"S26 series pre-orders are up 25% in the US and that is almost entirely on the strength of the new Galaxy S26 Ultra features. The Privacy Display in particular as well as features like horizon lock and generative edit drew in the crowd."
"The Samsung Galaxy S26+, meanwhile, is available as a cheaper option, but you are still looking at paying over $1,000 - or exactly $1,000 if you subtract the $100 gift card. The Plus has no privacy display, no 200MP main, no 5x ALoP periscope, no faster 60W charging, none of that."
"Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S26 did get upgrades like a bigger 4,300mAh battery (+300mAh) and it now matches its siblings with 256GB base storage. It has a slightly bigger 6.3" screen too (up from 6.2"), which matches the Pixel 10 and iPhone 17 (and their Pro variants)."
Samsung's Galaxy S26 series launched globally with significant pre-order increases of 25% in the US, primarily driven by the S26 Ultra's new features including Privacy Display, horizon lock, and generative edit capabilities. The S26 Ultra includes premium specifications like a 200MP main camera and 5x ALoP periscope, with a $200 Amazon gift card promotion. The S26+ offers a more affordable option at approximately $1,000 after gift card deduction but lacks the Ultra's advanced features. The base S26 received upgrades including a larger 4,300mAh battery and 256GB base storage, matching its siblings with a 6.3-inch screen. Previous generation models like the S25+ remain available at lower prices, offering minimal upgrades over the S26+ at $300 less without promotional credits.
