With less than a month until the rumored February 25 unveiling of the Galaxy S26 series, official materials have customarily started popping up. First, the teaser for the privacy display feature showed up. And now, listings from case makers are providing an official glimpse at the final designs of the phones.
Venerable leaker Evan Blass recently shared images of Galaxy S26 models housed in UAG cases. The images showcase the rear design of all three models. One image shows the front design and side profile, which will be similar on all three models.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra continues to depart from its Note roots by adopting the rounder corners of the Plus and the standard models.
All three models return to a camera island for the sensors, only this time it is pill-shaped. For the Galaxy S26 Ultra, this means only one sensor remains affixed directly to the back panel.
The images are yet another nod to the rumors that the phones will natively support Qi2 charging.
The bezels look a hair thinner, but it's hard to be certain based on the photos alone.
More changes than the leaks let on
While it's hard to make out every minor change from images, the new phones appear to have softer curves than the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. This change might make fans of boxy aesthetics more receptive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra's updated design while bringing a sense of uniformity to the design of the lineup.

Overall, the devices look more refined than their predecessors, even if not drastically different from them.
