Things should get pretty interesting from now until Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Unpacked <\/a>event, which is less than two weeks away. That\u2019s where we\u2019ll likely get our first official look at the entire Galaxy S26<\/a> lineup. Today\u2019s leak comes to us from none other than Evan Blass<\/a>, who shared renders of all three models in every launch shade.<\/p>\n

If simply knowing the options isn\u2019t enough for you, the leaked renders also reveal more about each phone\u2019s design \u2014 including the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> and its color-matched S Pen. What\u2019s apparent from these images is a more consistent color palette across all three models, but I\u2019m betting this isn\u2019t the full story and that we\u2019ll see some online-exclusive shades at launch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are the new colors to expect for the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.<\/p>\n

Starting with the base model, the Galaxy S26 is arriving in four distinct colors. While you can\u2019t go wrong with Black or White \u2014 especially if you intend on using a case \u2014 Cobalt Violet and Sky Blue inject some much-needed personality into the lineup.<\/p>\n

Between the two, the Cobalt Violet stands out from the pack with a deeper, moodier tone compared to the Navy finish we saw on the Galaxy S25.<\/p>\n

Next up in the lineup is the “middle child”: the Galaxy S26 Plus. Early rumors hinted at Samsung sunsetting the Plus model<\/a>, but apparently, poor sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge<\/a> have forced Samsung to reconsider \u2014 so it appears the Plus will live on for at least another year.<\/p>\n

Just like its smaller sibling, the Galaxy S26 Plus will feature the same color options: Black, White, Cobalt Violet, and Sky Blue. Upon closer inspection of the leaked renders, the button placements and layout appear to be identical to the base S26. However, the S26 Plus is noticeably taller, and the bezels wrapping around the display appear ever so slightly thinner.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not as compelled by the Galaxy S26 Plus, given how Samsung has eventually released an updated \u201cFE\u201d model over the past couple of years \u2014 which offers most of the best parts of the Plus, but for far less.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra colors<\/p>\n

Finally, there is the top-of-the-line Galaxy S26 Ultra. We\u2019ve seen countless leaks of this best phone<\/a> contender, but these new renders reveal a clever design tweak. Not only does the Ultra arrive in the same launch shades as its siblings \u2014 Black, White, Cobalt Violet, and Sky Blue \u2014 but the S Pen\u2019s top clicker is now color-matched to the phone’s frame.<\/p>\n

We also get a clear view of the refined camera layout, which houses three primary lenses, with the fourth lens, LED flash, and the proximity sensor positioned separately to the side. Interestingly, based on the leaked color names, it appears Samsung is ditching the titanium frame entirely, which I suspect would be swapped for its latest Armor Aluminum material.<\/p>\n

Knowing that, it will be interesting to see how the new model holds up in terms of durability and heat management compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n

More colors<\/p>\n

In years past, Samsung has often kept to the ritual of giving the same color options to its base and Plus models, while the Ultra received its own exclusive set. However, that doesn\u2019t appear to be the case this time, as all three phones are sporting the same launch palette.<\/p>\n

I suspect we\u2019ll also see Samsung Store exclusive colors announced alongside these standard shades at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. If not, additional options could certainly arrive later in the year. One of the biggest rumors currently floating around is a bright orange version<\/a> that would rival the iPhone 17 Pro Max\u2019s Cosmic Orange<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking a look at the current Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus lineup<\/a>, Samsung offers online exclusives like Pinkgold, Coralred, and Blueblack, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra features Titanium Jadegreen, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Pinkgold.<\/p>\n

I would honestly love to see a bright orange Galaxy S26 Ultra, seeing that more vibrant tones could easily translate to better sales for Samsung. Plus, it helps to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n
