SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Feb. 25, 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. unveiled the new Galaxy S26 series, introducing its most intuitive and proactive Galaxy AI experience yet. Designed to simplify everyday tasks, the lineup — Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra — reduces steps in managing schedules, searching information, capturing content and editing photos, allowing users to focus on results instead of technology.
As Samsung’s third-generation AI smartphones, the Galaxy S26 series combines powerful performance, an industry-leading camera system and advanced on-device AI, all supported by enhanced security and privacy features.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra debuts the world’s first built-in Privacy Display for mobile phones, reinforcing protection at the pixel level. It also features a customized chipset, improved thermal management and the slimmest Ultra design yet for faster, more efficient AI performance.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the S26 Ultra delivers major gains in CPU, GPU and NPU performance for seamless multitasking, gaming and AI-powered features. Super Fast Charging 3.0 provides up to 75% charge in just 30 minutes.
The Galaxy S26 camera system enhances creativity with wider apertures for better low-light photography, upgraded Nightography Video, improved Super Steady stabilization and support for APV, a new professional-grade video codec. AI-powered tools like Photo Assist, Creative Studio and Document Scan make editing and organizing content simple and intuitive.
Galaxy AI becomes more personalized and proactive with features like Now Brief, Now Nudge and enhanced Circle to Search with Google. An upgraded Bixby enables more natural conversations, while integration with Gemini and Perplexity allows users to complete multi-step tasks seamlessly.
Security remains central, with Samsung Knox, post-quantum cryptography enhancements and advanced privacy tools such as AI-powered Call Screening and Private Album.
The Galaxy S26 series is available for pre-order starting February 26, with shared color options including Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue, plus Samsung.com-exclusive Pink Gold and Silver Shadow.
