Galaxy S26 Pro is tipped to get a pill-shaped camera island housing three vertically stacked sensors. The camera lenses, too, appear slightly different on the rumoured handset.

The sides are tipped to be flat with slightly curved edges, and all the buttons – power and volume may sit neatly on the right side. The phone will likely have a glass back and aluminium around the frame.

Furthermore, Galaxy S26 Pro could sport the slightly larger 6.3-inch display measuring approximately 149.3 x 71.4 x 6.96mm (10.23mm including the camera bump).
