As Samsung prepares for the next generation of its smartphones, early accessories are offering a quiet preview of what the Galaxy S26 lineup may bring. Newly surfaced images of protective cases and screen accessories believed to be made for the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra suggest that Samsung is leaning toward continuing along a familiar design path while making selective visual changes.
Based on these case renders, the Galaxy S26 series appears to closely follow the visual language of last year’s models, with one notable exception. A vertically aligned pill shaped camera module groups 3 camera lenses into a single housing. This approach differs from the Galaxy S25 series, which used a more separated camera layout. Interestingly, this camera styling already exists elsewhere in Samsung’s portfolio, having appeared on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This may point to a broader effort to unify design across Samsung’s premium devices.
The leaked cases also suggest wider support for Qi2 wireless c charging, with built in magnets visible across the lineup. All three models are shown in light coloured finishes, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra stands out with a 4 camera rear setup and a subtly curved top edge designed to better accommodate the S Pen. These small ergonomic changes indicate a more focus more on practical upgrades.
Alongside third party accessories, Samsung is expected to introduce several official cases when the phones launch, as well as a new 25W Qi2 compatible wireless charging puck. While none of these details have been officially confirmed, the accessory leaks provide a practical glimpse into how Samsung may position its next lineup.
