The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is gearing up for a highly anticipated launch event on February 25th, with the phones expected to hit stores by March 11th. This news comes from a report by Tech Advisor, which also highlights early Geekbench results showcasing impressive performance scores for the S26+ and S26 Ultra smartphones running on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips.
While the US market may avoid any price increases, regions like South Korea could see a rise in prices due to escalating costs of RAM modules. This increase is attributed to a doubling in prices over the past year, with the potential for a further 40% hike in the latter half of 2026.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 is set to be officially unveiled on February 25th at 7 PM French time, which translates to 6 PM UK time. The upcoming flagship devices are expected to offer top-notch performance, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra achieving a multi-core score exceeding 11,000 on Geekbench.
Both the Galaxy S26+ and S26 Ultra are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with 12GB of RAM, ensuring smooth operation and high performance. It is interesting to note that the Galaxy S26 Ultra seems to be running at a slightly lower speed compared to previous models, indicating potential optimizations in the chipset.
As the launch date approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting more information on pricing and availability, especially in European markets. Stay tuned for more updates on the Samsung Galaxy S26 series and get ready to experience the latest in smartphone technology.
