I’ll Take a Galaxy S26 Ultra… in Cosmic Orange, Please

The Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t arriving anytime soon. There are still more than three months to go before Samsung officially pulls the curtains back on its trio, or possibly quartet, of Galaxy S26 phones. We’re keeping the fourth slot open because a few rumors have thrown the idea of a Galaxy S26+ into the mix. Whether that model ever sees the light of day, however, is anyone’s guess.

Cosmic Orange looks good, and what if Galaxy S26 Ultra gets a similar flavor?

Meanwhile, Apple has already rolled out four new iPhones, and one of them looks like a worthy rival to Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Edge. Pardon me, it’s not the Galaxy S25 Edge anymore. As has always been the case, Apple’s latest will compete against Samsung’s next.

You can’t help but notice that Apple is having some fun with the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, especially the eye-catching Cosmic Orange variant. It makes me wonder what would happen if Samsung launched a Galaxy S26 Ultra in Cosmic Orange. That’s probably wishful thinking, but such a color could really turn heads.

Thankfully, Chandan on X has imagined how the Galaxy S26 Ultra might look in Cosmic Orange, and I have to agree with him — it looks far better than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The funny part is, the Galaxy version is still a myth, at least for now, while the iPhone is very real.

What comes to your mind after seeing that picture? Do you feel curious about just how “orange” that shade really is? If so, I recommend checking out an article by CNET’s Patrik Holland, who ran some “extremely scientific tests” to find out how cosmic this orange truly is.

Sign-ups for the Galaxy S26 Ultra Mystery Box are now open! You’ll get full more details soon, but count on more guaranteed items and bigger random prizes than ever. At minimum, your box includes a free charger, case, screen protector, cleaning kit, and phone stand.

Even though it’s unlikely we’ll see an orange Galaxy S26 Ultra, how many of you would actually love to see Samsung experiment with some funky new shades? Because why not? Personally, I hope Samsung proves me wrong and does launch an orange variant. And considering how well the color is selling for Apple, it’s clear that people crave not just performance, but a little cosmetic beauty, and maybe a touch of Cosmic Orange too.
