Samsung has traditionally launched its Galaxy S Ultra models in January, but the Galaxy S26 series is expected to break this pattern with a launch in mid-February 2026. This delay positions the release a few weeks later than previous models, with retail availability likely by late February or early March. Despite the shift, Samsung aims to unveil the Galaxy S26 Ultra before the Mobile World Congress in early March, allowing it to showcase new updates ahead of competitors. The delay is attributed to strategic changes in Samsung’s flagship lineup, including pricing, component availability, and performance upgrades. Additionally, the adoption of Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon processor globally might require more validation time. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is anticipated to emphasize camera performance, display quality, and AI features, with both hardware and software enhancements expected at launch.
