Samsung is one of the best flagship makers when it comes to Android devices. Its next flagship series will be the Galaxy S26. If you’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of Samsung’s upcoming flagship phone, its official release date has finally been leaked. Here’s when the Galaxy S26 series will be released.
A few years ago, Samsung altered its release routine for flagship phones, shifting from March to late January or February. The company is expected to continue the current routine for their upcoming Galaxy S26 series. The series will include all three models, Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Here’s when the Galaxy S26 will be released
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch on February 25, 2026, during the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled to be held in San Francisco.
Update: Galaxy S26 release date have been revealed. Check here.
This is an expected release date shared by a Korean analyst, Jukan. Compared to the launch of the last generation Galaxy S25 series, the Galaxy S26 has been delayed by a few weeks. The official release date will be announced later this year or early next year. While analysts’ predictions are generally accurate, it’s important to remember that leaks should be taken with a grain of salt.
The upcoming Samsung Unpacked Event will be a big one, with the possibility of unveiling more than just the Galaxy S26 devices. It’s also speculated that the Galaxy S26 Edge might be part of this series and launch alongside other models.
Along with the expected release date, there’s a lot more information available about the Galaxy S26 series, including its design and limited specifications. According to rumors and leaks, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature an upgraded OLED display, the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos chips, 60W charging on Ultra, upgraded cameras, and more.
In design, the Galaxy S26 series will undergo several changes, such as a thinner body across all models, a redesigned camera island design, rounded edges, and a few small changes. The Galaxy S26 Edge appears to have been inspired by the latest iPhone 17 Air for the camera island.
