Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Leaks Reveal Colors, Pricing Plans

Samsung has not yet officially unveiled Galaxy S26 Ultra, its next flagship phones. But leaks are already painting a clearer picture of what the Galaxy S26 lineup might look like. Early details suggest familiar color options and little movement on pricing, pointing to a safe, incremental upgrade rather than a major shake-up.

Well-known leaker Evan Blass shared a list of what he claims are the final color options for the Galaxy S26 series on X. Buyers can expect the phones to come in Black, White, Silver Shadow, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet, and Pink Gold.

It’s a clean, polished set of colors, but nothing too flashy. If you were hoping Samsung would go bold with something eye-catching, like Apple’s bright orange iPhone from last year, this lineup might feel a bit tame.

On pricing, there’s some relatively good news.

Korean outlet iNews24 reported that Samsung is trying to keep the Galaxy S26 Ultra—the most expensive model—from going over 2 million won. A Samsung source said the company is “doing their best” to hold the line on prices.

That amount converts to about $1,360, or roughly $60 more than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Since the gap is small, Samsung could still end up keeping prices the same as last year, even as memory chip prices climb because of a global RAM shortage.

Samsung hasn’t yet announced the Galaxy S26 series. But with leaks popping up almost daily, a launch event announcement is expected soon. That should finally clear up what’s real—and what’s not.
