Korean media outlet The Elec reported over the weekend that the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series may be delayed to March 2026 instead of the traditional end of January. So, what should you know about it?
Last-minute cancellation due to poor demand
For your information, the delay comes after Samsung reportedly cancelled the launch of the Galaxy S26 Edge due to the lack of response to the Galaxy S25 Edge. At the last minute, the Samsung Galaxy S26+ had to be developed as a replacement device, which took an additional few months.
Previously, Samsung was believed to be marketing the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge. It is now believed to be replaced by the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+.
Although the Galaxy S25 Edge is a premium, thin and light device, sales have fallen short of Samsung's target. The small battery and only dual cameras make it less appealing to the public than other versions.
This is an issue that Apple also faced after the iPhone Air was launched. There have been reports that the iPhone Air is not in high demand, with low sales. Leading analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that iPhone Air production has been reduced by up to 80% as it nears the end of its life due to low sales.
