- Wallpapers for the Samsung Galaxy S26 series have leaked
- These are shown in six shades, suggesting the phones might also be sold in those shades
- The colors include gray, peach, purple, light blue, black, and silver
Thanks to various leaks and rumors, we have a pretty good idea of the likely Samsung Galaxy S26 series specs, so now, inevitably, leaks are turning to the colors, with the latest such leak suggesting these phones might be sold in six shades.
X user @wr3cckl3ss1 (via Android Police) has shared what’s apparently an official wallpaper for the Samsung Galaxy S26, and they’ve shown it in six different colors: gray, peach, purple, light blue, black, and silver (see the image below).
That certainly suggests those might be the colors we’ll see the Galaxy S26 series arrive in come next year, and @DaRealManMikey has specifically claimed that these are indeed the phone shades we’ll see.
These wallpapers were apparently extracted from Samsung software, which, if true, suggests they’re probably genuine – though it’s worth noting that while @wr3cckl3ss1 has accurately leaked information in the past, neither of these sources has a particularly extensive track record, so we’d take this information with a pinch of salt.
Of the six colors shown, it’s the three brighter shades that immediately catch my attention, as I’m a fan of eye-catching colors on phones.
But it’s the peach one that perhaps stands out most of all, as while this looks somewhat like the coral shade we previously saw on the Samsung Galaxy S25, it also doesn’t look a million miles from the orange shade that Apple sells the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in.
A likely incomplete selection
But the big remaining question is: which Samsung Galaxy S26 models would be sold in which of these colors? Typically, Samsung sells its Ultra phones in different shades from the other models, and the company also tends to reserve brighter shades for the non-Ultra models.
So, with that in mind, we’d guess that either these colors will all be applied to the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus, with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra being sold in a different selection. Or the more understated shades shown here will be used for the Ultra, while the brighter ones are offered for the other models – in which case, all three models will probably also be sold in additional shades. So, either way, this is probably an incomplete list, if it’s even accurate.
We should find out exactly how accurate it is before too long, though, as recent leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S26 series could launch as soon as January – though some earlier reports claimed we might be waiting until March.
