Reports Point to Feb. 25 Galaxy S26 Launch in San Francisco With AI-Centric Upgrades

Industry reporting indicates a debut that prioritizes faster memory for on‑device AI rather than major camera changes.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing Forbes report an unconfirmed Feb. 25, 2026 Unpacked event in San Francisco for the Galaxy S26 lineup.
  • El Español, as relayed by Clarín, says S26 Ultra production has already started, with base and Plus models slated to begin in January, which may explain a later-than-usual launch window.
  • Leaked details point to LPDDR5X RAM rated around 10.7 Gbps and UFS 4.1 or possibly UFS 5.0 storage, reflecting a push for faster AI processing on device.
  • Sources note configurable virtual RAM in One UI of up to 12 GB and suggest a 16 GB/1 TB S26 Ultra variant only in markets where high‑RAM rivals are common.
  • Reporting indicates Samsung may hold pricing steady for 2026, while current retail tracking shows steep Galaxy S25 Ultra discounts in Peru to about 3,449 soles from 5,000–6,000 soles.
