2. There are three Galaxy S26 smartphones: Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
3. A unit claimed to be the Galaxy S26 Ultra was listed for sale online, but it may actually be a test unit of the Galaxy S26 Plus.

Samsung is still more than a week away from its next Galaxy Unpacked event, where it plans to unveil new smartphones and wearable devices. So far, the company has teased exciting updates, but recent leaks reveal that there will be not just three Galaxy S26 smartphones but also two new Galaxy Buds 4 series earbuds.

Galaxy S26 Launch Details

The official launch date for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra is set for February 25. However, there is already a unit that has been listed for sale online. Reports suggest that a device claimed to be the Galaxy S26 Ultra was found on Craigslist. While the images shared on X appear to be genuine, we cannot confirm the claims that it was being sold for $1,650. It seems that the device in question is not a Galaxy S26 Ultra or an official retail unit.

Device Misidentification

It appears that the listing was an attempt to sell a test unit of the Galaxy S26 Plus. Nevertheless, recent leaks suggest that the color showcased will be available for retail models as ‘Black’. This specific finish seems to have a grayer tone compared to the Blueback version of the Galaxy S25 Plus, and it resembles the Galaxy S25 Edge more closely in this aspect (currently priced at $527 – refurbished on Amazon).
