Samsung is expected to delay the release of its Galaxy S26 series.

The Galaxy S25 series launched in January of this year, so if Samsung delays the S26 series past that timeframe, it would be a notable change. However, many people likely won't mind a later release if it means better phones.

This delay could have broader implications for Samsung's product timeline, especially given Apple's potential new iPhone release strategy. If Apple proceeds as expected, the iPhone 18 might be available before the Galaxy S26. Even if it's just the base model and the iPhone 18e, it's still a significant shift.

The potential two-month delay for the S26 could also push back the launch dates for other Samsung devices, such as the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8, potentially placing their release closer to that of a foldable iPhone.
