Tip Points to Black-Framed Galaxy S26 Ultra That Could Make Bezels Look Wider

The unverified design tip arrives as leaks depict a Snapdragon-only Ultra with few visible changes from the prior model.

Overview

  • Tipster Ice Universe says the standard black S26 Ultra will swap the usual silver frame for a black one, unlike the broadly available S25 Ultra finishes.
  • The darker frame is expected to make the display border look thicker, though there is no confirmation of an actual bezel size change.
  • A previous S25 Ultra Titanium Jetblack variant used a black frame but was a limited Samsung Store option rather than a standard color.
  • There are still no public images of the S26 Ultra in the regular black finish, leaving the exact shade and appearance uncertain.
  • Recent reporting continues to indicate the Ultra will run Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 only, with a familiar design featuring more rounded edges and a separate camera island, and a launch window still rumored for January.
