Overview
- Samsung raised its April Galaxy S26 production target to 3 million units after stronger-than-expected orders from retailers and carriers.
- Industry sources say the Galaxy S26 Ultra now accounts for about 70% to 80% of series demand, helped by its Privacy Display that limits side viewing.
- The revised April split favors the base S26 and the Ultra, with targets of 1.3 million and 1.5 million units, while the S26+ is cut to 200,000.
- Samsung trimmed output goals for several Galaxy A models as higher DRAM and NAND prices squeeze margins on lower-cost phones.
- ET News-based reports indicate Samsung is considering a Galaxy S27 Pro next year as a smaller, Ultra-like option without an S Pen and possibly used to trial new battery tech, which remains unconfirmed.
