Galaxy S26 Ultra Surfaces in Real-Looking Image from Case Maker

Samsung may have shelved the Galaxy S26 Edge, but the Ultra is still moving full steam ahead. A newly leaked image from a third-party case maker has surfaced online, revealing what appears to be the final or near-final design of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The photo gives us our clearest look yet at the phone’s rear camera bump.

Galaxy S26 Ultra leaked in an official-looking image

The leaked image shared by @tarunvats33 on X shows a prominent camera island bump housing three lenses in a vertical array. The fourth camera and the ToF sensor sit next to the bump, with the LED flash unit sandwiched between them. It’s a similar setup to the S25 Ultra, but the current model doesn’t have a separate island.

The edges are flat, paired with gently rounded corners, suggesting Samsung is refining ergonomics. The case appears to have a circular ring, which hints at Qi2 wireless charging support. However, it’s unclear whether Samsung will fit magnets inside the device for built-in Qi2 support or if it will continue to rely on magnetic cases. Rumors suggest that built-in magnets may block reverse wireless charging.

This case-based leak is among the more compelling visual teasers for the Galaxy S26 Ultra to date. Samsung is expected to launch the phone early next year. However, recent developments around the S26 Edge may delay the official introduction. Samsung has suddenly decided to discontinue the Edge series and keep the Plus model, so it may need additional time to finalize everything.
