The Galaxy S26 Ultra will be the top-end variant in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup with at least three smartphones.
The other two handsets in the lineup are reported to be the Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge. There have been various leaks about the Ultra variant in the past.
A new leak by UniverseIce now hints at a design change in the S26 Ultra that would make it easier to hold than before.
More Rounded Corners
According to the leak on X, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have rounded corners.
The predecessors have rounded corners, starting from the Ultra variant in the Galaxy S22 series to the Galaxy S25 lineup. However, the corners of the upcoming Ultra smartphone are stated to be rounder than all of them.
