Galaxy S26 Ultra Release Likely Pushed to February as Case Leak Reveals Curved Design

Industry reporting says mass production begins mid-January, suggesting a later retail window than Samsung’s usual late‑January cadence.

Overview

  • The Elec, as cited by Forbes, reports mass production of the Galaxy S26 Ultra will start in mid-January, indicating retail availability may slip into February 2026.
  • A Thinborne case listing points to a shift to more curved edges and a unified pill‑shaped camera island, with the camera module appearing thicker than the S25 Ultra.
  • Dimensions in the listing suggest a slimmer body overall but a camera stack that could measure roughly 12.4 mm including the bump.
  • The case mentions Qi2 and MagSafe‑style compatibility, implying built‑in magnets for alignment, though this charging change is not yet confirmed by Samsung.
  • Coverage continues to highlight an imaging‑led spec sheet with a reported 200MP main camera and a refreshed lineup that may drop the S26 Edge, while chipset details and regional pricing remain unconfirmed.
