Apple has already launched its iPhone 17 lineup, and now the spotlight shifts toward Samsung’s next flagship series, Galaxy S26. The purported Galaxy S26 Pro has surfaced through a newly leaked CAD render, giving us a closer look at what this device might offer. The upcoming smartphone is expected to be launched in 2026, and hence, these renders provide essential hints about the design and features of the device.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro New Design and Changes
The renders of Galaxy S26 Pro don’t look drastically different from the Galaxy S25. It seems Samsung is sticking with the familiar design approach for Galaxy S26 Pro; however, we can witness subtle refinements.
The rear camera module in Galaxy S26 Pro appears to be somewhat like Galaxy Z Fold 7; nevertheless, it is still making a slight departure from the layout seen on the Galaxy S25. The core design of the smartphone remains recognizable, but this slight change in the camera module could give the phone a fresh look while keeping Samsung’s premium identity intact.
So the Galaxy S26 Pro is here! I honestly like the camera design which is inspired by the Z Fold 7 👀 pic.twitter.com/e5hiIHk8e3

Display Size
The leaked renders further suggest that Galaxy S26 Pro might feature a 6.3-inch display and will have a 149.3 X 71.4 x 6.96mm dimensions. The thickness might extend to 10.23mm, including the camera bump.
However, some inconsistencies remain, as earlier leaks hinted at slightly different measurements. This means we might need to wait until the official launch to know the exact numbers.
No Galaxy S26 Plus
A major leak suggests that Samsung could drop the “Plus” model from the Galaxy S26 lineup, taking a similar approach to Apple, which recently introduced the iPhone 17 Air in place of the iPhone 17 Plus.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup is expected to include the Galaxy S26 Pro, the Galaxy S26 Edge, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. If this happens, the Galaxy S26 Pro will essentially replace the standard model.
Expected Launch Timeline
Samsung is likely to stick to its usual release schedule, which means the Galaxy S26 Pro could make its official debut in January 2026. That’s only a few months away, so fans won’t have to wait too long to see what the final retail version looks like.
