Leaked image shows Samsung likely took inspiration from Apple for the Galaxy S26 Ultra's colorway

08 October 2025
Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in that color last month.

Sort by:

The fake AI leaks have arrived. First it happened with the OnePlus 15 and now it's happening with the S26 Ultra.

At most if Samsung does do an orange color it's probably going to be a website exclusive color like they did with the S24 Ultra and it's orange colorway.

    If the colors are correct grey/silver looks the best.

      the absolute state of these comments about a likely fake AI render. "ackshually Motorola ripped off the color orange from a nectarine, which is basically an orange Ultra (name is designed to DECEIVE people😡) , they did it first but everyone steals but samesung is bad and so is apple." that sums up the other 75 comments. lol

            Anonymous, 08 Oct 2025but the S22 U colorway was much much more elegant... not li... moreFriend of mine had a S22U in that orange colour, looked much better in real compared to pictures.

            He went S25U whitesilver 3 months ago, his S22U battery was done (3 hours of SoT at best, Exynos model btw)

              Article writer: Samsung literally had a colourway similar to this for the S24: Sandstone Orange. If anything, clearly Apple took cues from Samsung.

                    Can't wait for the Galaxy S27/S28 Ultra where Samsung will adopt a super round quad-curved glass everything design riiiight before/after Apple is planning to release the iPhone 20 with Glasswing design and Samsung fanboys will say that actually the Samsung is inspired by the Galaxy S10 or something 😃

                      Koishi Komeiji, 08 Oct 2025How about straps? I guessed it's similar to. Honest... moreStraps are similar, but they aren't identical. The watches themselves don't look similar at all. Omega Seamaster bracelets are similar to the Rolex Oyster bracelets, but people don't say that they are copies. If you're interested in watches, you will notice that many bracelets are similar. Also, I hope that you know that square watches existed long before Apple was founded.

                        Technically, cmf Phone (1) was the first one in couple years to use orange☝️🤓

                          Not many people may remember this but the orange colorway really looked good with the Apple iPod nano 4th generation in 2008. I never saw a gadget look so good in orange until I saw that iPod. Then Nokia released the N8 in orange in 2010 and that was fire! The iPod nano 4th gen and Nokia N8 are legends for orange pocketable gadgets.

                            PS Vita, 08 Oct 2025 Apple copied this from Android - Widgets Third-party ... moreYou are right

                            Companies copying a single innovative or more from company could change the further industry.

                            Times ahead, even Consumers / Customers were suggested alot of features for further release.

                                Or maybe Apple took inspiration from Samsungs orange colored S24?

                                  Haidzvl, 08 Oct 2025That orange color on ip 17pm is js a coppy from ss f55 lmao... more???

                                    Apple ripped off Palm with threaded messages and swipe gestures. Ripped off BlackBerry with BBM and calling it iMessage. Ripped off Motorola with raised to wake and adding a fingerprint scanner. Ripped off dual front speakers from HTC. Apple didn't add dust and water resistance until the iPhone 7 in 2016 when Xperia Z had it by 2013.

                                    Apple will eventually release a foldable next year or in 2027 when those have been around since 2019 spearheaded by Samsung. Apple followed Samsung when it comes to OLED and bigger displays. Copied the S-Pen with their own Apple Pencil. Apple has copied way more from others than what the others have copied from Apple.

                                    Samsung makes their own SoCs and memory storage. Makes their own displays. They can manufacture a phone totally in-house if they wanted to. Apple needs others to help them build their own products. Samsung copies a color and all of sudden they're the copycats when Apple has consistently done it themselves. Liquid glass is a theme you could do on Android ages ago.

                                    I've used iOS for 17 years and Android for 14 years. That's a decade and a half for both. Honestly, who cares who copied who? We get better products because of it. The gist of it is that Google and all the Android OEMs did copy the iPhone first with the UI and app store. With the multi-touch technology. Then Apple repeatedly copied features from Android and others for the past decade that iOS is becoming more like Android.

                                    LG copied double tap to wake from Nokia. Sony copied Nintendo's RumblePak but improved it with their DualShock controller. Everyone copies everyone.

                                        Jeez people, now the even colour is bothering you?!?!?!
