Samsung's next-generation Galaxy S26 lineup was just leaked online, and they look very similar to an Apple iPhone. They also just so happen to be released 24 hours before Apple's iPhone 17 launch event.
Posted by SmartPrix, leaked renders appear to show the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Rumours have suggested that the Pro model is set to replace the standard Galaxy S26.
The Galaxy S26 Edge was also leaked a few days prior, having the strongest similarities to an iPhone.
Both Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra appear to be thinner than the current S25 models
|So, what do the leaked renders tell us?
According to the pictures, the camera display appears to be similar to previous Galaxy models. However, they also feature an extended island, which has been previously seen on the Galaxy Fold 7.
Both Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra also appear to be thinner than the current S25 models, which could mean they may be lighter as well. Whispers suggest that the S26 Ultra will be only 7.8mm down from 8.2, whereas the Galaxy S26 Pro is 6.7mm, down from 7.2mm.
Even though the photos suggest a thinner profile, there have been rumours that the new phones will feature Qi2 magnets. These are known to be slightly larger and are used for wireless charging abilities.
While this is not displayed, there have been claims that the Pro might use an Exynos chip while the Ultra gets Qualcomm’s next Snapdragon flagship. These are what allow the Galaxy phones to run on high power efficiently.
Galaxy S26 Edge is rumoured to be replacing the ‘Plus’ variant in its lineup with this upcoming model
|In terms of the Galaxy S26 Edge, Samsung is rumoured to be replacing the ‘Plus’ variant in its lineup with this upcoming model.
The S26 Edge could feature a large camera bar that spans the entire width of the phone. This means Samsung might be able to fit its camera sensors and some other hardware without compromising the model's thin design.
There appears to also be two camera sensors and the LED flash toward the left of the horizontal camera bar.
Leaked specifications say the model will measure 158.4 x 75.7 x 5.5 mm (which increases to 10.8mm with the camera bump), making the phone even thinner than its current slimmest point (5.8 mm vs. 5.5 mm).
