Just one day after a leak pointed to four color options for the
Galaxy S26 Ultra, a new report suggests that is not the case. Samsung may be preparing an even wider selection for its next flagship.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Will Have a Wide Array of Color Tones
This time, the information comes from well-known leaker Evan Blass (via
GSMArena), who shared what appears to be the full list of color variants planned for the
Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the post, Samsung could release the device in six finishes: black, white, silver shadow, sky blue, cobalt violet, and pink gold. Apparently, we won't see the Orange Color, and the
Ultra won't mimic Apple's Orange color option.
If accurate, this would be a notable expansion over yesterday’s leak, which mentioned only four colorways: Black Shadow, White Shadow, Glacial Blue, and Ultraviolet. While the names differ slightly, some of the shades may overlap in tone. The other colors, such as Pink Gold and Cobalt Violet, would be entirely new additions. Interestingly, this indicates a major overhaul for the Ultra series. The first devices in this lineup had just one or two color options and in a very sober tone, like gray or black.
Perhaps Not All Color Options Will Be Available at Launch
Conflicting leaks like this are not unusual ahead of a flagship launch, especially when it comes to colors. Samsung has a long history of offering exclusive finishes through its official online store, while limiting carrier and retail partners to a smaller selection. This strategy allows the company to experiment with bolder colors without committing to a full global rollout.
Because of that, the
Galaxy S26 Ultra may debut with four standard colors at retail, while additional finishes remain exclusive to Samsung’s website. This approach would explain the discrepancy between the two reports and fits well with Samsung’s recent launch patterns.
Quick highlights
- New leak claims Galaxy S26 Ultra will launch in six colors
- The report comes from a reliable tipster, Evan Blass
- Listed colors include pink, gold, and cobalt violet
- Conflicts with an earlier leak that mentioned four variants
- Some colors may be exclusive to Samsung’s online store
At this stage, Samsung has not officially confirmed any color options for the
Galaxy S26 Ultra. As usual, more details should emerge as the launch window gets closer. Until then, these leaks offer an early look at how Samsung might differentiate its next Ultra model visually, especially for buyers who value aesthetics as much as specs.
Samsung is yet to reveal the exact launch date for its
Galaxy S26 series smartphones. The lineup will include the vanilla, Plus, and Ultra models. Other rumored devices like the Galaxy
S26 Edge or the so-called Galaxy S26 Pro won't be available at this first moment. We expect an official confirmation of the launch date in the coming days.
