The hype surrounding Samsung’s next-generation flagship keeps building. In a recent development, a leak revealed a set of alleged wallpapers for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. These images offer some visual clues about the phone‘s aesthetic. More specifically, they could serve as a teaser for the colors in which the device might be available.
Samsung Galaxy S26 color options hinted in leaked wallpapers
The leaked images—shared by tech tipster @wr3cckl3ss1—feature abstract designs. All of them feature a prominent “S-shape” in the center, likely nodding to the “S” series branding. While the central design remains consistent, the wallpapers come in a variety of vibrant color palettes.
This variation has raised speculations among the tech community. Samsung usually integrates wallpapers that match the colors of its Galaxy S handsets. Therefore, the different hues shared in the latest leak likely hint at some of the official color options Samsung plans to offer for the Galaxy S26 series—or at least for the “Ultra” model. The rumored colors currently include shades like Mint, Coral, Black, Violet, Silver, and Grey.
A particular orange-hued wallpaper has drawn significant attention. This one aligns with recent rumors suggesting that Samsung is considering introducing an orange variant for its premium flagship model. This way, the company would offer an alternative in tone to the popular orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro.
Early glimpse at a changed lineup
Samsung has not officially confirmed any details about the S26 series. However, early leaks like this often set the initial tone for consumer expectations. The leak comes at a key time when the Galaxy S26 lineup is rumored to be undergoing last-minute changes. The company seeks to balance the set of features with the profit margin per unit.
Historically, not all Galaxy S models ship in every available color variant. Samsung often reserves exclusive colors for certain markets or even for its online store. Therefore, the six potential colors seen in the wallpapers may not apply equally across the base, Plus, and Ultra models.
The Galaxy S26 series official launch is still months away, expected sometime in early 2026.
