Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Launch Date
Most reports say the Galaxy S26 series will launch in late January 2026 through a Samsung Unpacked event. Retail sales and shipping are expected to start in early to mid February 2026 in key markets.
Some coverage mentions that India may get the phone a few weeks after the global launch. That would put the India release around late February or March 2026 if Samsung follows its usual pattern.
These dates are all leaks and industry reports. Samsung has not confirmed the launch timeline yet so details can still change.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Expected Features
Leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra will stay a premium flagship with high end hardware. It is expected to use a Snapdragon 8 Elite series chip likely a next generation 3 nm processor for better performance and efficiency.
Reports say the phone may get a larger battery around 5200 mAh with faster charging up to about 65 watt wired and improved wireless charging. This would be a small capacity bump over the S25 Ultra along with a noticeable speed jump for charging.
On the display side leaks mention a new M14 OLED panel with higher brightness and possibly up to 144 hertz refresh rate. Some reports also talk about Color on Encapsulation tech and an AI based privacy feature that narrows viewing angles.
Camera rumors point to a 200 megapixel main sensor with a quad camera setup. Expected setup includes a 200 megapixel primary camera a 50 megapixel ultra wide a 50 megapixel telephoto and a 10 megapixel telephoto with 3x optical zoom.
The front camera may keep a similar sensor but use a larger punch hole cutout with a wider field of view for group selfies. Storage and memory options are tipped to go up to 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage which fits the Ultra branding.
All these specs are early leaks and can change before launch. For now they help outline what to expect from the Galaxy S26 Ultra in 2026.
