Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to Get Exclusive Colors and One UI 8.5 System

Samsung is preparing to launch its flagship Galaxy S26 smartphone series, with the Ultra model as its centerpiece. According to leaks, the device will receive at least two exclusive color variants for its body, complementing the standard color palette. These details emerged a day before one store confirmed other key technical parameters, revealing data about the camera, battery, and screen. The launch of the entire Galaxy S26 series is set to take place at the upcoming Samsung Unpacked conference. This event will have a dual dimension, as alongside the new smartphones, Samsung will present a major update to its operating system – One UI 8.5. This system is currently in the beta testing phase, and its final version will bring a refreshed version of the voice assistant Bixby and a range of other improvements. One UI, a skin over the Android system developed by Samsung, first debuted in 2018 with the Galaxy S10 series. Its goal is to unify and simplify the user interface across the company's various devices, from smartphones to tablets and smartwatches.In terms of photography, leaks suggest that Samsung in the S26 model is focusing primarily on refining software rather than radical changes to the camera module. The key novelty is expected to be a completely new noise reduction algorithm, which is said to provide cleaner photos and better rendering of uniform surfaces. Thus, the manufacturer continues the trend of combining advanced photographic hardware with increasingly intelligent image processing software. „First time in a long time I feel like buying a Samsung Ultra, especially since I've been waiting for one of the changes for years.” — gsmManiaK.plIt seems that Samsung, by introducing exclusive color versions, software improvements, and photographic algorithms, aims to strengthen the Ultra model's position as the premium version of its flagship series, offering unique features not available in standard models.
