As expected, Samsung has taken the wraps off its flagship lineup for 2026. Introduced during the company’s recent Unpacked event, the new Galaxy devices — which include the standard S26, the larger S26 Plus, and the high-end S26 Ultra — will be available on March 11th. Preorders are now open ahead of launch, with pricing starting at

Overall, the forthcoming S26 lineup looks largely similar to last year’s S25 series, only with a handful of notable upgrades. The biggest changes this year are on the software side, with Samsung introducing a privacy display in the S26 Ultra that hides what you’re looking at from others. You also get new AI-powered features enabled by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, including a call screening tool and generative photo editing tools that allow you to type what you want changed. Samsung is also rolling out early support for a more advanced version of Gemini, which can handle certain tasks in supported apps without you having to do everything manually.

The Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus are more of the same for more money

While the hardware is largely unchanged, battery capacity has increased across the lineup, and the Ultra is now available with an optional 16GB of RAM. The standard S26 and S26 Plus also feature slightly larger OLED displays and retail for

We’ve published our hands-on impressions of the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra, and full reviews are on the way. In the meantime, if you’re ready to reserve your preorder, here’s where you can secure an S26, S26 Plus, or S26 Ultra ahead of their release next month.

The S26 remains the smallest phone in the lineup, though its display has expanded slightly to 6.3 inches, up from 6.2 inches on the S25. Like the other phones in the S26 lineup, it runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It also features a slightly larger  battery than its predecessor (4,300m Ah  vs. 4,000m Ah ), but is otherwise similar, with a 120 Hz refresh rate and the same camera setup: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel ultrawide, a 10-megapixel telephoto, and a 12-megapixel front-facing camera.

If you’re looking for a deal, Amazon is currently offering a

The S26 Plus is the middle child of the S26 lineup. It offers all the same features as the S26 — including the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor and 12GB of RAM — but with a larger, sharper 6.7-inch display. It also features a larger 4,900m Ah battery to power its bigger display, making it a good choice for those who want a large screen without splurging on the step-up S26 Ultra.

The base Galaxy S26 Ultra comes with 12GB of RAM and starts at

The 6.9-inch S26 Ultra is the largest and most capable phone in the S26 lineup. It’s also the only phone in the lineup to offer a privacy display, which makes it harder for people nearby to see what’s on your screen. The Ultra also includes Samsung’s S Pen stylus and a more advanced camera system with two telephoto lenses and a 200-megapixel wide-angle camera. You also get a 5,000m Ah battery, the largest in the lineup.

If you’re looking to save, Amazon is throwing in a

Verizon is offering a 256GB Galaxy S26 Ultra — or any Galaxy S26 model — for free when you add a new line on the Unlimited Ultimate phone plan and trade in an eligible device that meets Verizon’s trade-in criteria, with the discount applied as monthly bill credits over 36 months. You can also get the Galaxy S26 Plus for free when you add a new line on Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plans (or for $10 per month on Unlimited Welcome).
