Galaxy S26 Ultra Renders Reveal Raised Camera Island as Reports Flag Minimal Camera Hardware Changes

Supply-chain reporting indicates Samsung will prioritize software-driven imaging improvements over sweeping sensor changes.

Overview

  • New CAD-based images via OnLeaks show a refined S26 Ultra design with rounder edges, slimmer bezels, and a prominent rear camera platform.
  • The leaked bump is reported at about 4.5mm on a phone rumored to be roughly 7.9mm thick, marking a more pronounced protrusion than the S25 Ultra.
  • ET News-based reports say the series will largely carry over camera resolutions, with the Ultra expected to keep a 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and dual-telephoto setup.
  • The S26 Pro is tipped to mirror its predecessor’s 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP 3x cameras, while the S26 Edge is rumored to upgrade its ultrawide to 50MP.
  • Coverage suggests image quality gains will come from software and AI processing, as unverified rumors continue around SoC variants, 60W charging, a ~6.9-inch display, and a 5,000 mAh battery.
