Both the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ could get a flat display on the front, featuring a centred hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. The bezels on both screens will reportedly be thin and uniform on all sides. The physical power and volume buttons are expected to be placed on the right side of the frame. Meanwhile, the frame of the Galaxy S26 series could be flat, but may curve towards the edges for better ergonomics.

While the placement of the triple rear camera sensors may be identical to the Galaxy S25 lineup, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ could carry subtle design changes. To begin with, the lenses may sit on a slightly raised camera island, similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge.
