According to a new report from Korea, Samsung is raising production for the Galaxy S26 series this month. The company initially planned to manufacture a total of 2.4 million units in April, of which 800,000 would be the S26, 300,000 would be the S26+, and 1.3 million would be the S26 Ultra.

However, it seems like the Galaxy S26 is a surprise hit, the S26 Ultra is selling a tiny bit better than expected, and the S26+ is selling less than Samsung would want. The new, updated production numbers for April are 1.3 million S26 units, 1.5 million S26 Ultra units, and 200,000 S26+ units.
To prepare for this production boost in April, Samsung ordered more parts in March, which will now go into the finished products. The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s high share of the family pie is explained by sources within the industry as partly having to do with the Privacy Display feature, which is apparently winning over a lot of people.
Interestingly, Samsung has revised its production target for the Galaxy A57 for April down to 1.6 million units from the initial forecast presented in mid-March of 1.8 million. The company will also make 3.9 million units of the Galaxy A17 this month, down from the 4.4 million forecasted last month.
