Any resemblance is coincidental, but yes, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be released in orange

In early October, the reputable insider Ice Universe reported that Samsung would offer buyers of the new Galaxy S26 Ultra flagship several color options, including orange.

It's evident that this design decision was inspired by Apple since the iPhone 17 Pro Max was released in this color and is hugely popular.

Now this information has been confirmed.

What's known

Samsung is not revealing any information about the Galaxy S26, but another leak has been discovered this time in the beta version of the One UI 8.5 firmware, where a data miner with the nickname wr3cckl3ss1 discovered wallpapers for the Ultra model, and each color corresponds to a specific body.

Following fashion trends, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will offer black, white, silver, and purple colors, and they will likely become standard options. However, orange and turquoise colors may become exclusives of the official Samsung store or regional offerings — similar to the S24 and S25 series.

The authenticity of the leak was confirmed by Ice Universe.

Let us remind you, from other leaks it is known that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will receive a 6.9 AMOLED screen, up to 16 GB of RAM, and up to 1 TB of flash memory (in the top configuration), a 5000 mAh battery, 60 W+ charging, and wireless Qi2. The high performance is ensured by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The camera module of the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have three powerful sensors (200, 50, 50 MP), and to the right of them, Samsung will place autofocus with laser guidance and a fourth camera (12 MP).

According to insiders, the Galaxy Unpacked event, where the Galaxy S26 lineup will be presented, will take place on February 25, 2026 in San Francisco, but official information has not yet been received.
