Samsung’s next flagship lineup is already making headlines months ahead of launch. Fresh Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra design leaks have surfaced online, revealing colour options, SIM tray details, charging upgrades and clarity on the final models coming to market.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Colour Options Leak
Popular tipster Ice Universe has shared leaked images of the Galaxy S26 Ultra SIM trays, hinting at the phone’s main colour variants. According to the leaks, Samsung is expected to launch the S26 Ultra in four primary shades:
- Black Shadow
- White Shadow
- Galactical Blue
- Ultraviolet (likely the hero colour)
Among these, Ultraviolet is said to be Samsung’s signature shade for marketing and promotions, similar to how the brand highlights one standout colour every year. Additional shades like orange or beige could arrive later as online exclusive options, especially for select regions.
Dual SIM Support (Region-Dependent)
The leaked SIM tray images also suggest dual physical SIM support on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, Samsung may still offer:
- eSIM-only variants
- Hybrid SIM options
This will likely vary by market and carrier, including the UAE.
Galaxy S26 Series: Charging & Battery Details
Another leak sheds light on charging speeds and battery upgrades across the Galaxy S26 lineup. Here are the expected battery and charging specs:
Galaxy S26 (Base model)
- 4,300mAh battery
- 25W charging (lower than earlier rumours)
Galaxy S26 Plus
- 4,900mAh battery
- 45W charging (unchanged from predecessor)
Galaxy S26 Ultra
- 5,000mAh battery
- 60W fast charging (notable upgrade)
For power users in the UAE, the Ultra’s faster charging could be a major selling point, especially for heavy media, gaming and travel use.

No “Galaxy S26 Pro” After All
Despite earlier speculation about a Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro, fresh information confirms that Samsung is sticking with its traditional lineup:
- Galaxy S26
- Galaxy S26 Plus
- Galaxy S26 Ultra
A leaked promotional document from Samsung Colombia accidentally confirmed these three models. Plans to introduce a Galaxy S26 Edge or rename the base model were reportedly dropped due to weak market response.

Possible Price Increase in 2026
Samsung executives have hinted that price increases are likely due to rising memory and component costs. While the company aims to minimise the impact on customers, the UAE buyers should be prepared for either higher launch prices or fewer early discounts compared to previous years.
