The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks continue to build anticipation ahead of its official launch early next year. For years, Samsung has offered a black option for its flagship Ultra models, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is available in Titanium Black and other color variants. However, the company has never fully embraced a black Ultra flagship model—until now.
In an exciting new development, Ice Universe, a reliable source for Samsung leaks, has revealed that the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature an all-black color option. This version will come with a black frame, replacing the familiar silver frame seen in previous models. The question remains whether this black variant will be an exclusive online release, like the Titanium Jetblack version of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
This new all-black design will make the side bezels of the Galaxy S26 Ultra appear thicker than they actually are. While this could be seen as a potential downside for users who prefer slim bezels, it’s worth noting that Samsung is expected to introduce slimmer bezels for the S26 Ultra, making any perceived thickness more of an optical illusion than an actual issue.
For some, the idea of thicker bezels might raise concerns, but it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is still expected to impress with its other upgrades. These include an OLED M14 panel, which should improve the overall display experience, and a significant boost to wireless charging, jumping from 15W to 25W. Although leaks suggest no major camera upgrades, this hasn’t stopped speculation about potential improvements.
In terms of color options, leaks suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may also offer a vibrant bright orange colorway, reminiscent of the iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange. This is in line with recent trends where flagship color choices, like those from Apple, make waves in the smartphone market, and Samsung could be following suit with bold new hues for its 2026 models.
As we await further details, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra fans are encouraged to take these leaks with a grain of salt, despite the leaker’s strong track record of accuracy.
