In summary:
- Tech Advisor reports that Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks reveal six expected color options including vibrant Cobalt Violet and Sky Blue alongside traditional Black and White variants.
- The S26 series is anticipated to launch February 25th with three models featuring Qi2 wireless charging and upgraded Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processors.
- These colorful options represent a welcome departure from typical flagship aesthetics, potentially appealing to users seeking more expressive smartphone designs.
A pair of leaks from reputable sources have seemingly confirmed the colour options for the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
We’re likely around a month away from the official unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S26 range, and a couple of fresh leaks have given further insight into the look of the flagship Ultra option.
First up we have the king of leakers himself, Evan Blass, who runs through the six colours that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be available in.
Of the six mentioned, we’re most excited to see how the Cobalt Violet turns out, as Galaxy Ultra colour options haven’t always been the most thrilling.
Next up is Samsung rumour specialist Ice Universe, who has posted images of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s SIM tray in four of those six colours.
If we were to hazard a guess, that purple tray represents the Cobalt Violet shade mentioned in the previous post. The others are surely the Sky Blue, Black, and White variants.
Not shown here: Silver Shadow and Pink Gold. We wait with bated breath.
Samsung Galaxy S26 rumours
The leaks are continuing to come forth leading up to the Samsung Galaxy S26 launch, which is expected to come on 25 February. This marks a bit of a delay compared to previous models.
In recent days we’ve seemingly received further confirmation that the series is going to be getting proper Qi2 wireless charging support, with the reveal of a new official Qi2 power bank accessory.
Otherwise, we’re not expecting a huge update on the Samsung Galaxy S25. There’ll be the usual performance upgrade, courtesy of the Exynos 2600 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (depending on the region), but otherwise things will be broadly similar.
That should mean Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra options. Early rumours of a partial switch up to Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge models now seem wide of the mark.
