Samsung is gearing up for the Galaxy S26 series launch early next year, and the excitement just got real. Instead of waiting for traditional leaks, Samsung itself has accidentally spilled the beans through its One UI 8.5 software.
Official Renders Surface in One UI 8.5
Digging into the latest One UI 8.5 software, we uncovered official renders of the Galaxy S26 lineup. The images reveal the back designs of the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Interestingly, the phones appear under codenames M1, M2, and M3 respectively, matching previous leak reports.
Design Details Confirmed
The Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus show a familiar vertically stacked triple camera setup housed in a sleek camera island. This aligns perfectly with earlier renders from trusted leaker Steve ‘OnLeaks’ Hemmerstoffer.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s design also matches prior leaks, featuring three vertically aligned rear cameras plus two additional sensors beside the main housing, promising a powerful photography experience.
Charging Gets a Boost?
Beyond design, the One UI 8.5 teardown hints at new charging tech. References to “Super Fast Wireless Charging” and “Super Fast Charging 3.0” suggest Samsung may be pushing faster wired and wireless charging speeds for the Galaxy S26 series.
While APK teardowns give us a sneak peek at potential features, keep in mind these might not all make it to the final release. Still, this leak from Samsung’s own software adds strong credibility to the Galaxy S26 design rumors.
