Samsung Electronics has officially introduced the Galaxy S26 series in Pakistan, with pre-orders opening on February 25, 2026, and retail availability starting March 11, 2026.
The lineup includes the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra, with prices expected to begin at $900 (PKR 250,844), $1100 (PKR 306,587), and $1300 (PKR 362,330) respectively. Final retail prices may vary due to duties and taxes.
All Galaxy S26 models launch in White, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet and Black, reinforcing a unified design identity across the lineup.
The standard Galaxy S26 and S26+ bring modest hardware changes but significant software and AI improvements. Both models ship with 12GB RAM and now start with 256GB base storage, eliminating the 128GB option. A 512GB configuration is also available.
The Galaxy S26 features a slightly larger 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1–120Hz refresh rate. Battery capacity increases to 4,300mAh while maintaining a compact form factor. Meanwhile, the S26+ retains its 6.7-inch LTPO display and 4,900mAh battery, with only a minor boost in wireless charging speed.
Chipset availability varies by region. Most markets receive the Exynos 2600 processor, while select regions including North America, China and Japan get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. Performance improvements include faster AI processing, quicker voice command execution and improved real-time features.
Camera hardware remains unchanged from the previous generation, featuring a 50MP main sensor, 10MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom, and 12MP ultra-wide camera. However, AI-powered imaging enhancements bring smarter video framing, stabilized recording and improved photo processing.
New AI-driven tools focus on everyday convenience. The updated interface organizes screenshots automatically, filters spam calls with live transcription and extracts structured information from messages and notifications. Enhanced audio processing can isolate voices and reduce background noise across multiple apps.
