Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Launch Timeline Leaked Again, Tipped for Late January 2026

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has been the talk of the town for several days, which will launch next year. Earlier leaks suggested that the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event would take place on February 25, 2026, in San Francisco, where the South Korean tech giant usually launches its flagship series. Now, the latest leak indicates that the Galaxy S26 lineup could be unveiled in late January 2026 instead.

Galaxy S26 Series Launch Timeline Leaked Again

According to the latest report from Chosun Biz, the Galaxy S26 Unpacked launch event is expected to take place in late January 2026. The report also mentions that the next-gen flagships will likely go on sale in early February.

Earlier reports suggested that the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series could be delayed as Samsung had initially planned to introduce an ultra-slim "Edge" model in the lineup, but due to weak sales, the company reportedly decided to bring back the Plus variant. During this period, rumours surfaced that the Galaxy Unpacked event might take place in late February, with the Galaxy S26 series launching in March.

Moreover, the next-gen S26 lineup will most likely include the Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. As noted, there are no such plans for the Edge model for now.

If Samsung launches the Galaxy S26 series in January, it would follow the same pattern as the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S25 series, which debuted in January 2024 and January 2025, respectively. However, all are speculations; we'd suggest our readers take this with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for the official announcement.
