"Apparently, Samsung was initially planning on taking the new display panel that it had developed for the S26 Edge and using it on the Plus model. Then it decided against that, which left it with no time for a replacement part, so the S26+ will use an almost identical panel to that of the Galaxy S25+. It should use a new glass, though."
"The vanilla Galaxy S26 is getting a new display - it will reportedly measure 6.27", making it 0.11" bigger than the 6.16" panel on the outgoing Galaxy S25. Maybe the S26 Edge panel would have been bigger - last year's S25+ and S25 Edge both used 6.7" panels. Or maybe the company had other upgrades in store, we may never know."
"This is in part because it was the phone it was always meant to be (unlike the other two, which replace the planned S26 Edge and S26 Pro, respectively), but also because Samsung chose to prioritize securing components for the Ultra. Right now the production targets are 3.6 million Ultras, 700,000 vanilla phones and 600,000 Plus models. These targets will be adjusted in February - Samsung will reportedly target higher volumes for the vanilla and Plus models while dialing back production for the Ultra."
Samsung canceled the Galaxy S26 Edge late in development and replaced it with the Galaxy S26+, which began development late. The S26+ was initially planned to use the new display panel developed for the S26 Edge but Samsung reversed that decision, leaving no time for a replacement and resulting in an almost identical panel to the Galaxy S25+ with new glass. The vanilla Galaxy S26 will receive a new 6.27" display, larger than the S25's 6.16" panel. The S26 Ultra entered mass production early as Samsung prioritized its components. Current production targets are 3.6 million Ultras, 700,000 vanilla phones, and 600,000 Plus models, with adjustments planned in February.
