Introduction — S26 design leaks
New leaks show the Samsung S26 design with a large camera island on the back and a slimmer body than before. The Ultra keeps the S Pen. These are CAD and render leaks from trusted tipsters today.
What the new Samsung S26 design leaks show
Renders and CAD files point to a raised rectangular camera block on the Pro and Ultra. The phones look thinner overall, but the camera bump is bigger to fit optics. The Ultra is rounder at the corners and still holds the S Pen slot or support.
Leakers also show a possible 6.89-inch screen for the Ultra — nearly the same size as last year — so the feel in hand may change by millimeters only.
Camera and design trade-offs
A larger camera island usually means larger lenses or extra hardware. Rumors say the Ultra may use wider apertures and improved telephoto lenses for better low-light photos. But those camera gains can make the back thicker where the bump sits.
Spec vs Leak — comparison table
| Item | Leaked claim | Reported/spec (expected) |

| S Pen | S Pen support stays on S26 Ultra | Expected: Ultra keeps S Pen (leaks agree). |
| Body thickness | Overall slimmer phone, larger camera bump | Reported: thinner frame but bump makes camera area thicker. |
| Screen size (Ultra) | ~6.89 inches (rumor) | Expected: similar to S25 Ultra size. |
| Camera upgrades | Wider apertures, improved telephoto for low light | Likely: tuned sensors; full specs at launch. |
