Has the Galaxy S26 been delayed? According to this claim, the arrival of Samsung's new flagship may be delayed!

Rumors surrounding Samsung 's new flagship series are growing. While the South Korean tech giant hasn't officially announced the Galaxy S26 series yet, leaks suggest the launch schedule may have shifted. Experts suggest the company may deviate from its traditional schedule this time around.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S26 MAY BE POSTPONED

Samsung was expected to launch its upcoming Galaxy S26 series early next year, but according to a report in Android Central, a source known for their reliable leaks has claimed that the launch has been delayed.

It was initially thought that the company was aiming to announce the Galaxy S26 series in January 2026, which would align with the Galaxy S25's release schedule. However, Ice Universe posted on Weibo, "The Samsung Galaxy S26 series launch has been postponed." The post didn't provide a possible reason for the delay or any other details about the new launch date.

This post was made on Tuesday, October 22, just minutes after another leakster, Instant Digital, shared a claim on Weibo that “To better serve everyone, the launch of the Galaxy S26 series may be postponed to March.”

Since the Galaxy S26 is still in the rumored stage and Samsung has not made an official announcement yet, it is not known exactly when the new flagship series will be introduced.

The Galaxy S25 was announced in January 2025 and went on sale the following month. If these two leakers' claims about the Galaxy S26 delay are true, the launch is likely to take place in February or March 2026.

This isn't the first rumor about the Galaxy S26.

If the Galaxy S26 series is indeed being delayed, the exact reason for the delay likely remains unclear, but other rumors about Samsung's launch plans offer some insight into what's going on.

Most recently, it was claimed that the company was working on a series consisting of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, with just a few months until the expected launch window, the rumors have completely shifted. It's now believed that Samsung will cancel the Galaxy S26 Edge entirely and release the Galaxy S26 Plus instead. Shortly after, leaks emerged suggesting that the Galaxy S26 Pro name would also be discontinued, and that the model would simply be called the Galaxy S26.

While rumors that Samsung has postponed the Galaxy S26 launch are attracting attention, we will have to wait to see if these rumors turn out to be true.
