Overview
- Multiple outlets report a Galaxy Unpacked reveal on February 25, with store availability roughly two weeks later, around March 11.
- Leakers say the S26 Ultra will skip built‑in Qi2 magnets, with magnetic rings shifting to official cases to prevent interference with the integrated S Pen.
- Reported core specs include a thinner, lighter chassis with a pill‑style camera island, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 200MP main camera, 256GB base storage and a 5,000 mAh battery.
- Coverage raises concerns that a 5,000 mAh cell may feel conservative for a 2026 flagship, while a rumored 60W wired charge rate is not yet well corroborated.
- Pricing leaks point to a sub‑2‑million‑won target for Ultra in Korea and U.S. estimates of about $859, $1,059 and $1,359, with software reports also mentioning a new privacy layer.
