Samsung recently unveiled its latest Galaxy S26 lineup at the Unpacked event, introducing the baseline S26 starting at $899.99, the S26 Plus at $1,099.99, and the top-tier S26 Ultra priced at $1,299.99. While the new series showcases minor hardware updates, including new Galaxy AI software features, there are a few key differences to highlight.
The base S26 model now offers 256GB storage, a larger battery, and a slightly bigger 6.3-inch screen, though it lacks mmWave 5G support. The S26 Plus, priced $100 higher, provides fewer upgrades compared to the base model. The Ultra model, on the other hand, boasts enhanced features like a larger battery, improved cameras, S Pen support, and expanded storage and RAM options.
Notably, the price gap between the cheapest and most expensive S26 models has decreased to $400 from last year’s $500. Preorders for all new phones commence on February 25th, with shipping scheduled for March 11th. Samsung also announced the upcoming release of Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro, available for preorder ahead of their March 11th launch.
