Galaxy S26 Unpacked Tipped for Late February, Plus Model Reported to Jump to 6.9 Inches

Reports indicate a three‑phone lineup without an Edge variant, reflecting ongoing chip choices ahead of March sales.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing trusted leakers now expect a February 2026 Unpacked in San Francisco with retail availability roughly two weeks later in early to mid‑March.
  • A new Tech Informer leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Plus could match the Ultra at around 6.9 inches, with native Qi2 magnetic charging support and a possible move to a 12MP 3x telephoto on non‑Ultra models.
  • Coverage consolidates around a three‑model family—Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra—after reports that the ultra‑thin Edge variant has been shelved.
  • Reporting continues to point to a Snapdragon‑only S26 Ultra, while the S26 and S26 Plus may use a dual‑chip strategy with Exynos 2600 in some regions.
  • Rumored Ultra specs include a 6.9‑inch AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 5,000mAh battery with 60W wired charging, and a 200MP main camera, though final details remain unconfirmed.
