Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 Confirmed For Late February

The popular tipster behind the @evleaks profile shared what seems to be a leaked event invite for the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026. The official poster confirms the launch for the last Wednesday of February 2026. Unfortunately, the leak does not disclose the event location. But anyway, we all know that Samsung will hold a livestream for this reveal. We will be covering all details, of course.

Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra - The Stars of The Show

The Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26+ will bring some improvements over their predecessors, but as usual, the Ultra might be the star of the show. The new flagship will bring a slightly improved battery, faster charging, and a new design that leaves the flat edges from the past Ultra and Note phones. Samsung recently unveiled its Privacy Display feature that basically emulates the privacy screen protectors. This feature was rumored to come with the Galaxy S26 series, and with Samsung's reveal, it is basically confirmed.

Besides the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Trio, Samsung is also expected to reveal the Galaxy Buds4 series. The previous rumors suggest the same date for the Unpacked event, with sales kicking off in early March.
