The CAD renders of the alleged Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ were shared in a report by Android Headlines in partnership with tipster OnLeaks. The dimensions of the vanilla Galaxy S26 are anticipated to be 149.5 x 71.6 x 7.24 mm. If the camera hump is taken into account, its thickness could rise to 10.44mm.
The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ may have minor design modifications, even though the location of the triple back camera sensors may be the same as the Galaxy S25 range. First, like the Galaxy S25 Edge, the lenses might be positioned on a slightly elevated camera island.
A flat-front display with a central hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera could be included in the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+. According to reports, both displays’ bezels would be small and consistent on all sides. It is anticipated that the volume and power buttons will be located on the right side of the frame. In contrast, the Galaxy S26 series’ frame might be flat, although it might curve toward the corners for improved ergonomics.
