Galaxy S26 Ultra Leak: Samsung Copies iPhone 17’s Bold Orange Twist?

Samsung’s next flagship smartphone series, the Galaxy S26 lineup, is expected to debut in January 2026. Ahead of its official launch, leaks surrounding the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G have intensified, with new dummy unit images circulating online that highlight key design changes and fresh colour options.

According to images shared by tipsters on social media platform X, the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G is shown in three colour variants — Orange, Silver, and Gold. The Orange edition, in particular, has drawn attention for its resemblance to Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro “Cosmic Orange” finish, suggesting Samsung may be aiming to appeal to a similar design trend this year.

The leaked visuals also indicate a new camera setup. The Galaxy S26 Ultra appears to feature a redesigned rear module, with three cameras placed inside a pill-shaped frame and two additional sensors, along with an LED flash, positioned separately. Early reports claim the smartphone could be slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Although the dummy units provide a closer look at potential design choices, Samsung has not verified their authenticity. These leaks remain unofficial, and confirmation about the actual appearance of the Galaxy S26 Ultra will only be available after the company’s formal reveal.

Samsung typically introduces its S-series flagships in January or early February, and industry watchers expect a similar schedule for the Galaxy S26 range. The lineup is likely to be powered by the next-generation Exynos or Snapdragon processor, depending on the market, and could offer configurations up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.
