Igeekphone December 31st: A source @Onleaks posted a tweet on the X platform yesterday (December 30th), sharing a video and a set of pictures that showcased the prototype of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra flagship phone, revealing its complete design details.
In terms of appearance, the most notable change is that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will abandon the relatively square design of recent years and instead adopt a more comfortable rounded bezel, while reverting to the pill-shaped camera island design.
In addition, the prototype also confirmed the pure black color scheme, USB-C interface, S Pen slot, and the position of the SIM card tray. It was also reported that the body of the S26 Ultra will be thinner than its predecessor, but the opening size of the front camera will be slightly increased to achieve a wider shooting field.
In terms of performance, it is reported that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra phone will be equipped with the Qualcomm 5th-generation Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition for Galaxy chip.
In terms of batteries, based on the previous 3C certification information, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra phone will be equipped with a 5000mAh capacity battery, supporting 60W wired fast charging and 25W wireless charging. However, it is expected that no charger will be included in the package, and users will need to purchase it separately.
In terms of imaging, the hardware configuration of the S26 Ultra has not changed much compared to the previous model. It still consists of a 20-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 12-megapixel 3x telephoto camera, and a 5-megapixel 5x telephoto periscope camera.
Samsung has focused its upgrade efforts on software and professional experiences. The new model is expected to introduce the AVP (Advanced Video Professional) professional video codec, which supports the recording of RAW videos with higher bitrates and more details.
At the same time, it will also be the first to support the TILTA professional wireless focus controller, and optimize the lens coating technology to enhance the skin tone performance. Through the collaboration of software and hardware, it will further upgrade the imaging experience.
