Overview
- Multiple reports, including Dealabs, point to a Feb. 25 Unpacked in San Francisco with sales beginning March 11, though Samsung has not officially announced the dates.
- Korean trade press says mass production is underway with an estimated 3.6 million Galaxy S26 Ultra units prioritized this month versus roughly 700,000 S26 and 600,000 S26 Plus.
- Fresh leaks reconfirm key Ultra upgrades such as a 200MP main camera with f/1.4 aperture, a 50MP telephoto at f/2.9, faster ~60W wired charging, Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, and a top tier of 16GB RAM/1TB storage.
- The lineup is again expected to split chipsets by region, pairing Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon with Samsung’s Exynos 2600 in select markets.
- Reports indicate the S26 Plus largely reuses S25 Plus hardware—including a 6.66-inch display, 4,900mAh battery, and 45W charging—adding Qi2 support but few other changes.
