Exclusive hands-on pictures & video reveal the Samsung Galaxy S26 family in black and silver.

Shortly before the official unveiling, evidence is mounting regarding the final appearance of the Galaxy S26 series. New photos and a short video from well-known leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer provide a clear impression of how  Samsung is designing its next premium generation. Both the Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26 Ultra are available in two color variants: light silver and deep black.

The images show that Samsung has further unified the series' design language. The models appear more similar in their proportions, and the transitions between the shapes are more harmonious. A particularly striking feature is a redesigned camera module on the back, implemented as a single, cohesive block that replaces the individually encased lenses of its predecessors. This element is reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Fold7's design and gives both models a more uniform look, with the Ultra model standing out thanks to larger sensors and an additional camera.

The short video also shows the front and side contour of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The integrated S Pen has been redesigned: the cap now features a rounded side to fit better with the softer body design.

Following internal adjustments to the product plan, including the return of a Galaxy S26+ instead of an S26 Edge, the series is expected to launch in February 2026. Samsung is again planning a dual-chip strategy. The Ultra model will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 globally, while the S26 and S26+ will receive either the same Snapdragon or Samsung's own Exynos 2600, depending on the region.

The latest leaks do not suggest any major technical surprises, but rather a clearer design direction. Samsung is reducing the differences between models and creating a visually cohesive premium family.
