A recent rumor suggested that Samsung will launch its Galaxy S series of phones in March 2026, deviating from its usual January launch window. Now, a report from Korea has revealed that Samsung has delayed mass production of the Galaxy S26 phone, adding weight to the rumor.
The report claims that Samsung will begin mass production of the Galaxy S26 Ultra in December. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ will enter mass production in January.
Samsung initially planned to start production of all three Galaxy S26 models in December. However, the schedule has reportedly been delayed due to the cancellation of development of the Galaxy S26 Edge variant.
The company now needs to develop the Galaxy S26+, a process that could take an additional month or two. Notably, development of the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra has reportedly been completed.

As a result, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will enter mass production first, followed by the Galaxy S26 and finally the Galaxy S26+. Production delays, therefore, are expected to push back the launch timeline.
