Samsung Galaxy S26 is expected to launch on February 25

Galaxy Unpacked takes place at 10:00 a.m. on February 25 Pacific Time (PT), which is 1:00 a.m. on February 26, Hanoi time. This year’s event is still held in San Francisco.

Mashable According to reviews, Unpacked being held at the end of February is quite unusual, because in previous years, the event usually took place at the end of January. This page predicts that the delay may come from production factors and the global memory chip shortage.

Samsung plans to launch three new Galaxy S models, including Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra. The company will return to using the Exynos 2600 processor in parallel with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

In particular, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have a more curved design compared to the square design of the S25 Ultra. The device still uses a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with a feature to prevent strangers from peeping on content from an inclined angle.

With the main camera of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, three lenses are arranged in a pill-shaped protective frame like the Galaxy Z Fold7, while the remaining two cameras are located separately. This change will create more space to upgrade the camera system, improving photo quality. Battery capacity can increase to 5,200 mAh, fast charging capacity is expected to reach 60 W instead of the current 45 W, allowing charging from 0% to 80% in 30 minutes.

The two versions of Galaxy S26 and S26+ are also more rounded but different overall. The standard S26 model slightly increases the screen size from 6.2 to 6.3 inches, while the S26+ maintains the same 6.7 inches. All have 12 GB starting RAM to meet AI tasks.

The new Galaxy S series is expected to go on sale in mid-March. According to PhoneArenaSamsung’s big challenge when launching the Galaxy S26 series is the selling price as component costs increase, especially 2 nm process chips and AI technology, which can cause the list price of the S26 series to be higher than its predecessor.
