I've looked at every Samsung Galaxy S26 price and release date rumor so far — here's what I think will happen

This year, like every year, Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones have been tipped extensively, with rumors revealing many of the likely specs and features, as well as commenting on possible pricing and release dates.

So we now have a good idea of what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, though when it comes to prices and the release date in particular, not all of the rumors agree.

But having looked through all of them – and factoring in Samsung’s typical launch timings – I’ve predicted when I think the Galaxy S26 series will be announced, when pre-orders will open, when the phones will ship, and how much they will cost.
