Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Black Model May Suffer Visual Regression, Leaker Claims [VIDEO]
Seoul, South Korea – November 28, 2025 – Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, anticipated as a flagship device, could face an aesthetic setback with its all-black color option, according to prominent tech insider Ice Universe.The decision to utilize a black frame to achieve a uniform color scheme across the device may inadvertently make the phone’s bezels appear wider than they are, representing a potential visual regression in design.
The leak, shared on Twitter November 27, 2025, details Samsung’s choice to move away from a lighter silver frame for the black Galaxy S26 Ultra.While aiming for a seamless aesthetic, this design choice causes the black frame to blend with the display’s black edges, creating the illusion of thicker bezels.
“This time,the Galaxy S26 Ultra black version features a black frame,not the lighter silver,so the overall visual bezel is inevitably wider,” Ice Universe stated in a post on X (formerly twitter).
beyond the frame concern, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to feature a larger 4mm selfie camera for a wider field of view. Specifications currently point to a 6.9″ (17.52 cm) display with dimensions of 163.6 x 78.1 x 7.9 mm, powered by the qualcomm snapdragon 8 elite Gen 5 SoC and a 5200 mAh battery. the device will likely retain a similar camera configuration to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, including a 200 MP Isocell HP2 main camera (potentially with a larger aperture), a 50 MP Isocell JN3 or Sony IMX564 ultra-wide camera, a 50 MP IMX854 5x periscope camera (possibly with a wider aperture), a 12MP IMX874 selfie camera, and a 12MP Isocell 3LD S5K3LD 3x telephoto lens (potentially with a smaller 1/3.94″ aperture).
While the aesthetic impact is currently limited to the black model, potential buyers may want to consider this visual effect when choosing a color.
