According to the French source Dealabs, retail sales of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 smartphone line will commence on March 11 – two weeks after its premiere in the USA on February 25. It is expected that the March 11 date will also be relevant for other key international markets. The lineup will traditionally include three versions: Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

However, it remains unclear if this price increase will affect Europe. Exact European price lists and memory configurations have not yet been disclosed. Earlier reports indicated that the Galaxy S26 Ultra would charge significantly faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra: from 0 to 75% in just half an hour.
Exciting Features and Technological Advancements
The new series is likely to introduce cutting-edge display technologies, possibly featuring improved refresh rates and enhanced resolutions. This would offer users a more vivid and responsive user experience, aligning Samsung with emerging industry standards.
Fast-Charging Capabilities
The speed at which devices can charge has become a crucial feature for consumers. Recent trends show a growing focus on fast-charging technology, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra seems poised to lead in this domain with its impressive capability to reach 75% charge in just 30 minutes.
Competition on the Horizon
As the launch of Samsung’s flagship models approaches, attention also turns to potential competitors from industry giants like Apple, Huawei, and Xiaomi. These brands are constantly releasing new innovations that keep the competition fierce, which could impact consumer choices and market success for Samsung.
