Samsung will launch the Galaxy S26 series at Unpacked 2026, and the launch date is reportedly revealed. The company is in the final phase of finalizing the venue, which is almost confirmed to be San Francisco.

According to the info (via Jukan), Samsung will hold the Unpacked 2026 on February 25 to launch the Galaxy S26 series. It’s a four-week delay that is caused by the late joining of the Galaxy S26 Plus to the development.

The Galaxy S25 series was unveiled on January 22, and the phones went on the first time on February 7, 2025. That said, the Galaxy S26 series is expected to be available for purchase in the second week of March 2026.

San Francisco is the first choice for the launch venue as the location emerged as a central hub for artificial intelligence. It suggests that the Galaxy AI will take center stage at the Samsung Unpacked 2026 as well.

Why the delay?

A delayed Unpacked is caused by two main reasons: Galaxy S26 Plus and Exynos 2600. By pushing the launch event by four weeks, Samsung has targeted two aims together.

Galaxy S26 Plus development will be continued with the additional time. It was not expected to be included in the lineup next year. However, Samsung has canceled the Galaxy S26 Edge and is bringing back the Plus model.

Exynos 2600 is being tested, and Samsung Foundry’s 2nm yield is around 35 percent. A 1-month delay in commercialization brings the process node another push to improve the performance and yield for the new flagships.
