-light conditions.
The camera improvements don’t stop there. According to leaks, the 10MP telephoto camera, which offers 3x optical zoom, will be updated with a resolution increased to 50MP. This upgrade promises much sharper and more detailed results in zoomed-in shots.
Rumors suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature the same 5,000mAh battery as previous models. However, charging speeds may be increased, and support for 60W wired fast charging may be added.
One rumor about the display technology is quite futuristic. Samsung is reportedly working on a new OLED panel called “Flex Magic Pixel.” This panel could offer a privacy mode that uses artificial intelligence to prevent strangers looking at your screen from seeing the content.
While the Galaxy S26 series is still at least five months away from launch, these initial details suggest Samsung is moving forward rather than pursuing a radical design. It’s working to refine the existing formula with user-focused and targeted improvements.
