Each year, new smartphones incorporate at least minor aesthetic changes, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra appears to be no exception. Leaks suggest that this upcoming model will be distinguished by a redesigned camera housing, possibly bringing back the camera plateau. Interestingly, recent rumors indicate that the S26 Ultra will also feature a more prominent front-facing camera. This means Samsung is likely emphasizing the phone’s imaging capabilities on both the front and back.
For those curious about specifics, the Infinity-O selfie camera cutout on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is reported to have a diameter of 4mm, making it the largest of its kind in any Galaxy S Ultra model so far. This is particularly intriguing since the front-facing sensor is expected to remain unchanged from the S25 Ultra.
Additionally, screen protectors suggest another design shift: the S26 Ultra will have rounder corners compared to its predecessor. This design choice could potentially harmonize with the larger selfie camera cutout, although it’s unclear whether this was a deliberate aesthetic decision by Samsung. Some speculate it might be related to cost considerations, but other factors could also be involved.
As for the base Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26+ models, it remains to be seen if they will also adopt the larger Infinity-O cutouts, as they are likely to share the same selfie camera as the Ultra model.
