Samsung Electronics officially launched global sales of its new Galaxy S26 smartphones on Wednesday. This comes after the company saw record-breaking preorders for its top-tier S series.
The Korean tech giant announced that the phones are now available in Korea, the United States, Britain, and India. Samsung plans to roll out the S26 to 120 countries worldwide.
Just last week, Samsung reported that preorders for the Galaxy S26 series in Korea hit 1.35 million units. This marks a new high for the popular S series.
Globally, the premium Galaxy S26 Ultra made up over 70 percent of all preorders, showing its strong appeal to customers. The flagship series includes three different models: the standard Galaxy S26, the larger Galaxy S26+, and the advanced Galaxy S26 Ultra.
A standout feature of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is its built-in privacy display. This innovative screen lets users keep their content private without needing an extra screen protector.
Samsung explained in a press release that the phone’s hardware and software work together to protect privacy. They designed it for daily use, ensuring it doesn’t compromise the viewing experience.
The tech giant also mentioned that users can get even more out of their Galaxy S26 with the new Galaxy Buds4 wireless earphones. Samsung stated that the Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 offer “superior hi-fi audio and everyday wearability.” This makes them the best listening experience yet in the Galaxy Buds lineup.
