The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is reportedly set to launch with a display panel largely identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy S25+. This revelation stems from insiders speaking to the Korean publication The Elec, indicating that a late decision by Samsung to cancel the planned Galaxy S26 Edge and bring back the S26+ led to a rushed development cycle. Consequently, there wasn't sufficient time to integrate a new display technology that was initially intended for the S26 Edge into the Plus model. Credible sources like Android Authority, 9to5Google, and PhoneArena corroborate these reports, noting that the S26+ is expected to feature the same 6.66-inch screen as the S25 Plus, with only minor changes to components like the cover glass. In contrast, the vanilla Galaxy S26 is anticipated to receive a slight display upgrade, growing to 6.27 inches from the S25's 6.16 inches. Production targets further highlight Samsung's strategic focus, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra receiving significantly higher production volumes (3.6 million units) compared to the vanilla S26 (700,000 units) and S26+ (600,000 units). The Galaxy S26 series is widely expected to be unveiled on February 25, 2026, slightly later than previous generations, with sales commencing in early March. Estimated pricing for the Indian market suggests the Galaxy S26 could start at approximately Rs 84,999, the S26+ at Rs 99,999, and the S26 Ultra closer to Rs 1,34,999. Samsung has not officially confirmed these details, maintaining the speculative nature of the reports.
