Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Expected to Drop This Month
"The South Korean tech giant confirmed Tuesday that Galaxy Unpacked 2026 will take place Feb. 25 in San Francisco, where the company is expected to unveil its Galaxy S26 series. The keynote kicks off at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) and will stream live on Samsung.com, YouTube, and the company's newsroom. This year's Unpacked arrives notably later than Samsung's typical January timeline for Galaxy S launches. The company hasn't publicly explained the delay, though industry whispers point to behind-the-scenes reshuffling."
"The company signaled a strong focus on artificial intelligence in its official invite, saying the event will mark "a new phase in the era of AI as intelligence becomes truly personal and adaptive." While Samsung has not confirmed specific products, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are widely expected to headline the event, continuing the same three-model strategy as previous years."
"All three phones are expected to run Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip in the US and China, while other regions may get Samsung's Exynos 2600 processor, according to Yonhap News. The base model is rumored to get a slightly larger 6.3-inch display (up from 6.2 inches on the S25) and a modest battery bump to 4,300mAh, according to specs shared by leaker Ice Universe. It'll pack 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB."
