Screen displays Galaxy S26 early launch—TECHi teases the lens-loaded leap into 2025.
Samsung is already set to release the Galaxy S26 Ultra at the beginning of 2026, hoping to have a place in the limelight before the massive Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, which takes place between March 2 to 4.
This competitive move can strengthen the company, Samsung as the leader in the competitive Android flagship market.
Samsung ensures that it gets the attention of the media without the need to compete with other brands by holding its own Galaxy Unpacked event ahead of MWC.
As opposed to the crowded MWC agenda order, Galaxy Unpacked provides a clear stage to present Samsung in terms of its hardware and AI-driven software innovations.
Analysts argue that this personal spotlight is what will have greatest press coverage and consumer excitement about the Galaxy S26 series.
Modern intelligence based on the OneUI source code 8.5 and leaks in the industry indicate that Samsung will present three models, including Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.
As the high-end model, the Ultra will have a unique set of cameras with a one-island design and vertical oriented lenses, the evolution of the design that spread to sales data in the previous model S26 which were also unsuccessful in sales in the previous model S26 Edge.
However, Samsung fans will be disappointed that so little is changing on the 2026 phones, and it’s something that the manufacturer has already been criticized for in the past: settling for minor upgrades year on year, compared to what Apple is doing with the best iPhones.
Samsung enjoys a reputation of pioneering AI-enhanced smartphones, starting with Galaxy S24 and S25, introducing Galaxy AI functionality (like Circle to Search), several months before the rest of Android could.
With Google evolving its AI through the use of Magic cue (an agentic AI service that will proactively surface information from a phone’s content to support the user) on the Pixel 10 Pro that predicts user intentions by isolating relevant information to use in messages, Samsung has the opportunity to counter it.
The company can enhance its Now feature with more AI implementation and provide more personalized user data that is locally processed, which is a competitive edge in smart-assistant technology.
The first-mover plays in favor of Samsung, as it has a clear first-mover advantage as it will have an opportunity to define the next stage of AI-driven handhelds before other companies introduce theirs during the MWC.
With the level of consumer demand on AI-improved devices on the rise, Samsung can thrive in its dominance in the smartphone business globally due to the secrecy of time and its technical audacity.
