The authoritative insider Ice Universe shared information about when Samsung will present its new line of flagship Galaxy S26 smartphones.

What is known

Ice Universe confirmed that the official presentation of the series will take place in February 2026 and reported that they will be available for sale in March.

An additional confirmation of the upcoming announcement was the recent certification of a model with the index SM-S9480 in the Chinese quality certification center and in the GSMA IMEI database—a device that, according to sources, likely belongs to the Galaxy S26 Ultra and supports wired charging with a power of up to 60W. By the way, it is for this that Samsung speeds up flagship charging: the company has released its first 60W power adapter.

From other leaks, it is known that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will receive a 6.9 AMOLED screen, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of flash storage (in the top configuration), a 5000 mAh battery, 60W charging + Qi2 wireless. The high performance is provided by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The camera module in the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have three powerful sensors (200, 50, 50 MP), and to the right of them, Samsung will place autofocus with laser guidance and a fourth camera (12 MP).

In addition to the flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra, the lineup will include the base model Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Plus, which will have somewhat more modest characteristics but will differ in that they will be released on the Korean market with the latest Exynos 2600 chipset—the world's first mobile chip made using the 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) process technology.
