Mumbai, December 23:  The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra release date is now expected to follow a slightly delayed timeline compared to previous Galaxy S series launches. Samsung, instead of the launching the Samsung Galaxy S26 series in January like previously, would likely announce the Galaxy S26 Ultra in February 2026. As per some reports, the market availability would be pushed to late February or early March 2026. This shift has sparked discussions among fans who are accustomed to Samsung’s early-year flagship launches.

As per new leaks, Samsung is planning a Galaxy Unpacked event in February, where the Galaxy S26 Ultra will take centre stage. The sales of the devices are expected to follow a few weeks later, potentially extending into March. Samsung's new approach would still allow it to complete its flagship rollout before or around Mobile World Congress 2026 (MCW 2026), taking place in early March. It would also give it flexibility in production. OPPO Reno 15 Series Launch Soon in India With AI Portrait Camera, Confirms Teaser; Check Expected Specifications and Features.
