While we already know the Galaxy S26 series won’t be as radical an update as many wanted, it might not come with a revised price tag after all. A fresh leak, however, seems to have taken all the mystery out of the Galaxy S26’s launch date, or should I say, the first Galaxy Unpacked event’s date, and it’s on the same day as everyone expected it to be.
