TL;DR We’ve discovered Samsung Galaxy S26 series renders in One UI 8.5.
The renders show the back of the Galaxy S26/S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
The images corroborate previously posted renders by a trusted leaker.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S26 series early next year, and we’ve already seen leaked renders via trusted sources. Now, it looks like Samsung’s own One UI 8.5 software includes renders of the new Android flagships.
We dug into Samsung’s One UI 8.5 software and found a couple of renders showing the Galaxy S26 series. The first render shows a phone with the codenames M1 and M2, while the second image shows a phone with the codename M3. Previous leaks confirm that M1 and M2 apply to the base Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus. Meanwhile, the M3 codename has been linked to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Check out the renders below.

The Galaxy S26/S26 Plus render broadly lines up with leaked renders by Steve ‘OnLeaks’ Hemmerstoffer. That means a vertically stacked rear camera system featuring three lenses in a camera island. The Galaxy S26 Ultra render also corroborates previously leaked OnLeaks imagery. That means three vertically aligned rear cameras in a camera island, along with two more sensors next to the main housing.
