Samsung fans, hold onto your hats! The tech giant seems to be having a bit of a rollercoaster ride with its upcoming Galaxy S26 plans. Let’s dive into the latest rumors swirling around the tech sphere.
First things first, it looks like Samsung is sticking to its classic S series naming scheme. So, say goodbye to the ‘Pro’ moniker for the base model. According to our pals at SamMobile, the entry-level handset will simply be called the Samsung Galaxy S26, following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S25. If the Edge variant bites the dust too, we’re looking at the usual trio: standard, Plus, and Ultra.
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room – the launch date. Our friends over at TechManiacs (via GSMArena) are whispering that the Galaxy S26 crew might not make an appearance until March. Yep, you heard it right! If this pans out, it’ll be the latest launch since the Samsung Galaxy S23, which dropped in February 2022. Samsung’s not exactly thrilled about pushing back their 2026 schedule, but if the phones aren’t ready, what can you do?
Adding to the mix, some Galaxy S26 models are expected to rock Exynos chipsets, which is a bit of a change from the Galaxy S25 lineup. And get this – while the rest of the S26 gang might be delayed, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is reportedly on track for a January reveal. Talk about a mixed bag!
TechManiacs has a bit of a spotty track record with leaks, but with all the rumors flying around, it’s not entirely far-fetched that the S26 handsets could be delayed. So, Samsung fans, mark your calendars for March (fingers crossed) and keep your eyes peeled for more updates!
