Samsung lovers might have to wait a little longer this time. Fresh reports from South Korea suggest that the Galaxy S26 series won’t be coming in January as expected. Instead, Samsung is likely to host its Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event on February 25 in San Francisco.
Samsung Returns to San Francisco After Three Years
If the report is true, this will be Samsung’s first major launch event in San Francisco since the Galaxy S23 series in 2023. The company reportedly picked the city to make a strong comeback with its next-generation flagship phones — Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.
Why Is Samsung Delaying the Launch?
The delay could be due to changes in Samsung’s phone lineup. The company earlier planned to replace the “Plus” model with a new “Edge” version, but since the Edge didn’t perform well in sales, Samsung has decided to bring back the popular Plus model for the S26 series.
Three Models, One Big Comeback
With this change, fans can once again expect three models in the lineup:
- Galaxy S26
- Galaxy S26 Plus
- Galaxy S26 Ultra
Each phone is expected to deliver better design, battery life, and camera performance than before.
Power and Performance Updates
Reports claim that Samsung will use its own Exynos 2600 processor for all models, including the Ultra version — something not seen since the Galaxy S22. However, in some regions, the phones might still come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, depending on market availability.
The Bottom Line
The Galaxy S26 series is shaping up to be one of Samsung’s biggest launches in years. With better design, stronger performance, and the return of the Plus model, Samsung seems ready to win back the hearts of flagship fans — even if it arrives a little late.
