Exact launch dates for Samsung's flagship Galaxy S26 lineup in its home market have been revealed. The well-known insider Ice Universe has published the release timeline for South Korea, providing a clear picture of Samsung's plans for early 2026.
The Galaxy S26 will be unveiled at the traditional Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25. Pre-orders will open the very next day, February 26, and run until March 4. This move highlights the company's confidence in the product and its readiness to bring the new devices to retail quickly.
The next phase involves early sales. From March 5 to March 10, the smartphones will be available to a limited group of buyers, including those who placed pre-orders or are part of special programs. The full sales launch in the market is scheduled for March 11, aligning with Samsung's typical spring schedule for flagship updates.
Since the South Korean release usually sets the pace for other regions, the global launch of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra is likely to follow these dates closely. In the coming weeks, more leaks about the specifications and key features of the new series are expected to emerge.
