Galaxy Unpacked 2026 and the launch of the Samsung S26
According to industry reports, the launch of the Galaxy series will take place during the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event, scheduled for February 25, 2026. Official sales starting on March 11, 2026 will conclude the announcement and presentation phase of the new devices. Traditionally, the highest interest in GSM phone accessories appears even before smartphone sales begin, as customers complete protection and add-ons for their new devices.
New Samsung flagship models
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy series is expected to include several variants designed to meet different user needs:
- Samsung Galaxy S26 – the base flagship model,
- Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus – a larger display and a bigger battery,
- Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – the top-tier Galaxy with S Pen support,
- possible line extensions such as the Galaxy S26 Pro or Galaxy S26 Edge.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as a sales driver
The Ultra model traditionally serves as the technological showcase of the Samsung brand. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, reports point to a 200 MP ISOCELL HP2 camera, advanced AI in mobile photography, a large Dynamic AMOLED display, and integration with the S Pen. This is the model that generates the highest shopping baskets—users are more likely to invest in premium screen protectors, reinforced protective cases, and accessories dedicated to working with the stylus.
The latest Samsung S26 specifications performance Android 16 and 5G
The new Samsung Galaxy smartphones are expected to run on Android 16 with the One UI 8.5 interface. High performance is set to be delivered by the new Exynos 2600 processor, supporting 5G and advanced artificial intelligence features. In practice, this means more intensive smartphone usage—streaming, photography, and mobile work—and consequently a higher demand for power and charging accessories as well as protective solutions.
Battery capacity and fast charging and their real impact on accessories
Leaks point to a 4300 mAh battery, a 4750 mAh battery, and a 5000 mAh battery, depending on the model. At the same time, there is talk of 45W fast charging and even 60W fast charging. While larger batteries mean a longer operating time, users are increasingly opting for:
- additional wall and car chargers,
- certified USB-C cables,
- power banks for everyday use.
For retailers, this is a clear signal that power accessories will be one of the key pillars of sales after the launch of the new series.

Price of the Samsung Galaxy S26 and customer purchasing decisions
The estimated Samsung Galaxy price for the new generation is expected to be higher than the average Galaxy S25 price. The average price of the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ is likely to continue the upward trend. Higher-priced Galaxy models from the Ultra segment are expected to set a high price benchmark once again. The higher the Samsung price, the greater the customer tendency to protect the device. This directly translates into increased sales of cases, screen protectors, and premium accessories.
Design, colors, and changes compared to the Galaxy S25
The new Galaxy series is expected to stand out with an elegant design, a slim body, and redesigned camera modules. Leaks also point to special color variants such as Galactical Blue, Black Shadow, and Ultraviolet. Each design change means the need to quickly introduce new lines of cases and accessories visually matched to the top Galaxy models.

A new Samsung flagship always acts as a strong sales driver.

For the GSM accessories market, this creates tangible opportunities to increase sales, provided that the offer is properly prepared before the official Galaxy series presentation.
