Overview
- Reporting now clusters around an early‑2026 debut, with some outlets citing a late‑January Unpacked and early‑February sales while others point to a February 25 event in San Francisco, and Samsung has not confirmed the date.
- The series is widely expected to comprise Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra, with the ultra‑thin Edge variant reportedly canceled despite newly surfaced dummy images showing a 5.5 mm design.
- Qualcomm has stated it will supply about three of every four processors for the lineup, and leaks suggest the S26 Ultra will run Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 globally.
- A regional split is again anticipated, with Exynos 2600 tipped for S26 and S26+ in markets such as Europe and South Korea and Snapdragon favored in the United States, Japan and China.
- Fresh leaks outline cameras including a 200 MP main sensor on the S26 Ultra and 50 MP mains on S26 and S26+, while separate reports say Samsung aims to hold the base model at $799.
