The Galaxy S26 Ultra features notably more rounded corners than the current Galaxy S25 Ultra, which already had softer edges than previous Ultra models.
“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.”

Author’s summary: The Galaxy S26 Ultra adopts a softer, more ergonomic design with rounded edges, positioning it uniquely against both its predecessor and the iPhone 17 Pro Max amid possible price hikes and delayed release.
