Based on what we know from leaks and rumors so far, Samsung is expected to officially reveal the Galaxy S26 lineup on February 25, with the phones reportedly launching on March 11. With the announcement getting closer, further leaks are starting to fill in the missing details, and we now have a good idea about their prices.
This latest leak comes from Billbil-kun, a source well known for accurately leaking prices and release details for upcoming smartphones. According to their latest report, pricing for the Galaxy S26 series in France has been finalized, and while prices may vary slightly across the Eurozone, the differences are expected to be minor.
How much will Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 cost?
The leak states that all three models, Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, will launch in four standard colors: Black, White, Blue, and Purple. Samsung may also offer additional exclusive colors through its official store, as it has done in the past. One important change this year is storage. The 128GB option will reportedly be dropped for both the Galaxy S26 and S26+, meaning the base storage will start at 256GB.

Prices correct as of September 21st, 2026.
Unlike previous years, Samsung will not be able to keep prices unchanged. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S25 series launched at the same prices, but rising component costs appear to have forced Samsung to increase prices this time. That said, the leak claims the increases are relatively controlled. None of the models sees a massive jump, and the price difference compared to the Galaxy S25 is not extreme. The Galaxy S26 Ultra with 256GB storage, however, is expected to launch at the same price as its predecessor.
Here’s a quick look at the leaked prices, along with a comparison to the launch prices of the Galaxy S25 series.
| Storage capacity | S26 | S25 | S26+ | S25+ | S26 Ultra | S25 Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 256GB | €999 | €959 | €1,269 | €1,169 | €1,469 | €1,469 |

Samsung is also expected to offer pre-order deals, so make sure to keep an eye out for them. These deals will most likely throw in a power bank or something similar.
