Reports Point to Three-Phone Galaxy S26 Launch as Late Edge Cancellation Leaves S26+ With Old Display

Leaked planning details indicate Samsung prioritized the Ultra in early production with much higher initial volumes.

Overview

  • Samsung Colombia promotional materials referenced Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra, suggesting a three-model lineup without Edge or Pro branding.
  • Industry reports point to a February 25 Unpacked announcement with retail sales in early March, though Samsung has not confirmed the date.
  • The Elec, via GSMArena, reports the S26 Edge was scrapped late, leading the S26+ to reuse a display panel similar to the S25+.
  • The S26 Ultra reportedly began mass production last month, with current targets around 3.6 million units versus about 700,000 S26 and 600,000 S26+.
  • The standard S26 is tipped to gain a slightly larger ~6.27-inch screen, while the Ultra is expected to headline with a 6.9-inch display and a 200-megapixel main camera.
