Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled its Galaxy S26 lineup of smartphones, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence features and real-world privacy over major design changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new devices, announced Wednesday at an event in San Francisco, include the extra-large Galaxy S26 Ultra ($1,300), the Galaxy S26 Plus ($1,100) and the more standard-sized Galaxy S26 ($900) – with prices that put Samsung in direct competition with Apple Inc.’s iPhone 17 line. While the Ultra costs the same as its predecessor, the Plus and S26 are both $100 more expensive than last year’s models, an increase that may partially be explained by the ongoing memory chip crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The South Korean company also announced two pairs of earbuds, the $249 Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and the $179 Galaxy Buds 4. All of the new Galaxy products are available for pre-order immediately and will arrive in stores March 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
