Galaxy S26 renders are finally here, and they look nothing like the old models. Samsung is officially ditching the individual lens rings for a much more unified, industrial style.
According to case maker, the entire lineup is moving toward a “camera plateau” design. This raised island for the lenses is clearly inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 7 aesthetic.
How Galaxy S26 renders impact the A-series design
The Galaxy S26 renders also show the Ultra model losing its sharp, boxy corners. It’s finally getting a more rounded shape, which should make it much easier to hold without it digging into your palm.
Even the budget-friendly Galaxy A57 and A37 are getting this exact same plateau. It’s great to see the cheaper phones finally looking as premium as the flagship Galaxy S26 renders.
Samsung is clearly trying something new to stop the “every phone looks the same” complaints. Whether you love or hate the plateau, it’s a massive shift from the last three years.
Does this new look make you want to upgrade, or was the old design better? Let’s hope the hardware inside is as fresh as these S26 renders.
