Samsung Galaxy S26 Release Date: When’s It Hitting Pakistan?

Samsung usually kicks off the year with its S-series, but this time, it’s playing it different. Rumors point to a late February unveil at Galaxy Unpacked, specifically on February 25, 2026, in San Francisco. That’s according to top leakers like Ice Universe and Evan Blass. Pre-orders could start the next day, with the official on-sale date around March 11, 2026 avoiding Friday the 13th, apparently for good luck!

Why the delay? Word is, Samsung scrapped the ultra-slim Galaxy Edge due to poor sales, shifting production timelines. For us in Pakistan, expect availability shortly after global launch through official stores and carriers like Jazz or Telenor. Can’t wait?

Samsung Galaxy S26 Price: What’ll It Cost in PKR?

Prices are always a hot topic here in Pakistan, where we hunt for value-packed deals. Good news leaks suggest no major hike in the US, so hopefully the same for us. The base S26 might start at around £799 (roughly PKR 280,000, depending on exchange rates), S26 Plus at £999 (about PKR 350,000), and the Ultra at £1,249 (around PKR 440,000). But watch out for potential increases due to RAM shortages from the AI boom, as per Korean reports.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Design and Display: Sleeker and Smarter?

Design-wise, it’s evolution over revolution. The S26 and S26 Plus look similar to the S25, but with a new vertical pill-shaped camera island kinda like the iPhone 17’s vibe. Screens are bumping up slightly: 6.3 inches for the S26 (from 6.2) and 6.7 for the Plus. Flat edges and rounded corners stay put.

The Ultra steals the show with a slimmer frame (0.4mm thinner), metal rings around cameras, and that rumored “privacy display” to block side glances – perfect for crowded Karachi buses! It keeps the 6.9-inch display but upgrades to M14 OLED for better efficiency and up to 3,000 nits brightness. Oh, and Samsung might ditch titanium for aluminum to improve heat and weight.

Leaked renders are everywhere see this X post from Techotales sharing specs and images for a visual tease. Another one from Lakhwinder Singh on the series launch has got the community hyped.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Specs: Power Under the Hood

Performance is key for multitaskers like us. The S26 and Plus are tipped for Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chipset boasting killer NPU for AI and better GPU than Snapdragon rivals. The Ultra gets Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for top-tier speed. No worries on parity; Exynos is stepping up big time.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Cameras: Zooming In on Upgrades

Camera fans, temper expectations. The whole lineup keeps the 10MP 3x telephoto, but the Ultra shines with a 200MP main sensor at f/1.4 (better low-light) and 50MP 5x at f/2.9. Base models rely on software tweaks for improvements great for our Insta stories from Lahore’s food streets!

Samsung Galaxy S26 Battery: Longer Lasting Juice

Battery boosts are welcome in our power-outage prone country. S26 jumps to 4,300mAh (from 4,000), Ultra to 5,200mAh (from 5,000), Plus stays at 4,900mAh. Charging gets faster: 60W wired on Ultra (up from 45W), and Qi2 wireless across the board up to 25W with magnets for perfect alignment.

Wrap it up with One UI 8.5 goodies. For the best Samsung picks right now, here’s a solid roundup of top phones.
