TL;DR
- Samsung is purportedly pushing the Galaxy S26 Unpacked event to February 2026.
- You likely won’t be able to buy the phone until March.
- That would end the recent January streak set by the Galaxy S24 and S25, likely pushing the launch closer to MWC.
For years, Galaxy S flagships have followed a fairly predictable early-year playbook. Now, a new rumor suggests the Galaxy S26 might change things not just in terms of its reveal, but also when you’ll be able to buy it.
