Multiple leaks<\/a> over the past several weeks have told us what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S26 series in the hardware department. Subsequent reporting has revealed that the rear cameras of the upcoming flagships may also witness some visual changes<\/a>. We’re now getting additional visuals of these changes, courtesy of a well-known source of Samsung leaks.<\/p>\n

Prolific leaker @UniverseIce shared an image on X\/Twitter<\/a>, supposedly depicting the rear camera protective covers of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. As we’ve already learned, the Galaxy S26 Edge will introduce more substantial design changes<\/a> compared to the Pro and Ultra variants.<\/p>\n

While comparisons with the iPhone Air are inevitable, the Galaxy S26 Edge has the upper hand over Apple’s thin smartphone, thanks to its dual-camera system. However, it’s too early to ascertain how the Galaxy S26 Edge will fare against the iPhone Air in terms of real-world camera performance, given that the former is yet to be officially launched.<\/p>\n

These camera lens protectors align perfectly with leaked renders<\/p>\n

There are no major surprises with the rear camera protectors of the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra, as they appear to be consistent with renders that surfaced recently<\/a>. The fact that the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s rear camera covers don’t appear to include protection for the fourth camera and the laser autofocus sensor is somewhat strange, though accessory makers will likely fix that when the flagship nears release.<\/p>\n

Leaked renders suggest that three of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s rear cameras will be housed within a vertical pill-shaped camera island, whereas the fourth camera and the autofocus unit will sit flush on the back panel. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Pro will also adopt the vertical camera island for its three sensors.<\/p>\n

While Samsung is expected to shake things up to some extent on the design front, the company could also bundle camera upgrades across the lineup<\/a>. Additionally, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain the 5,000mAh battery pack<\/a> from its predecessor<\/a>, with no changes to its charging speeds either. Some reports initially indicated that the Ultra flagship would make the jump to 60W wired charging speeds<\/a> from the existing 45W standard, but a more recent report appeared to pour cold water<\/a> on the idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Multiple leaks over the past several weeks have told us what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S26…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61,60,202,80],"class_list":["post-21448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
