Samsung is highly expected to launch Samsung Galaxy S26 series around February 25, with availability starting in mid-March.
The Galaxy S26 series is rumoured to comprise the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, all of which will have upgraded cameras, improved features, and stylish designs.
The series may have a higher price tag, as Samsung executives have hinted at probable pricing increases due to the worldwide memory shortage.
Samsung Electronics co-CEO TM Roh stated: "No company is immune" to the pressure, and Samsung's global marketing president Wonjin Lee added: “When memory prices go up, it’s going to have an impact on the price of products. I don’t think we’re immune to those issues.”
"Prices are going up… we don’t want to convey that burden to consumers, but we’re going to be at a point where we have to consider repricing our products," added Roh.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra expected price
According to leaked price estimates, the Galaxy S26 could cost $859, the S26 Plus might be priced at $1,059, and the S26 Ultra is likely to cost $1,359.
The standard double-storage pre-order deal may also undergo adjustments, affecting free storage upgrades and other benefits.

The Galaxy S26 series is rumoured to have a revamped camera island and a slightly smaller profile. According to rumours, Samsung S26 will include a 6.3-inch AMOLED display.

The camera configuration could comprise a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, a 50MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 10MP telephoto camera.
