A trusted leaker has provided new details comparing the Galaxy S26 Ultra to the S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Earlier leaks revealed the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature a more rounded design than the S25 Ultra. Renowned tipster Ice Universe shared images and a video emphasizing the S26 Ultra’s smoother corners compared to its predecessor, which already had softened edges compared to previous Ultra models.
"The pictures indeed reveal more rounded corners than Samsung’s current flagship phone, which in turn had more rounded corners than previous Ultra phones."
This design shift is welcomed, since older Ultra models caused discomfort and even damaged some users’ jeans pockets.
The leak also includes a side-by-side image comparing the Galaxy S26 Ultra with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. It shows that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have even rounder corners than the upcoming Samsung device.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is evolving towards a more ergonomic design with rounded corners, competing closely with the iPhone 17 Pro Max, though potential price hikes and launch delays loom.
