A reputable leaker has provided new insights into how the Galaxy S26 Ultra compares to the S25 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Earlier leaks showed the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a more rounded design than the S25 Ultra. Recent images from tipster Ice Universe confirm this update, highlighting noticeably softer corners. This continues the trend of Samsung making Ultra models more comfortable to hold.
“I’m glad to see this trend continuing, as earlier Ultra phones dug into the palms of some users and actually resulted in torn jeans pockets.”
New leaked visuals also compare the Galaxy S26 Ultra to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, revealing that Apple's device is expected to have even more rounded corners than the Samsung model.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra continues Samsung's shift toward a more rounded design for better comfort, while facing potential price hikes and launch delays amid intensifying competition with Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max.
