Apple may have already set the stage with its iPhone 17 lineup, but now all eyes are shifting to Samsung’s next big release — the Galaxy S26 series. Freshly leaked CAD renders of the Galaxy S26 Pro have surfaced online, offering an early look at the device’s design, display size, and dimensions. The smartphone is expected to officially launch in January 2026.
Subtle Yet Noticeable Design Changes
At first glance, the Galaxy S26 Pro doesn’t appear drastically different from its predecessor, the Galaxy S25. Samsung seems to be maintaining its “family design” philosophy, ensuring a recognizable identity for its flagship devices.
However, refinements are evident. The rear camera module, for instance, bears some resemblance to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, yet it takes a slight departure from the Galaxy S25’s layout. This small but notable shift gives the phone a refreshed appearance while still keeping Samsung’s premium look intact.
So the Galaxy S26 Pro is here! I honestly like the camera design which is inspired by the z fold 7 đź‘€ pic.twitter.com/E5HIIHK8E3

Display Size & Dimensions
The renders suggest that the Galaxy S26 Pro will sport a 6.3-inch display, accompanied by dimensions of 149.3 x 71.4 x 6.96mm. Factoring in the camera bump, the thickness may extend up to 10.23mm.
That said, some inconsistencies remain. Previous leaks hinted at slightly different measurements, so final details might only be confirmed once Samsung makes the official announcement.
No Galaxy S26 Plus?
Perhaps the biggest shake-up is the rumored elimination of the “Plus” model. A major leak suggests Samsung could drop the Galaxy S26 Plus entirely, mirroring Apple’s move when it replaced the iPhone Plus with the iPhone 17 Air.
Instead, the Galaxy S26 lineup is expected to feature:
-
Galaxy S26 Pro
-
Galaxy S26 Edge
-
Galaxy S26 Ultra
If true, the S26 Pro would essentially take the place of the standard base model.
Expected Launch Timeline
Samsung is expected to follow its traditional release cycle, with the Galaxy S26 Pro debuting in January 2026. As always, while CAD renders offer valuable insight, the final retail model may still hold surprises.
