Leaked: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will get a more rounded design and built-in magnets for Qi2
By ForGeeks
New details about Samsung’s upcoming flagships have leaked online. This time, insider @UniverseIce has revealed the estimated dimensions of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which won’t be released until 2026. Judging by the information, the smartphone will be slightly bigger and will get a redesigned design.
Dimensions and display
It was previously rumored that the Galaxy S26 Ultra would get a larger 6.89-inch screen at the expense of smaller bezels. However, a fresh leak reveals that the diagonal increase will also be accompanied by a larger body.
- Height: 163.4mm (0.6mm more than the Galaxy S25 Ultra)
- Width: 77.9 mm (0.3 mm more)
The Galaxy S25 Ultra was already considered a large smartphone, so even a small increase can have a noticeable impact on usability. To compensate for this, Samsung will allegedly make the corners of the body more rounded – in the style of the Galaxy S21 Ultra from 2021.
The return of “island” cameras
Besides the rounded edges, the Galaxy S26 Ultra may see the return of a design with a camera “island”. It will house three lenses. This would free up additional internal space for larger sensors.
Qi2 and changes in body thickness
The main technical innovation will be support for Qi2 magnetic wireless charging -a first for the Galaxy series. The case will feature built-in magnets similar to those used in the iPhone 17 Pro.

The thickness of the smartphone is rumored to drop from 8.2mm toless than 8mm, making it visually thinner and sleeker. But that will come at a price in terms of battery capacity: the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain the 5,000 mAh battery that’s been in the lineup for several years.

Battery and charging
To make up for the lack of a larger battery, Samsung may introduce 60W wired charging. That’s a noticeable jump from current models, but battery capacity will remain a bottleneck for active users.
