Samsung’s next flagship, the Galaxy S26 Edge, is back in the spotlight thanks to a fresh batch of leaked renders. Shared by reliable leaker OnLeaks in partnership with Android Headlines, the images suggest Samsung is preparing one of its biggest design changes in years.
The renders show the S26 Edge with a wide camera island stretching across the back, holding the dual rear cameras and an LED flash on the far left. It’s a sharp departure from Samsung’s usual minimalist approach, and it happens to look somewhat similar to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models. Phone skin maker dbrand has already teased those designs ahead of Apple’s September 9 event, adding weight to the comparison.
From the front, the S26 Edge keeps things clean with slim, uniform bezels and a centered punch-hole selfie camera. The sides are rounded off more than the S25 Edge, with curves at the rear for a softer feel in the hand. Interestingly, renders of the Ultra model show a similar redesign. Buttons stay on the right, so the layout should still feel familiar to existing Samsung users.
These renders aren’t final, but they match dummy units that have been circulating recently, lending the leak some extra credibility. What’s less clear is why Samsung needs the additional space inside. The Galaxy S25 Edge’s 200MP ISOCELL HP2 comes in at 1/1.3”, while the ISOCELL HP3 is even smaller. Even with an upgraded 50MP ultrawide sensor, as previously rumored, the module would still be much smaller than the main camera and wouldn’t normally require such a large protrusion.
If the renders prove accurate, the S26 Edge could mark a shift in Samsung’s design identity—one that leans closer to Apple’s new style and sets up a fresh round of comparisons between the two tech giants.
