A well-known leaker has revealed new details about how the Galaxy S26 Ultra compares to both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Earlier this year, leaked renders showed the S26 Ultra featuring a more rounded design than the S25 Ultra.
Tipster Ice Universe shared multiple images and a video comparing the S26 Ultra’s design with the S25 Ultra. The new model continues to refine the trend of rounded corners, which started with the current flagship. Previous Ultra phones had sharper edges that caused discomfort and even tore jeans pockets for some users.
The leak also includes a side-by-side image of the Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max, showing that the iPhone will feature even more rounded corners than Samsung’s upcoming device.
