Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra price drops to $961, while S27 Ultra CAD renders reveal new camera design
Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra drops to $961 on Amazon, while new CAD renders hint at a major camera redesign for the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. It comes with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options up to 1TB. The camera system includes a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, a 50MP 5x telephoto, a 10MP 3x telephoto, and a 12MP front camera. Samsung has also made the phone slimmer and lighter than its predecessor at about 7.9mm thick and 214g, while keeping a 5,000mAh battery. It runs Android 16 with One UI 8.5 and Galaxy AI features.
In separate news, new CAD-based renders of the upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra have surfaced, created by Android Headlines in collaboration with leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer. These renders are based on leaked CAD files and depict a phone with a whole new camera system, suggesting Samsung may be trying a bold design change for next year's flagship. The renders show an unusual camera layout, though specific details about the design have not been disclosed.
Recent Samsung year-to-year refreshes have felt relatively minor, but the leaks for the S27 series point to a more noticeable shift in appearance. The CAD renders offer a near-commercial look at how the S27 Ultra could appear, adding to earlier reports that the company is exploring a new direction in design.
