Samsung Galaxy S26 Tipped for March, Plus Model Returns as ‘More Slim’ Edge Slips to Later

Samsung's vertical integration is cited as giving it room to hold prices near S25 levels despite rising component costs.

Overview

  • Multiple leakers report the Galaxy S26 launch has been pushed to March 2026, with Korean reporting indicating S26 Ultra mass production in December and the other models following later.
  • GalaxyClub uncovered a new device codenamed More Slim, suggesting a revised ultra‑thin Edge is in development that differs from the previously scrapped model.
  • Coverage now points to a three‑phone launch lineup — Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra — with the ultra‑thin variant likely arriving months afterward.
  • The long‑running regional chip split is expected to continue, pairing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in many regions with Samsung’s Exynos 2600 elsewhere.
  • South Korean outlet Newdaily reports Samsung could hold S26 pricing at S25 levels due to in‑house memory production and partial reliance on its own silicon.
