Samsung usually introduces its Galaxy S series phones early in the year. In the last few years, these launches have occurred in late January or early February. However, the company may have postponed the launch event of the Galaxy S26 series due to recent changes in the device series.
Galaxy S26 could be introduced in late February 2026
According to MoneyToday, the Galaxy S26 series may be announced on February 25, 2026. The Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event is expected to be held in San Francisco, an important city in the age of artificial intelligence. This marks Samsung’s return to San Francisco for the first time since the Galaxy S23 series. A Samsung official also confirmed this information.
While San Francisco stands out as the center of artificial intelligence innovation, Samsung has recently focused on integrating useful artificial intelligence features into its phones. Therefore, the company seems to believe that introducing the Galaxy S26 series in this US city is an ideal choice.
Many reports in recent months have suggested that Samsung will make a significant change with the Galaxy S26 series; He claimed that he would introduce the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge and Galaxy S26 Ultra models. However, due to the disappointing sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge, the South Korean company decided to cancel the Galaxy S26 Edge model and return to its traditional product structure.
Samsung has signaled that at least some Galaxy S26 models will feature the Exynos 2600 chipset. This chip will be the world’s first 2nm class smartphone processor. Designed by Samsung’s System LSI unit and produced on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm manufacturing process, this chip features a 10-core ARM C1 CPU and Xclipse 960 GPU based on AMD RDNA architecture.
It is stated that this processor will be used in all countries except Canada, China and the USA in the Galaxy S26 and S26+ models. The Galaxy S26 Ultra model will use only the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip produced with TSMC’s 3nm process.
