Familiar Design Approach
Samsung appears to be sticking with its minimal upgrade strategy. The Galaxy S26 Ultra looks very similar to the S25 Ultra, focusing more on refinements than a major redesign.

Bigger Selfie Camera Housing
The punch-hole cutout looks larger on the S26 Ultra, hinting at a possible front camera upgrade, though detailed specifications are still unclear.

More Rounded Corners
Samsung is expected to increase the corner radius on the S26 Ultra, giving the phone a softer and more rounded appearance compared to the sharper S25 Ultra.
