Other sites like SamMobile and News1 Korea agree. It’s mainly for South Korea, but it matches plans worldwide. Samsung skipped March 13 because some people think Friday the 13th is bad luck, especially in the West. So, they picked a Wednesday instead.
Pre-orders might give you extras like $50 credit for phone cases or chargers. Past Samsung launches did this.The “pre-sale” may be for people who sign up early. It gives them a short 7-day window to book the phone first and get ahead of others. Rumors say the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may be more expensive this time. The higher price could be because of better cameras, smarter AI features, and a larger screen.
According to Forbes, Samsung is expected to officially reveal the phone in late February 2026, which is earlier than some previous Galaxy models. Many people are excited about the launch. These leaks help fans plan their purchase in advance and decide whether to reserve the phone early.

If you reserve now, you might get deals on trade-ins or free stuff.
Samsung does this to start sales strong. Watch for your country’s dates—they might change a bit.
