The Galaxy S26 lineup includes the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra. The company said the new series brings its most advanced "Agentic AI" mobile experience yet, designed to make everyday tasks simpler and more intuitive.

The phones aim to reduce the effort needed to manage schedules, search for information, capture content and edit photos or videos.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is priced at Rs 1,39,999 for the 12GB+256GB variant and Rs 1,59,999 for the 12GB+512GB model, while the 16GB+1TB version costs Rs 1,89,999.

The Galaxy S26+ starts at Rs 1,19,999 for the 12GB+256GB variant and Rs 1,39,999 for the 12GB+512GB model.

The Galaxy S26 comes at Rs 87,999 for the 12GB+256GB variant and Rs 1,07,999 for the 12GB+512GB version.

Pre-orders for the Galaxy S26 series began on February 25 across leading online and offline retail stores.

Consumers can also pre-order the devices through Samsung Live on the company's official website.

The smartphones come in Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue colour options, along with Samsung.com exclusive shades Pink Gold and Silver Shadow.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces what Samsung claims is the industry's first built-in Privacy Display on a mobile phone, designed to protect user data by limiting side-angle visibility.

The device also features a customised Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy processor, delivering improvements in CPU, GPU and NPU performance for smoother multitasking and stronger on-device AI capabilities.

To manage heat during heavy usage, the Galaxy S26 Ultra comes with a redesigned vapor chamber and improved thermal materials.

It also supports Super-Fast Charging 3.0, which the company says can charge the battery up to 75 per cent in about 30 minutes.

On the camera front, the Galaxy S26 series focuses heavily on AI-powered photography and video.

The Ultra variant offers wider camera apertures for better low-light shots, enhanced Nightography Video and improved Super Steady features for stable recording.

The Cobalt Violet and Pink Gold exclusive shades look so pretty! 😍 The privacy display is a great feature, especially for commuting in metros. But honestly, the price of the Ultra is more than my laptop. It's becoming a luxury item, not just a phone.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and that vapor chamber for cooling sound perfect for gaming. Tempted to pre-order the S26+, but will check the exchange offer for my old S22. Hope the battery life is as good as they claim with that fast charging.

Living in India, the "Agentic AI" for managing schedules could be a game-changer with our chaotic traffic and last-minute plan changes! The focus on low-light photography is also key for all the evening weddings and festivals. Pricey, but the features seem tailored for a busy lifestyle here.

Respectfully, I think Samsung is losing touch with the common Indian consumer. For 1.9 lakhs, you can buy a superb two-wheeler. The tech is impressive, no doubt, but this pricing is for a very small segment. I hope they continue to innovate in the mid-range A and M series which most of us actually buy.

Pre-ordered the S26 Ultra 512GB! As a content creator, the enhanced Nightography Video and Super Steady features are exactly what I need for shooting on the go in different Indian lighting conditions. The AI editing tools will save me hours. Yes it's an investment, but for my work it's worth it. 👍
