Galaxy S26 Ultra dummy units have popped up online, showing off three possible colors and stirring up quite the buzz among fans.

Orange takes center stage

A fresh leak from a not-so-well-known source (so, take it all with a grain of salt) just surfaced online, showing what are allegedly dummy units of the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. And if it’s real, Samsung might be going bold this year with a new orange color. Yes, orange.

We have seen orange before on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but this one looks a lot more intense – think iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange kind of vibe. The leak quickly made its way to X, too, where even more reliable leakers picked it up, and fans had mixed reactions. Let’s just say, not everyone’s loving the idea of an Ultra that bright.

That said, the color does match up nicely with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra, which also came in a similar vibrant orange. So if you like your gadgets to pop, this might actually be the perfect combo.

The other two color options spotted in the leak are way calmer – one looks like the familiar Whitesilver, while the other leans towards Titanium Gray. Of course, lighting, camera angles, and materials can all play tricks on the eyes, so we will have to wait for confirmation before locking these in as the final shades.

A sneak peek at design changes

While everyone’s busy arguing about colors, there is something way more interesting going on here – the design. The dummy units clearly show even more rounded corners and a color-matched camera bump.

From the looks of it, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could be moving closer in style to the Galaxy S25 Edge, and that might actually be intentional. Samsung seems to be aligning its design language across the lineup.

Next year’s lineup could even change in structure – with the regular model possibly replaced by a Galaxy S26 Pro, the Plus reportedly dropped in favor of the Galaxy S26 Edge, and the Ultra staying on top.

If that turns out to be true, making all models visually connected does make sense. Still, not all Galaxy fans will be happy about it – especially those who liked how the Ultra stood out with its boxier, more distinct look.

Samsung might be rounding off the Ultra’s corners this time. You’re into that?

Yeah, looks smoother and more modern.

Don’t rush to conclusions just yet

Before we start the whole Apple vs Samsung debate again, it’s good to remember that these are just alleged dummy units. Nothing’s confirmed until Samsung actually unveils the phone – or at least until more solid leaks back this up. Still, for now, it looks like orange might just be the new black.
