Here's the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra inside another case

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra was showcased in some CAD-based renders late last month, then we saw it in a very iPhone-esque colorway last week, and now it's time to take yet another look at it, this time inside a case.

Another case, to be specific, as we've already seen it in some other cases a while back. The camera island redesign is still present, as you'd expect.

The phone's three camera sensors on the left are now part of a raised oval island, and not just individual circles. This design has been one that Samsung has slowly moved towards over the last year or so, starting with its low-end phones.

We initially thought it was intended to separate its flagships, with individual camera circle-islands, from its cheaper offerings, but apparently not - the company is just moving to this design across its entire smartphone portfolio, it seems.

The S26 Ultra should be using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, though whether that will happen globally or if it will be complemented by the Exynos 2600 in some markets remains to be seen. The entry-level S26 Pro seems to be playing the Exynos game for sure, according to the most recent leak, and the S26 Edge may have just been cancelled.
