Samsung has finally fixed the Galaxy S26 series price and launch date, as it has apparently finalized now. Previously, surging DRAM and AP prices have been haunting Samsung, constantly pushing back the task of deciding the pricing.
Regarding the upcoming flagships, Korea’s Maeil revealed in an exclusive report that Samsung is freezing the prices. Additionally, the report also has a tentative launch date for when the company will hold this year’s first Unpacked event.
Galaxy S26 Series Price and Launch Date Are Now Set
Although Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the launch date or location either, the dates and venue are almost final. It appears that Unpacked 2026 may be held on Wednesday, February 2026, and the venue is highly likely to be San Francisco. Notably, the leaked launch date also indicates that the Korean tech giant is delaying the Unpacked event by around four weeks; consequently, the event, usually taking place at the end of January, has been pushed to late February in 2026.
- No Price Hike: Delivering a big relief to consumers, Samsung is slated to avoid a price hike in the Galaxy S26 series.
- Pricing Details: In the US, the upcoming S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra will likely start at $799, $999, and $1,299, respectively.
- Standard Specs: The flagships will feature 12GB RAM and 256GB storage as standard, meaning there won’t be any 128GB model for the base Galaxy S26.
- Ultra Configuration: Furthermore, the S26 Ultra variant would be available in a 16GB + 1TB configuration in select markets
