A well-known leaker has provided new images and a video comparing the Galaxy S26 Ultra to the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Earlier renders showed the Galaxy S26 Ultra adopting a more rounded design compared to the S25 Ultra. Recent leaks from tipster Ice Universe confirm this trend, displaying noticeably softer corners than the current flagship. This design shift continues Samsung's move toward comfort, addressing previous complaints about earlier Ultra models digging into users' palms or damaging clothing pockets.
Images also compare the Galaxy S26 Ultra to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, revealing that Apple’s upcoming phone will feature even more rounded corners than Samsung’s next flagship device.
“I’m glad to see this trend continuing, as earlier Ultra phones dug into the palms of some users and actually resulted in torn jeans pockets.”
Summary: The Galaxy S26 Ultra's design features softer, more rounded corners for improved comfort, positioning it between the S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max in terms of curvature, while its launch may be delayed and priced higher due to component costs.
