Samsung officially pulled back the curtain on its highly anticipated Galaxy S26 lineup today. Based on the announcement, it’s apparent that privacy and artificial intelligence take center stage. As predicted, the lineup consists of the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra — complete with sleeker designs, faster charging, and a shakeup to their pricing structure.
While the Galaxy S26 Ultra maintains its $1,299 starting price, the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus get $100 price hikes that put them at $899 and $1,099 respectively. Another detail confirmed at Unpacked is that all three U.S. versions of the phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, whereas in other regions, the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus will lean on the Exynos 2600.
