Samsung delays Galaxy S26 launch

Samsung is reportedly pushing back the Galaxy S26 series launch to late February or early March 2026, according to WinFuture. Originally expected in January, the lineup, now including the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra,  replaces the previously rumored “Pro” and “Edge” models.

Sources say the delay is tied to low production yields of the Exynos 2600, Samsung’s next-gen chipset set to power half of the lineup. The Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly enter mass production in December, with the base and Plus models following in January.

This marks a notable shift from Samsung’s usual early-year flagship launches, possibly signaling major hardware or branding changes. While details remain under wraps, the new timeline gives Samsung extra breathing room  and fans more reason to expect something big from the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is shaping up to be the true star of the series.
