Looks like Samsung didn't copy Apple's orange color scheme this year.

Samsung's next batch of flagship smartphones is almost here, and leaked details are coming in hot. A pair of reports this week pointed to possible color choices and price points for the still-unannounced Galaxy S26 lineup.

For starters, prominent leaker Evan Blass took to X to post a list of Galaxy S26 color options, allegedly definitive. They are:

  • Black

  • White

  • Silver Shadow

  • Sky Blue

  • Cobalt Violet

  • Pink Gold

Those are fairly standard colors for a smartphone in this day and age, so anyone expecting something really bold like Apple's orange iPhone last year might be disappointed.

Meanwhile, Korean outlet iNews24 had encouraging news, via a Samsung source, about price points for the Galaxy S26 models. The company is "doing their best" to make sure the price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra (the most expensive model) doesn't exceed 2 million won, the source said.

That converts to roughly $1,360, or about $60 more than the price of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

With a margin that small, Samsung could opt to keep the price of the S26 Ultra the same as last year's equivalent. And that could happen despite rising prices of memory chips amidst a massive RAM shortage.

We still don't know when exactly Samsung will actually show off these phones and put these rumors to rest, but a launch event announcement is expected any day now.
