Galaxy S26 confirmed to launch next month, pre-orders to begin from February 26
South Korean tech giant Samsung is all set to debut its Galaxy S26 series at a Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for February 25, 2026.
The new Galaxy S lineup includes three variants, namely the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+, and the standard Galaxy S26, with the Ultra model being in the lead with the highest-end specifications, thereby falling in the premium smartphone segment.
Earlier leaks suggested the inclusion of a Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge, but weak demand for the S25 Edge and competitive pricing from Apple’s iPhone 17 appear to have caused Samsung to retain its traditional S-series trio.
A few other previous rumours from a Finnish retailer disclosed significant upgrades in the Galaxy S26 series, including:
- Base storage upgrade: Entry-level Galaxy S26 and S26+ starting at 256 GB storage, with an option for 512 GB.
- Colour options: Expected in black, white, sky blue, and cobalt violet, with additional colours available online.
- Galaxy S26 Ultra features: High-refresh-rate AMOLED display, advanced multi-lens camera system, flagship Snapdragon or Exynos chipset, long-lasting battery, and premium design.
Preorders for the Galaxy S26 models could begin on February 26, 2026, immediately following the launch.
The Galaxy maker typically complements pre-orders with incentives such as boosted trade-in values, exclusive colour options, and free subscriptions to services like Google AI Pro.
Last but not least, the Galaxy S26 series fortifies Samsung’s position in multiple segments, attracting both premium buyers and those looking for high-storage mid-range options.

‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in chaos as Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman exit
Strictly Come Dancing is facing a big shake-up after beloved hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped away from the show.
With the programme looking for fresh energy, reports say that comedian and actress Miranda Hart is in talks to join.
Fans might remember Miranda from her hit sitcom and from cheering on her friend Sarah Hadland during last year’s series.
Sources, however, said that she could bring her funny, warm personality to the show, talking to the celebs, dancers and judges, helping to keep the programme lively and entertaining.
Even though Miranda spent recent years enjoying a quieter life away from the spotlight, she has never lost her connection to television.
BBC bosses apparently see her humour as a perfect fit for the role, bringing the kind of lightness and charm that viewers loved in the past.
While nothing is confirmed yet, insiders are excited about the possibility.
If it happens, it could mark a new chapter for Strictly Come Dancing, mixing familiar comedy with the glitz and glamour of the dance floor.
Fans are waiting to see if Miranda’s easygoing style will breathe new life into the show.

Trevor Oakes of ‘Showaddywaddy’ dies aged 79, know the reason here
Trevor Oakes, guitarist who helped make Showaddywaddy famous all over the world, has died at the age of 79 after fighting bravely with a long illness.
The icon passed away peacefully on February 18, leaving all of his fans and friends heartbroken.
Trevor’s former bandmate Dave Bartram paid a touching tribute for him, calling him “a unique character and a dedicated professional” who played a huge part in the band’s success.
Trevor was there from the very start, helping the band bring back songs from the 1950s and 1960s for a new generation.
Showaddywaddy, however, then got Top 10 hits, including the number one song Under the Moon of Love in 1976.
Dave remembered him as not just a talented musician but also a loving family man with a cheeky sense of humour, saying that he will be “sadly missed by all those dear to him.”
Though Trevor stepped away from performing in 2009 due to health problems, his spirit and influence stayed with the band, which continues to tour today under Dave’s management.
Only one original member remains on stage but Trevor’s energy and love for music live on in every show.
Fans, moreover, will always remember him for the joy, laughter and music he shared over years.
