When will the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra launch and pre-orders be?

Introduction:

The city-based technology company ‘Samsung’ is busy preparing for the launch of its new flagship smartphone series ‘Galaxy S26’, which will include ‘Galaxy S26’, ‘Galaxy S26 Plus’ and ‘Galaxy S26 Ultra’.

According to ‘Forbes’, this time the launch is expected at the end of February instead of January.

According to reports, the launch event ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ will be held on February 25 in San Francisco where the new series will also be officially introduced.

Description:

Earlier, it was reported that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge and Galaxy S26 Pro would also be launched, but after the low sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge and Apple maintaining the price of the iPhone 17 at $ 799, Samsung changed its mind.

After this, it was decided to focus on the traditional three models once again, which affected the manufacturing schedule and delayed the launch.

According to the report, invitations to participate in the ‘Galaxy Unpacked Event’ are expected to be issued in the second week of February, while this event will take place a few days before the ‘Mobile World Congress’, which Samsung is expected to gain full global attention.

Along with the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung may also introduce a cheaper model, the Galaxy S26 FE, later, however, this phone will be launched several months after the flagship series, as has been seen in the past.

Pre-orders for the Galaxy S26 series are expected to open shortly after the Galaxy Unpacked event, where Samsung is likely to offer special discounts, better offers, and other benefits, but this time the famous ‘double storage’ offer is also likely to end.

Initial reviews are expected to come out within a week of the launch, which will likely be published during or immediately after the ‘Mobile World Congress’.

Regarding retail sales, it is reported that the ‘Galaxy S26’, ‘S26S Plus’, and ‘Galaxy S26 Ultra’ will be available in other major global markets including Europe on March 11, 2026, which is exactly two weeks after the launch.

Samsung's strategy is to maintain a strong continuity between launch, pre-orders, reviews, and retail availability to ensure that the Galaxy S26 Ultra continues to resonate strongly in the market and that the series stands out from other devices presented at Mobile World Congress.
