Galaxy S26 Lineup Tipped for Feb. 25 Unpacked With Bigger Base Storage and Built‑In Privacy Display

Rising memory costs are likely to curb Samsung’s usual preorder perks, according to recent reports.

Overview

  • Leaked timelines point to a Feb. 25 reveal, preorders starting Feb. 26 and retail availability around March 11.
  • A Finnish retailer listing suggests 256GB becomes the standard entry storage across Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra.
  • A Samsung Good Lock blog screenshot appeared to show a Privacy Display toggle that limits side‑angle viewing on the S26 Ultra.
  • Reports indicate Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 power for U.S. units and a 200MP main camera on the Ultra, alongside tougher, low‑glare Gorilla Armor glass.
  • U.S. pricing is rumored to match last year at $799, $999 and $1,299, while analysts warn memory price spikes could mean fewer preorder bonuses or regional price moves.
