The leaked computer-aided design (CAD) renders of the purported Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro and the Galaxy S26 Edge surfaced earlier this month, and now it appears to be the turn for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. As per a report, the anticipated successor to the Galaxy S25 Ultra could witness two design changes, one affecting the rear camera module, while the other makes it more ergonomic. The smartphone is also said to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Design, Specifications (Expected)Android Headlines collaborated with tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) to leak CAD renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. The renders showcase the smartphone in a black colourway, although it is unconfirmed whether that will be part of the official lineup. Based on earlier leaks, the company’s next year’s flagship smartphone series could include the Galaxy S26 Pro, the Galaxy S26 Edge, which replaces the Plus model, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra.Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra CAD render

The back panel is also flat, and the cameras are arranged in the same layout as its predecessor. If the renders are to be believed, the handset is not expected to get any major design overhaul like its rival, the iPhone 17 Pro Max.However, there are two changes. First, the edges are now rounder, replacing the sharp edges from the previous generation. This also addresses the complaints of several users who stated that the handset digs into their palms.The second change affects the camera module. The tech giant appears to be opting for a hybrid design where three lenses are raised on a module, while the fourth lens and the LED flash directly protrude from the back panel. Notably, the same pill-shaped camera module was also spotted in the leaked Galaxy S26 Pro renders.Coming to specifications, rumours claim that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Although some markets might see the handset powered by the company’s in-house Exynos 2600 chipset. The device is also said to feature the new M14 OLED screen, which comes with a new Colour Filter on Encapsulation (CoE) technology, allowing the display to be thinner while improving light transmission.There are some debates on the wired charging support of the smartphone. As per the report, some rumours claim that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could retain the 45W charging support seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while others claim that it could support 60W wired charging.

3 ways I make NotebookLM my personal sidekick
NotebookLM is marketed as a research and notes companion, but honestly, I don’t quite use it the way Google had intended. The “official” pitch is that you upload documents, and it helps you pull insights and keep track of sources. This is undoubtedly useful for things like academic work, but it can also get boring if that’s all you use it for. Source: xda-developers.com … [Read More...]
I didn't know the Obsidian Reminder plugin existed, but it's exactly what I needed
I run my entire life out of my Obsidian vault, but until now, something has been missing. I've tried multiple to-do apps, but none of those really checked all the boxes — and then I stumbled across the Obsidian Reminder plugin. This small, simple plugin has become an essential part of my workflow. I already struggle to remember things — if it isn't written down, it doesn't exist — but with a … [Read More...]
Opera is bringing a huge wave of free AI tools to its browsers
A few days ago, Opera broke the news that my favorite AI browser was getting a general release.

4 cheap PC parts I’ll never buy again
Building a PC is an exciting rite of passage for any tech enthusiast. There's an overwhelming breadth of options available at every budget. However, this low barrier to entry is a double-edged sword. It’s incredibly tempting for a novice or first-time PC builder to look at a compatibility list and pair an upper-mid tier CPU and gaming GPU with an affordable $80 motherboard. I've been tempted too, … [Read More...]
I replaced WSL with a full Linux VM, and here’s why it's actually better
Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, has been an incredibly welcome addition to Windows for those who enjoy developing and tinkering with Linux distributions. The lightweight, easy-to-setup nature of these instances is perfect for anyone looking to run Linux tools without needing to leave their primary OS. Once I started to use non-native packages and stepped outside of basic command-line tasks, I … [Read More...]
RGB is secretly the worst bloatware on your PC
If your PC features a lot of RGB lighting, chances are you've got software to manage it. While proprietary RGB software will give you complete control over your lighting, most RGB control software consumes hardware resources to run on a consistent basis. This is especially true of most OEMs' proprietary RGB management software, like Asus Armoury Crate, MSI Center, or Razer Synapse. Source: … [Read More...]
This cute open-source notes app killed Google Keep for me
Google Keep has been my go-to for jotting down quick ideas and making lists. It’s minimal, dead easy to navigate, and also just a tap away on my phone. I love it for its simplicity which allows me to quickly dump half-formed notes. But over time, I started to hit a ceiling. My notes became a messy scroll of colorful squares without folders or real structure. I also wasn’t a fan of my notes being … [Read More...]
The best smart rings for 2025
It’s getting increasingly difficult to say smart rings are just a niche inside the broader world of wearable technology. The raft of celebrities who are seen wearing them, the NBA’s use of Oura rings as an early warning system against COVID-19 and, last year, Samsung’s entry into the market has made them far more prominent in the minds of mainstream consumers. We’ve tested plenty of smart … [Read More...]
