Leaked Cases Firm Up Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Oval Camera Island

Fresh case photos from a noted leaker hint at a redesigned camera layout ahead of a likely January unveiling.

Overview

  • Images posted on X by @UniverseIce show the Galaxy S26 Ultra in a protective case that reveals an oval rear camera island instead of separate lenses.
  • The photos indicate thin display bezels, a top‑center punch‑hole selfie camera, four rear cameras with a laser autofocus module and flash, and right‑side power and volume keys.
  • The pictured accessory appears to be a hybrid case with rubberized sides and camera surround, a transparent back, lanyard holes, and raised edges for screen protection.
  • GSMArena notes such cases likely come from manufacturers using precise dimensions, lending credibility to the exterior layout seen here.
  • Rumored lineup and spec shifts — including an ultra‑thin S26 Edge, a new 2nm chip, Qi2 magnets, and 25W charging — remain unconfirmed ahead of an expected January 2026 launch.
