Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy S26 FE has appeared in a new leak before its official launch. Now, new images shared by Android Headlines show two official cases for the phone and also give us a good look at its design and colors.

The two types of Galaxy S26 FE cases are the Clear Magnet Case and the Silicone Magnetic Case. Both cases support magnetic charging and give us an early look at the phone’s design. The leak also confirms that Samsung will continue offering magnetic accessories for its Fan Edition smartphone.

The Clear Magnet Case has a transparent design with a built-in magnetic ring, making it easy to use magnetic chargers and accessories. However, this does not mean the Galaxy S26 FE will have magnets built into the phone. Samsung is likely adding magnetic support through the case instead

The Silicone Magnetic Case features a slim, soft design with the same magnetic support. The leaked images also show the Galaxy S26 FE in Cobalt Violet and Mint, while more color options are expected at launch.

Aside from this, the Galaxy S26 FE’s design looks very similar to the Galaxy S25 FE. It has three rear cameras placed vertically on the back and slim bezels around the display. The bottom bezel appears to be slightly thicker than the other sides, but the overall design remains clean and modern.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S26 FE in early September during the IFA event. More official details are expected when Samsung announces the phone in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is getting mixed reactions because it does not include a privacy display. Many users expected this feature, mainly because the phone has a large foldable screen that is often used in public places.

A privacy display makes it harder for people nearby to see what is on your screen. Samsung first introduced this feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra earlier this year. Many users thought it would be even more useful on the Galaxy Fold 8 because people often use foldable phones in public places like buses, trains, and cafes.

After the phone was released, many users shared their opinions online. Some said they were disappointed because others could easily look at their screen. Some also said they may now have to buy a separate privacy screen protector.

However, some foreign technology experts believe Samsung made the right choice. Some tech websites said the company made a smart decision by leaving out the privacy display.

The main reason is the higher cost. According to Counterpoint Research, privacy display panels cost about 10% more to make than normal OLED screens. Since foldable phone displays are already expensive, adding this feature could have increased both the phone’s price and repair costs.

Replacing the inner screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 already costs above $800. A privacy display could make repairs even more expensive. Samsung chose to keep the phone more affordable instead of adding a costly feature.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra may drop a camera sensor from the rear module, featuring a single telephoto camera. We have heard this shift many times in the past, and the Samsung leaker isn’t changing his stance.

According to IceUniverse, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra has a single telephoto camera. The company has been shipping its top-tier Ultra flagship phones with two dedicated zoom camera sensors since 2021.

Galaxy S21 Ultra was the first to come with two telephoto cameras. The latest Galaxy S26 Ultra also features two zoom sensors; one offers 3x optical zoom, while the other offers 5x optical and 10x optical-quality zoom.

Samsung may change that in 2027

Galaxy S27 Ultra is widely rumored to have three cameras on the back. It will be one primary, one ultrawide, and one telephoto, while the front side boasts a brand-new selfie shooter.

Samsung may not continue the 3x telephoto sensor in the next flagship. This shift will turn the Galaxy S27 Ultra into a triple 50MP camera phone, with the telephoto offering 50-megapixel resolution with 5x optical zoom.

The company also plans to use a new 16-megapixel sensor for the selfie camera. It will likely offer Apple’s Center Stage-like photography experience. However, not many details were revealed in the report that appeared last month.

Galaxy S27 Pro may also be joining the flagship lineup next year. It will have a compact size, while bringing some decent specifications. Samsung also plans to expand S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display to all four models of the S27 series.

Luxury customizer Caviar has expanded its “Legends” collection with three cinematic-themed iterations of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldables, paying homage to classic film characters from The Godfather, Scarface, and The Dark Knight.

Handcrafted with 24-karat gold accents and detailed cloisonne enamel artwork, each design is restricted to an exclusive production run of just 19 units.

Pricing for the bespoke lineup opens at $12,560 for the customized Galaxy Z Fold 8 models, rising to $12,990 for the high-end Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra edition.

July 17, 2026: Original article…

Samsung is still days away from unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, but luxury customization company Caviar has already shown what an ultra-premium version of the foldable could look like.

The customized foldable features a hand-painted Lionel Messi portrait, 24-karat gold accents, cloisonné enamel artwork, and an extremely limited production run of just 19 units.

While the collaboration doesn’t reveal any previously unknown specifications about Samsung’s next foldable, it does show the confidence luxury brands already have in the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra’s appeal.

Pricing begins at $13,130 for the 256GB model before any additional personalization. Caviar also lets buyers request custom engravings, logos, design revisions, and even bespoke packaging.

Caviar announced the collection ahead of Samsung’s Unpacked event on July 22, where the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is widely expected to make its debut. The launch also comes before the FIFA World Cup final, adding another layer of relevance.

Whether spending more than $13,000 on a foldable smartphone makes sense is another question entirely, but Caviar clearly believes there is a market for buyers who value exclusivity as much as technology.

With Samsung’s official announcement just around the corner, this may be only the first of several luxury interpretations built around the company’s next flagship foldable.

Samsung’s internal roadmap doesn’t wait for retail shelves, and a fresh batch of code names gives us a decent early look at next year’s foldables. Samsung is working on five Galaxy Z projects, including a Rollable phone and a TriFold 2.

As spotted by GalaxyClub, Samsung product pipeline probably includes five Galaxy Z phones for 2027, including the Z Flip 9, Z Fold 9, Z Fold 9 Ultra, Rollable phone, and TriFold 2.

A new Galaxy Z Flip is in development under the code name B9, so a Flip 9 in 2027 is basically locked in. The Galaxy Z Fold 9 is tracked internally as H9, while the code name Q9, which covers two separate variants: Q9A and Q9B for Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra and Galaxy Z TriFold 2.

Code named Z9, the fifth device reportedly leans more tablet than phone in terms of hardware. The input points toward the long-rumored rollable, a device with a display that physically extends or retracts to change screen size.

Five Samsung Galaxy Z projects leak

1. B9 → Expected to be Galaxy Z Flip 9
2. H9 → Expected to be Galaxy Z Fold 9
3. Q9A → Believed to be Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra
4. Q9B → Believed to be the second-generation Galaxy Z TriFold
5. Z9 → An unreleased rollable/slidable tablet-like device

We can’t say yet what Samsung would actually call Z9, or whether it lands under the Galaxy Z banner at all. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 9, Galaxy Z Fold 9, and Galaxy Z Fold 9 Ultra devices are fairly safe bets for summer 2027.
