After months of underwhelming leaks and speculation, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 is finally making headlines for something positive. Leaks now suggest that the Galaxy S26 base model will offer 256GB of storage -double that of the Galaxy S25, which launched at 128GB for $799 in the US. In an unusual twist, just weeks before the anticipated Unpacked event, real-life images of the Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra have yet to surface -suggesting Samsung may still be finalizing key hardware and design elements. A thinner profile or slightly lighter body, reminiscent of the “Galaxy S25 Edge,” won’t be enough to shift momentum. If Galaxy S26 launches without more standout features, it risks being remembered not as a bold evolution, but as a missed opportunity.
