The delay of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 line seems more obvious than ever devices

Samsung just announced its Exynos 2600 processorthe world’s first 2nm chip, which at least some Galaxy S26 devices may have inside. However, this fact would not be the only reason why the Korean company could delay the release of the elite family.

Galaxy S series It was announced several years ago in Januaryand goes on the market in about three weeks. According to a report by Yonhap news agency about the launch of the Exynos 2600 processor, the company will hold a Galaxy Unpacked event in February at an as-yet undisclosed location in the US.

This adds to the many previous rumors about a possible delay in the launch of the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra. We previously heard that the premiere could take place on February 25, which would push back shipping and in-store sales until the second week of March.

It’s close

A few details are still unknown

Samsung reportedly took longer to perfect the design of the standard Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus models, which could be the reason for the delay. Other rumors claimed that the design of the Galaxy S26 Ultra has been finalized as planned and the device is ready for mass production.

Although in recent years Samsung has announced its flagship devices in January, the company never been very strict with the release schedule. However, when sales begin in March, it will be the first in the series since the launch of the Galaxy S20 in 2020.

Delay can correspond to the wave of mid-range devices What are we waiting for in the spring. There are rumors that Apple’s iPhone 17e, Google’s Pixel 10a, and the Galaxy A57 from Samsung itself will be released between March and April 2026. Although these are very different devices, Samsung prefers not to coincide with other major premieres for the launch of its high-end devices.

Of course, given the number of conflicting rumors about the Galaxy S26 series, we have to take everything with a grain of salt. The possible release schedule caused a lot of excitement a few months ago an exit from the Edge model was shown along with the standard S26 and Ultra, and that the Plus model will be replaced by a Pro variant, although in the end it’s pretty much the same.
