Samsung has announced its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, set for February 25 in San Francisco, where the much-anticipated Galaxy S26 series of smartphones will be unveiled.
AI capabilities will once again take center stage, with Samsung emphasizing that the new phones are designed to streamline daily interactions and seamlessly integrate Galaxy AI right from the start.
One of the standout features teased by the company is a privacy display expected to make its debut on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This feature will enable users to conceal specific areas of the screen to safeguard sensitive information, such as hiding the notification area from prying eyes.
Reports indicate that the flagship model in the lineup will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 processor in the U.S. and China, while other regions may see Samsung’s own Exynos 2600 processor. Additionally, the Galaxy S26 is rumored to come equipped with a 5,100 mAh battery and support 60W wired charging along with 25W wireless charging.
Aside from smartphones, Samsung is expected to unveil the updated Galaxy Buds 4 wireless earbuds, featuring a redesigned look compared to the previous generation, drawing comparisons to Apple’s AirPods.
The event is scheduled to kick off at 10 AM PT/ 1 PM ET/ 7 PM CET and will be live-streamed on Samsung’s website and its YouTube channel.
