A fresh leak strongly suggests Samsung has finalized the Galaxy S26 Ultra color lineup, matching earlier reports and giving us a clear look at what to expect.
What’s new
- Four finishes were spotted via SIM tray components, pointing to the launch palette:
- Black Shadow (black)
- White Shadow (white)
- Galactical Blue (blue)
- Ultraviolet (purple)
Samsung typically adds online-exclusive shades, so additional colors are likely at launch. For context, the Galaxy S25 Ultra offered special green and pink options on Samsung’s website.
Why it matters
- Ultraviolet brings a bold purple option to the range, tapping into the wider purple trend across premium phones.
- Black returns as a staple choice, a contrast to some rival flagships that have stepped away from true black on their top-tier models.
Beyond the paint job
- Rumored upgrades alongside the new colors include faster charging, a new privacy display designed to shield on-screen content from side glances, and a modest battery capacity increase over the long-standing 5,000 mAh standard.
We’ll know the full picture once Samsung formally announces the device, but for now these color names and finishes look close to final.
