On February 10, 2026, Samsung announced it will hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25 in San Francisco. The company is expected to launch its Galaxy S26 series of smartphones at the event.
The upcoming phones will feature artificial intelligence capabilities designed to simplify everyday interactions and integrate seamlessly with users’ experiences. Samsung said the devices are “built to simplify everyday interactions, inspire confidence and make Galaxy AI feel seamlessly integrated from the moment it’s in hand.”
A new privacy display is expected to debut on the Galaxy S26 Ultra model. This feature will allow users to hide certain areas of the phone’s screen from onlookers, such as the notification area, to protect sensitive information.
Reports indicate that the top model in the lineup will use Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 processor in the United States and China, while other regions may receive models powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2600 processor. Historically, Snapdragon processors have outperformed Exynos chips in benchmarks and thermal efficiency, but recent improvements have narrowed this gap.
According to a report from SamMobile, the S26 will include a 5,100 mAh battery and support both 60W wired charging and 25W wireless charging. In addition to smartphones, Samsung is likely to introduce updated Galaxy Buds 4 wireless earbuds with a redesigned look compared to previous generations.
The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. Pacific Time and will be streamed live on Samsung’s website and YouTube channel. Samsung is offering a $30 promotional credit for consumers who pre-register interest in its upcoming devices; those who pre-register and then preorder one of the devices can receive a $150 credit without requiring a trade-in.
