Samsung is now gearing up to introduce the Galaxy S26 series. The early leaks suggest that the lineup could introduce the Galaxy S26, S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra. While the first two devices will receive minor upgrades, all the spotlight will be on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. And as a result, the device has been a hot topic for the leaksters. To fuel these rumours, a potential unboxing video of Galaxy S26 Ultra has surfaced online.
However, the video seems to show an early or test version of the phone. While Samsung has not acknowledged the video, the design and details match earlier leaks about the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The video was shared by Ice Universe, who is known for giving reliable early leaks about Samsung phones, so many people believe it could be real. Based on this leaked video and earlier reports, here is a simple and clear look at what the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may offer, including its expected launch time in India, possible features, and price.

Samsung is expected to launch the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event, which is reported to be held on February 25, 2026, in San Francisco. At this event, the company is expected to launch the Galaxy S26 series, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Going by Samsung’s usual pattern, the phone could arrive in India a few weeks after the global launch. However, Samsung has not officially confirmed the India launch date yet. The Galaxy S25 series was launched earlier than expected, so there is also a small chance that Samsung may change its schedule again. For now, February 2026 remains the most likely launch window.
