Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Pre-Order and Launch Dates Revealed in a New Leak

Samsung Galaxy S26 series pre-order and launch dates have been revealed through a new leak and here's what you can expect.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series pre-order and launch dates have been revealed via a new leak, backing the previous leaks which suggest that the devices will debut later than when the S24 and S25 series debuted in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

As per tipster

, the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on February 25 where the Galaxy S26 series will debut. Post the launch event, interested buyers will be able to pre-order the Galaxy S26 models. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series pre-order period will begin from February 26 and will continue through March 4. The pre-sale period is expected to last from March 5 to March 10.

Finally, from March 11, the Galaxy S26 series will be available for everyone to purchase. While the tipster explicitly mentions these dates are for South Korea, they'll likely remain the same for rest of the world as well. However, this is a speculation and the original dates could differ. We'll know more when Samsung officially announces the dates.

Reports suggest this delay in S26 launch compared to the Galaxy S-series launches in past couple of years was probably caused due to last-minute changes in the lineup where the S26 Edge was scrapped in favour of the Galaxy S26 Plus.

According to another recent report, the Galaxy S26 series price hike is unlikely to be implemented. The publication describes it as "a bold move to simultaneously protect market share and profitability by defending sales volume instead of raising prices."

In other words, Samsung is trying to keep the prices steady to maintain sales and stay competitive, rather than increasing prices to protect its profits.
