For the past few months, we have been seeing the design of the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra through renders, cases, and dummy units. Now, we may have finally gotten our first official look, thanks to Samsung’s Tips app, which accidentally revealed a mockup of the device. The design matches what we have seen in earlier leaks, confirming key details such as more rounded corners and button placement.

Samsung’s Tips app may have revealed Galaxy S26 Ultra design

While digging through the latest version of the Tips app in One UI 8.5, we recently discovered the Privacy Display feature, which debuts with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, to demonstrate the feature, the company also included a device mockup. As we can see in the images below, the S26 Ultra is noticeably more rounded than its predecessor. This should give it a softer and more ergonomic feel in the hand.

The mockups also confirm the button layout. On the left side of the phone is empty, while the right side houses three buttons: volume up, volume down, and a multifunctional side key (power/ AI assistant). We can also see a SIM tray, a USB-C port, a primary microphone, and a speaker grille at the bottom. Likewise, there’s a secondary microphone at the top. The company may have also revamped the S Pen with a rounded upper tip that fits the phone’s new curved corners.

Speaking of bezels, while they do not look noticeably thinner compared to the predecessor, earlier leaks suggested that Samsung has slightly reduced them. The reason is that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature a slightly larger screen (6.89 inches instead of the S25 Ultra’s 6.86 inches) within a similar body size. As usual, the selfie camera sits inside a small punch-hole cutout at the top of the display.

While the mockup doesn’t show the back of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, previous leaks suggested a raised camera island design. The phone may house three main lenses within the camera bump, while an extra sensor and LED flash sit flat on the back. The phone could go official in late February 2026.
