A major slip occurred when Samsung’s Colombian website accidentally published a financing page that explicitly listed the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra by name. This is one of the clearest early confirmations of the official lineup from Samsung itself rather than just industry leaks. The page appeared briefly and included pricing/financing layout options before being taken down. This strongly implies that Samsung has fully finalized the S26 series names and models ahead of the official announcement.
Importantly, this leak does not include any “Galaxy S26 Edge” or “S26 Pro” names, effectively killing persistent rumors about additional variants. The confirmed lineup remains the three-model configuration:
- Galaxy S26 (standard)
- Galaxy S26+ (Plus)
- Galaxy S26 Ultra (Ultra)
Launch & Release Timeline Confirmed
The Samsung Colombian leak also corroborates previously reported launch timing:
- Galaxy Unpacked Event: February 25, 2026 in San Francisco, USA.
- Retail Availability: March 11, 2026 in key global markets including North America, Europe, and Asia.
These dates align with earlier industry reports and make Samsung’s Unpacked one of the first big flagship events of the year timed just ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026.
Battery & Charging Specifications
Galaxy S26 Ultra
- Battery Capacity: 5,000 mAh (confirmed via certification documents).
Despite competitors pushing 6,000 mAh+ cells, Samsung is sticking with 5,000 mAh in its top Ultra model, likely relying on efficiency gains from its chipset and software to deliver competitive battery life. - Charging: 60W wired fast charging up from typical 45W on past base/Plus models, though still not class-leading compared with some Android rivals.
Galaxy S26+
- Battery Capacity: 4,900 mAh
This is close to last generation’s Plus battery but paired with a boost in charging speed. - Charging: 45W wired fast charging matching the rumored jump for the standard model as well.
