Recent reports from South Korean media indicate that Samsung will officially unveil its Galaxy S26 series on February 25 during a dedicated Unpacked event in San Francisco. This launch date has been corroborated by Evan Blass (evleaks), who asserts that the Galaxy S26 series will be available in stores by early March.

This announcement marks a delay of one month compared to the Galaxy S25 generation, which was introduced on January 22, 2025. Speculation suggests that the change in launch timing may be a result of Samsung's decision to cancel the Galaxy S26 Edge and instead launch the Galaxy S26+.
Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Dummy Units
The Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra are anticipated to be priced higher in certain markets than their predecessors. Reports indicate that the Galaxy S26 might cost between KRW 44,000 ($30) and KRW 88,000 ($60) more than the Galaxy S25. However, prices in other regions, such as the United States, are expected to remain consistent with the previous generation.
