Now, as 2026 draws near, that rhythm appears to be shifting, with the Galaxy S26 series rumored to debut on February 25 in San Francisco. A firmware leak, surfacing before its time, has already pulled back the curtain on both the new timeline and a quiet but meaningful redesign — suggesting that even the most disciplined institutions eventually choose to evolve.
