Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Ultra at a starting price of Rs 1,29,999. However, due to a global RAM shortage and a significant rise in component costs, the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be slightly more expensive. The device is likely to debut with a starting price of around Rs 1,34,999 for the base variant. That said, these prices are not official, and the final cost may vary depending on storage configurations and any launch offers announced by Samsung.
Renders of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra have recently surfaced online. The images suggest that Samsung may adopt a camera island–based design, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, for its next-generation flagship.

According to the recent leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be launched in four standard colours, which include white, black, blue and purple. As seen in previous launches, Samsung could also introduce special or limited edition colours later, but there is no confirmation on that yet.
