Although it\u2019s a bit too early in the rumor cycle for concrete Galaxy S26 leaks, that hasn\u2019t stopped people from talking about Samsung\u2019s next phones. Mostly recently, that\u2019s taken shape in r\/SamsungGalaxy<\/a>, where discussion of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is in full swing.<\/p>\n Along with sharing some speculative spec changes they\u2019re hoping to see, user u\/BHJ-AL also shared a fan-made concept render of what the Galaxy S26 Ultra could look like, and I\u2019ve got to admit \u2014 I think it\u2019s great.<\/p>\n Although this render isn\u2019t based on any actual reporting or other leaked info, it\u2019s a plausible design considering Samsung\u2019s other recent handsets. The camera sensor placement is the same as what we have now on the Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a>, as is the phone\u2019s generally boxy shape with slightly rounded corners.<\/p>\n The most significant change, however, is the redesigned housing around the primary, ultrawide, and telephoto cameras. This Galaxy S26 Ultra render imagines them placed inside an oval-shaped island, not unlike what we see on the Galaxy S25 Edge<\/a>, Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>, and Galaxy A56 5G<\/a>.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s an admittedly minor tweak, it\u2019s one I really like. The symmetry it adds with Samsung\u2019s other phones is a nice touch, but more than anything, I\u2019d just be happy to see\u00a0any\u00a0<\/strong>visual change on Samsung\u2019s next flagship.<\/p>\n As technically capable as its Ultra phones consistently are year after year, Samsung\u2019s design for its most premium slab phone is beyond tired. We\u2019ve had the same core design since the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and while this Galaxy S26 Ultra render isn\u2019t a complete change of pace, it\u2019s different enough that I\u2019d be thrilled to see it become a reality.<\/p>\n What do you think about this Galaxy S26 Ultra fan-made render?<\/p>\n 34 votes<\/p>\n I love it! I hope the phone actually looks like this.<\/p>\n 29%<\/p>\n It’s fine, but I hope we get a bigger redesign.<\/p>\n 44%<\/p>\n I don’t like it at all.<\/p>\n 21%<\/p>\n Other (let us know in the comments).<\/p>\n 6%<\/p>\n Looking through comments on that Reddit thread, opinions are pretty split. One person said, \u201cI like it somehow. Its like borrowing the design of the A56 with still the design of the previous ultras.\u201d Meanwhile, someone else simply stated, \u201cSorry but that looks ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, I\u2019m curious what you think. If this is what the Galaxy S26 Ultra looked like, would you be on board with it? Do you think a redesigned camera housing is enough, or would you like to see even bigger changes? Alternatively, would you rather Samsung not change anything and keep the design as it is today?<\/p>\n Whatever you\u2019re thinking, vote in the poll above and then sound off with any other Galaxy S26 Ultra thoughts you have in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Maring \/ Android Authority \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f This is an open thread.
