A leak reveals the possible redesign of the Galaxy S26 Ultra,in Silver shadow color,with visible changes in the camera module
Leaks are once again getting ahead of Samsung‘s schedule. More than a month remains until its official presentation, but the first real (although unofficial) images of the galaxy S26 Ultra have already begun to circulate, which points to becoming the next great reference of the Korean brand. And although it is advisable to take them with some caution, what we have seen so far offers fairly clear clues about where the design and overall approach of the device will go.
And no, this is not the first time the Galaxy S26 Ultra has appeared early: at the end of December we already told you that its new flagship had been seen in video thanks to a leak from onleaks,another clue that Samsung is preparing critically important changes in this generation.
A new camera design that breaks with the past
The photographs collected by the medium PhoneArena have been published by the account @SaudiAndroid and, at first glance, show a terminal that appears to be fully functional. Though, a more detailed analysis suggests that it might very well be an advanced mockup, something common in this pre-launch phase, as many accessory manufacturers use prototypes to design cases and accessories ahead of time. Even so, these types of units are usually surprisingly faithful to the final product, so they serve as a reliable reference.
The most obvious change is on the back. The Galaxy S26
Xiaomi 14 Series Launch and Availability
According to a report from Andro4all (an untrusted source), Xiaomi plans to officially unveil the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro on February 25th. The article suggests the launch event will feature detailed specifications and imagery of the new devices, possibly including official promotional materials. Retail availability is projected for March 11th, two weeks following the proclamation.
Verification Status (as of January 22, 2026, 13:17:12 UTC):
While the Andro4all article provides dates, independent verification is crucial. A search reveals that Xiaomi did announce the Xiaomi 14 series on February 25, 2024. Though, availability dates varied by region.
* official Xiaomi Announcement: https://www.mi.com/global/press/xiaomi-14-series-global-launch confirms the February 25th announcement date.
* GSMArena Report (February 29, 2024): https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_14_and_14_pro_go_on_sale_in_china_starting_today-news-57711.php indicates the phones went on sale in China on February 29, 2024, not March 11th.
* Android Authority (March 11, 2024): https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-14-global-launch-3402944/ confirms a global launch event on March 11, 2024, but this was a separate event after the initial Chinese launch.
Therefore, the original article’s claim of a March 11th launch date is partially inaccurate. While March 11th was a significant date for the series, it marked the global launch event, not the initial retail availability.
