See the real Galaxy S26 Ultra a Dubai YouTuber has already bought

While everyone else waits for the Galaxy S26 Ultra to be unveiled next week, in a remarkable exercise of free will, a YouTuber and influencer based in Dubai has already gone ahead and bought the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

He was apparently able to source it at a shop in the city's main retail market for electronics, but whether that shop is now selling the phone to everyone or made an exception for this gentleman remains unknown.

It's no secret that retail stores across the globe get inventory ahead of the launch. They're typically expected to abide by the company's timeframes, so it's highly unusual to see that this particular shop has already sold a phone that hasn't been officially announced, let alone wait for the pre-order period to finish.

Sahil Karoul, a tech YouTuber and influencer based in Dubai, has been sharing content about his new Galaxy S26 Ultra. He has also detailed how he was able to secure this phone, simply buying it from a retail shop.

Naturally, he's being asked many questions about how the device feels and about its various features. You can follow along on X where he expects to share more about the Galaxy S26 in the coming hours, assuming he doesn't get a nicely worded email from Samsung telling him to stop.

In case you can't swing by that shop in Dubai to pick one up weeks ahead of schedule, wait until February 25, 2026, to learn more about what the Galaxy S26 Ultra can do at Samsung's Unpacked event.
