Recent reports indicate a potential shift in the launch timeline for Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy S series smartphones. Initial speculation suggested a March 2026 debut, a departure from the established January release schedule. Further supporting this, a new report originating from South Korea suggests a delay in the mass production phase of the Galaxy S26 series.
The report details a revised mass production schedule for the Galaxy S26 models. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is now slated to commence mass production in December, while the Galaxy S26 and S26+ models are projected to enter mass production in January.
Originally, Samsung’s plan included initiating mass production for all three Galaxy S26 models in December. This schedule has been altered, according to the report, due to the cancellation of the Galaxy S26 Edge variant’s development.
The company is now required to redirect resources to develop the Galaxy S26+, a process that may necessitate an additional one to two months. It is important to note that the development of both the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra models has reportedly reached completion.

Consequently, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is scheduled to enter mass production first, followed by the Galaxy S26, and concluding with the Galaxy S26+. This production delay is anticipated to affect the overall product launch timeline.
