What you need to know

  • Thinborne's case listings appear to confirm the leaked Galaxy S26 Ultra design ahead of Samsung's launch.
  • The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to feature a refined design with rounded corners.
  • With the February 25, 2026 launch approaching, more leaks are now aligning around the same final S26 Ultra design.

If there were any doubts about the Galaxy S26 Ultra's design, what appears to be an early case listing from a popular case maker has now seemingly confirmed it.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 series in a couple of months. If recent leaks are accurate, Samsung will host the Galaxy S26 launch event on February 25, 2026. Ahead of that, plenty of rumors have already outlined what to expect from the upcoming flagships.

All Galaxy S26 models are expected to support Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra should also get a larger battery and faster charging. Several leaks have suggested the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature design tweaks, including more rounded corners than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which should improve how it feels in the hand.

The phone is also expected to adopt a slightly tweaked camera design with three lenses in the pill-shaped, slightly lifted island on the left and two sensors positioned to the right, and that design now appears to be confirmed by case maker Thinborne.

Case listings hint at what the S26 Ultra may look like

Popular case maker Thinborne seems to have accidentally published the Galaxy S26 Ultra case listing ahead of Samsung's official announcement next month. The listings appear to confirm earlier leaks about the phone's design, all of which can be seen in the images below.

The image shows slightly raised cutouts for the pill-shaped camera sensors on the left, along with rounded corners on the phone itself. It doesn't reveal much else, but it also appears to show the orange color option for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which has been rumored before and could compete with the iPhone 17 Pro's orange finish.

Of course, nothing is final since case makers often work from early CAD renders, but with multiple leaks pointing to the same design, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to look very close to this.

With the Galaxy S26 series launch only a couple of months away, we should get a much clearer picture in the coming weeks.
