Leaks Show Galaxy S26 Ultra Redesign as Samsung Reportedly Revives Plus Model

Fresh leaks suggest a software-first camera approach, with Samsung reconsidering the S26 lineup after weak S25 Edge demand.

Overview

  • CAD-based renders point to a slimmer Galaxy S26 Ultra at 7.9mm with rounder corners, a flat display, and a raised camera island protruding about 4.5mm.
  • Korean reports say camera hardware across the S26 line is largely unchanged, with the Ultra retaining a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and dual telephotos.
  • Some leaks flag a possible 10MP 3x telephoto on the Ultra as a downgrade in light capture versus the S25 Ultra, while the Edge model may gain a 50MP ultrawide.
  • The Elec reports Samsung has restarted development of a Galaxy S26 Plus (codenamed “M Plus”) after sluggish S25 Edge sales, though the lineup remains unannounced.
  • Performance rumors center on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in many regions with possible Exynos 2600 variants, a roughly 5,000mAh battery, and wired charging reports ranging from 45W to about 60W.
