Samsung just shared some official information about the u[cp,omh Galaxy S26 series — and it sounds promising. During its Q3 2025 earnings call, the company confirmed that the upcoming Galaxy S26 series will pack a few significant upgrades, including “next-gen AI” features, a new chipset, and “new camera sensors”.

It’s the first time Samsung has spoken publicly about the Galaxy S26, after months of messy leaks and speculation. Early reports have painted a confusing picture — from talk about the Exynos 2600 replacing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in some regions to the rumored cancellation of the Galaxy S26 Edge and a surprise return of the S26+. That reshuffle could even push the launch back to March 2026.

Trying to calm the noise, Daniel Araujo, VP of Samsung’s Mobile Experience division, told investors that the S26 lineup will “revolutionize the user experience with next-gen AI, as well as offer its own 2nd-generation chipset, stronger performance, and new camera sensors.”

That quote alone confirms a few things. The Exynos 2600 is happening, at least for certain models. Built on a 2nm process, it’s expected to perform much closer to Qualcomm’s 3nm chip this time — something a recent GeekBench listing has hinted at.

Unfortunately, the company executive only mentioned new camera sensors, and it’s too vague to get a clear idea of what to expect. Looking back, the S26 (then referred to as the S26 Pro) was rumored to feature the same camera hardware that’s been in use since the Galaxy S22. Tipster @OutofGalaxyy even joked, “Consistency is key!!!!!!!!.”

Soon after, another tipster, @Jukanlosreve, contradicted that claim, saying “the main sensor used in the S26 Pro will be a combination of Sony’s new 50MP 1.0µm sensor and Samsung’s new 50MP sensor, applied differently depending on the region.” While the primary sensor may come from Sony rather than Samsung, the pixel size matches what the Galaxy S22 offered.

As for the Ultra, a previous leak pointed to a modest resolution bump from 10MP to 12MP for the 3x telephoto camera — not particularly groundbreaking, but still aligning with the “new camera sensors” phrasing mentioned by the Samsung executive. We’ll hopefully have more to share as development on the Galaxy S26 series moves forward.

A trusted tipster said yesterday that Samsung decided to postpone the launch of the Galaxy S26 series. That followed an earlier report that claimed the phones would arrive in March. Well, some additional information just surfaced, adding more context to the whole story.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series will seemingly launch in late February or early March

According to a new report from WinFuture, the launch date for the Galaxy S26 series has been pushed back to late February or early March. This is not a first for Samsung, as the Galaxy S22 series arrived in late February, while the Galaxy S23 series was announced in mid-February.

With the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S25 series phones, however, the company has been sticking to the January launch timeframe. It seems like the company decided to change things up now, and the indecisiveness could have a lot to do with that.

Samsung is making last-minute changes across the lineup

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra were supposed to launch. Based on recent reports, however, Samsung has decided to launch the Galaxy S26 instead of the Galaxy S26 Pro, and the Galaxy S26+ instead of the Galaxy S26 Edge.

We don’t know if that will affect the designs that we’ve exclusively revealed, but Samsung could be changing just the names. It remains to be seen. The Galaxy S26 Ultra, which was initially planned is still coming.

Samsung is also having some problems with the Exynos 2600 as well, it seems. Reports are claiming that half of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series phones are expected to use that chip, and it still has a low yield, based on reports.

A separate report says that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will go into mass production in December, earlier than the other two phones. The Galaxy S26 and  Galaxy S26+ are said to join in January.
