Samsung Unintentionally Reveals New Galaxy S26 Models Ahead of Launch
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series is generating buzz ahead of its official announcement next month. Samsung Colombia has unintentionally unveiled the presence of three new models: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. This revelation came through a promotional document that mentioned these models will be featured in a local credit card incentive campaign.
Confirmed Galaxy S26 Models Ahead of Launch
The confirmation marks the first time Samsung has publicly acknowledged the specific names of the Galaxy S26 lineup. Originally, speculation indicated that the company might rename the base model as Galaxy S26 “Pro” and introduce a Galaxy S26 Edge. However, due to a lack of consumer interest in the Edge variant, Samsung decided to retain the “Plus” nomenclature.
Specifications and Features
While significant upgrades from the Galaxy S25 series aren’t anticipated, some details have emerged. The Galaxy S26 Plus is projected to have a 6.66-inch screen, slightly reducing from the 6.7-inch display of its predecessor. Samsung was reportedly considering incorporating a display used in the now-canceled Galaxy S26 Edge but opted for a similar panel from the previous generation instead.
Release Date and Launch Event
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be unveiled on February 25th, 2026, during the Galaxy Unpacked event. Scheduled for 7 PM Central European Time (10 AM PT / 1 PM ET), this event will also mark the devices’ official presentation.
- Announcement Date: February 25, 2026
- On-Sale Date: March 11, 2026
This March 11 date aligns with Samsung’s typical release schedule, although it falls on a Wednesday rather than the usual Friday. This shift comes as a result of delays related to the Galaxy S26 Edge.
Potential Price Increases
As Samsung prepares for the launch, a notable price increase is anticipated. TM Roh, the co-CEO of Samsung Electronics, indicated that global memory shortages could lead to rising product prices. Similarly, Wonjin Lee, Samsung’s global marketing president, acknowledged the likelihood of price adjustments, stating that increased memory prices would influence the final costs of the Galaxy S26 models.
As the launch date approaches, consumers eagerly await official specifications and pricing details for the new Galaxy S26 series on Filmogaz.com. Samsung’s ability to balance innovation and cost will be crucial for maintaining its competitive edge in the smartphone market.
