Samsung Galaxy S26 dummy units reveal iPhone 17 Pro-inspired design

Is Samsung drawing inspiration from Apple’s design team for its Galaxy S26 series? Well, it sure looks like it.

Tipster @SonnyDickson just shared a photo of what are supposedly dummy units of the Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

One of the two most striking details is the horizontal camera bar of the Galaxy S26 Edge, which resembles the design of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air. In contrast, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra retain the familiar vertical camera layout.

The second notable change is the addition of a MagSafe-like circular ring on the back of all three dummy units, which suggests that Samsung may introduce Qi2 wireless charging to the Galaxy S26 series.

@SonnyDickson added that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in February 2026 – slightly later than this year’s models, which debuted on 23 January 2025.
