During the first half of 2025, it was believed that Samsung would shake things up a little for the Galaxy S26 series . Rumours suggested that only the Ultra model would retain its spot while the other models would get major changes. The base Galaxy S26 would be replaced with the S26 Pro, and the S26+ the S26 Edge.
Leaks in the second half of 2025 reported that Samsung had cancelled its plans for the shakeup. It suggested that the company would play it safe. Samsung has now officially confirmed what models to expect in its upcoming lineup.
According to SamMobile , Samsung released a PDF on its Colombian website that lists promotions for its range of devices, including monthly payment plans available for each. This contains the specific names of the devices that make up the series.
The Galaxy S25 series is also mentioned in the sheet, as well other devices. For the S26 , it does not make any mention of a ‘Pro’ or an ‘Edge’ model . Other than the model names, the document confirms the payment options for the upcoming devices, including 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. This might be applicable to the US or maybe not.
With familiar names appearing in the official document, it makes things clearer about the upcoming lineup. Although the ‘Pro’ model wasn’t mentioned, the base Galaxy S26 could serve as a ‘Pro’ device without the suffix. Although the S26 Edge has been put on hold, Samsung may decide to launch a second model later this year.
We expect to see the Samsung Galaxy S26 series launch in late February, precisely on February 25, 2026. This includes the Galaxy S26, S26 plus and S26 Ultra.

Among so many UWB-based tracking products out there is Samsung’s SmartTag brand. All of them are compatible with Android devices, but Samsung is likely to take an Apple-like approach to its brand of SmartTag .
It’s expected that the UWB functionality will work even when it’s purchased from a third party . This is not expected to cause any inconveniences with some users.
According to a Reddit user’s claim , Samsung is limited to the UWB technology on its phones for third-party tags. If that’s the case, you’re to use a Samsung Galaxy SmartTag with a Galaxy device to get the full benefit of this technology.
The user has also noted that their Galaxy S24 only enables the UWB Direction Engine and it happens when a Samsung smart tag is detected. It continues to keep it disabled for third-party trackers. When this is the case, it pushes the phone to UWB Lite.
A comparison between the Galaxy SmartTag+ and a Moto Tag from Motorola on the same Galaxy S24 Ultra produced different results as the phone offered all of the features for the SmartTag+ and the reverse was the case with the Moto Tag.
Moreso, some users claim that all UWB functionalities work well for a Moto Tag on Samsung phones. Other reasons may be responsible for the UWB behaviour for third-party tags on Samsung phones and Samsung is proceeding with the Apple route for this technology.
