Samsung Confirms Galaxy S26 Launch Event for Feb. 25

Samsung has confirmed that the next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on Feb. 25 in San Francisco, where the Galaxy S26 series will be revealed. It feels like a missed opportunity not to showcase the S26 on the 26th; still, the launch should be an interesting one, with three new models introducing what Samsung claims will be a "new phase in the era of AI." will be streamed via Samsung's official YouTube channel and website. The invite says Samsung will mark a new phase for Galaxy AI and describes the S26 lineup as its next AI phone push.

The phones appearing at the event are the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra . Reports indicate that Samsung will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for the Galaxy chip in the S26 Ultra in most markets, while the S26 and S26+ will likely run on Samsung's Exynos 2600 , which uses a 2 nm process. There have been mixed rumors about the camera on the S26 series; the base and Plus phones are expected to have the same camera specs, but the Ultra might feature an improved sensor unit. Personally, I'm most excited about the rumored built-in privacy filter on the S26 Ultra.

Samsung is already taking pre-reservations for the new devices in exchange for a $30 Samsung credit. Galaxy Unpacked will stream via the brand's website and official YouTube channel .
