Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Teaser: New Colors and Improved Camera Design

Key Takeaways

1. The Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to take place in about 7-8 weeks in San Francisco.
2. A teaser for the Galaxy S25 Ultra has surfaced, featuring four color options: Black Shadow, White Shadow, Galactial Blue, and Ultraviolet.
3. There is uncertainty about the authenticity of the teaser, although a trusted leaker, Ice Universe, has commented on it.
4. The absence of “Titanium” in the material options suggests Samsung may use pure aluminum instead of titanium for the device’s casing.
5. The Galaxy S26 Ultra will have a new camera design with classic rings, moving away from the previous grooved design, aiming for a more premium and minimalist look.

Only about 7-8 weeks remain until the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco if the recent reports from South Korea are accurate. A teaser for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra has emerged, reportedly from Indonesia. An X user shared some screenshots of an Instagram teaser, assuming the information they provided is correct.

Uncertain Authenticity

While it’s hard to tell if this is genuine, a trusted leaker named Ice Universe has commented on the situation and highlighted a detail that could spark more debate. The supposed Samsung promotion (translated below) states that the premium smartphone featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will come in four color choices: Black Shadow, White Shadow, Galactial (possibly “Galatial” Blue), and Ultraviolet. The AI-enhanced and slightly brightened render shown above hints at the Ultraviolet shade. You can see the original version below.

Material Speculations

Ice Universe points out in his tweet that the term “Titanium” is missing from the color options list, which might indicate that Samsung is planning to follow Apple’s lead and revert to using pure aluminum for the device’s casing.

In the meantime, Ice Universe claims to have personally observed a Galaxy S26 Ultra test unit and has confirmed on X that Samsung will be departing from the grooved camera design of its previous model. Instead, they are adopting classic camera rings similar to those found on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is also suggested in the image above. He concludes that while the camera rings are smaller than those of Apple, they appear much more premium and minimalist compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
