Samsung has been dealing with a lot of leaks and rumors about its upcoming Galaxy S26 series. Details about the phone keep appearing online, and it seems the company wants to stop this. Leaks ahead of the official announcement can spoil surprises and reveal important information too early.

On February 25, Samsung is going to launch the Galaxy S26 series. But ahead of that, almost everything about these devices has revealed due to the several leaks and rumors on the internet.

Now, people are excited about the Galaxy S27. Fans are guessing what new features it will have, like better cameras, bigger batteries, faster performance, and new designs. Even before the Galaxy S26 launch, rumors about the S27 are already spreading and making people curious.

To try to stop Galaxy S27 leaks, Samsung has introduced a new secure chat mode for its internal messages. When it is turned on, employees cannot copy, forward, save, or take screenshots of messages. Samsung also plans to use it with its partners and suppliers. The aim is to keep product plans and internal information safe until the official launch.

But leaks are hard to stop. Information can still come out through factories, suppliers, or distributors. And even if screenshots are blocked, someone could take a photo with another phone. In the world of tech, leaks happen a lot, especially for new phones.

Aside from this, leaks can also make people more excited about the upcoming devices. Fans talk about rumors, guess features, and share their ideas online. But too many leaks can also take away some of the fun of surprises and reduce excitement when the phone is finally announced.

Samsung will try to protect its secrets, but leaks are not going away. Fans will keep watching and guessing, and the excitement around the Galaxy S27 is already growing. The company’s new chat system may help. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung US has launched the WAFX-P, a new interactive display made to improve learning in schools and teamwork in offices. It combines clear visuals, smart tools, and AI features to help students, teachers, and employees work together more easily.

The WAFX-P has a built-in 4K camera, microphones, and speakers, making it easy to connect with other classrooms, guest speakers, or remote coworkers. Its Live Caption feature shows text on-screen for any audio or video, helping everyone follow along.

Samsung has confirmed that its Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on February 25, 2026. At this event, the company will launch the new Galaxy S26 series. Samsung has already started teasing the upcoming phones, highlighting camera upgrades and new AI features. Now, there are strong hints that the Galaxy Buds 4 series may also be introduced at the same event.

According to the latest information via @smasithick, Samsung has started taking reservations for the Galaxy S26 lineup in many countries. In India, customers can reserve the phones through Amazon. Interestingly, Amazon India’s Unpacked event page shows the outline of a pair of wireless earbuds. This small detail has caught the attention of fans.

The shape of the earbuds shown on Amazon’s page looks very similar to earlier leaked images of the Galaxy Buds 4. Samsung has not officially mentioned the new earbuds in its teasers, but this hint suggests that they could be launched alongside the new smartphones, similar to previous years.

Apart from Amazon’s hint, real-life images of the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have also appeared online. These images have been shared by a known tipster, @Mr_TechTalkTV, and show dummy units sent to retail stores for display.

The pictures reveal the design of the earbuds and their charging cases in black and white. The design looks simple, modern, and attractive.

Samsung has not officially confirmed the Galaxy Buds 4 launch yet. However, reports strongly suggest the company will debut at Unpacked on February 25.. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung has released the One UI 8.5 Beta 5 update for the Galaxy S25 series. With this update, the company has also introduced a new version of the Samsung Bixby app for One UI 8.5 users.

Last month, Samsung shared a newsroom post about upgrading Bixby with Perplexity AI. However, the company later removed that post, and many people were unsure about the plan. Now, with the Beta 5 update, a new version of the Bixby app has appeared. This suggests that Samsung may have delayed the announcement to release it with the new beta release.

The official changelog of the update does not details about new Bixby app. However, the update brings several new features and improvements to the assistant. Let’s explore them in detail.

Upgraded Samsung Bixby App

Samsung has not officially mentioned Perplexity anywhere in the update notes or even in the app, but its references have been spotted within the app. There is now a Perplexity icon appeared in sources at the bottom-left corner of search results. This is similar to how Perplexity shows references for information. The updated Bixby also seems to include several Perplexity features, such as research-based answers and local search results that require location access.

Bixby now responds faster and gives more detailed answers. It can create longer and more structured content directly on the device. This means when you search for something, the results are clearer and more complete.

For example, if you ask Bixby to write a poem about the Galaxy Unpacked event 2026, it can generate a full poem with verses and proper structure. It can also provide detailed information about specific topics and pull results from certain websites more accurately.

In addition, Bixby can now perform in-app actions more smoothly. You can type commands like “Set display brightness to 30 percent” or “Change system sound to level 3,” and Bixby will quickly apply those settings. You no longer need to go into the settings menu and search for options manually. This makes using your phone easier and saves time.

With these changes, Samsung is turning Bixby into a smarter assistant that understands both your phone and the internet. While Perplexity AI may help improve its intelligence, Samsung still keeps full control of how Bixby works within its system.

Samsung has also redesigned the Bixby interface to give it a fresh and modern look in One UI 8.5. The wake-up animation has been improved and now feels smoother and cleaner.

When you wake up Bixby, you will see a pill-shaped bar at the bottom of the screen. On the left side, there is a Bixby icon, and on the right side, there is a microphone icon. The bar has a soft glowing edge. When Bixby starts listening, the border lights up with colorful animations.

The overall interface design of the Samsung Bixby is now more minimal, simple, and attractive compared to older versions.

Samsung has also made some changes in the settings menu. Options like Notifications, Personalized Bixby, and Customization Service have been removed. Instead, Samsung has added a new “Labs” section. This section allows users to try experimental features before they are officially released.

OLD VS NEW

The layout of the app has changed as well. On the main page of the Bixby app, you will now see a menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner. From there, you can access settings and other options. Previously, the settings option was placed in the top-right corner, but it has now been moved under the new menu.

Old vs New (Samsung Bixby app main age)

In the “Use while locked” section of Bixby Settings, Samsung has added a new feature – Call and send messages. When you turn this option on, you can make calls or send messages directly from the lock screen using your voice or the side button. If you do not want this feature, you can now easily turn it off.

Old vs New

One UI 8.5 Beta 5 update brings meaningful improvements to Bixby. The assistant is now faster, smarter, and easier to use. If you are using the One UI 8.5 Beta on your Galaxy S25 series device, you can check out these new features now.

Aside from this, the minimal changelog of the Beta 5 update shows that Samsung is moving closer to the stable One UI 8.5 release. Stay tuned.

Samsung is getting ready to launch two new phones in its Galaxy A series. The phones, Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57, have appeared on Singapore’s IMDA website, which means they are almost ready for release.

The Galaxy A37 has the model number A376B/DS. This shows that it is a global version and can use two SIM cards at the same time. The Galaxy A57 has been spotted with the model number SM-A576B/DS, which is also a global dual-SIM version. While the IMDA listing does not show all the specifications, it confirms that these phones are coming soon.

The launch is expected to happen in March or early April. These listings show that Samsung is completing all the approvals needed to sell the phones worldwide.

Earlier leaks reveal that the Galaxy A37 will use the Exynos 1480 processor and is expected to run One UI 8.5. The cameras may include a 50MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP macro lens. The battery is likely 5,000mAh with 45W fast charging, which is quite good for a mid-range phone.

The Galaxy A57 may have a 6.6-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will probably run on the Exynos 1680 processor and have the same 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. Its camera setup could include a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, a 5MP macro lens, and a 12MP front camera for selfies.

Both phones are expected to be strong mid-range devices with modern design, good cameras, long battery life, and software updates for many years. These A-series devices are a good choice for users who want a reliable Samsung phone without paying for a flagship.

Samsung is expecting very high profits in the first quarter of 2026. The main reason is the rising price of memory chips and strong demand for its new, fast memory – HBM4.

According to information via Chosun, Samsung is selling HBM4 at around $700 per unit, which is 20 to 30% higher than the older HBM3E model. The company started mass production of HBM4 on February 12. SK Hynix, another major Korean memory company, will also start making HBM4 soon and is expected to sell it at similar prices.

Last year, SK Hynix supplied HBM4 to NVIDIA at about $500 per unit, so prices have risen quickly in just six months. Samsung’s profits are not only from HBM4 but also from higher prices in general DRAM and NAND flash memory. Samsung is carefully managing how much HBM4 it produces, avoiding overproduction to keep profits high.

With this strategy, Samsung’s operating profit for the first quarter could reach 32 trillion Korean won, breaking past records. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Samsung earned 20 trillion won. Global investment bank Morgan Stanley predicts Samsung could make 245.7 trillion won in operating profit for the whole year, a huge increase from last year.

Rising prices for HBM, DRAM, and NAND flash memory mean Samsung is likely to continue growing strongly. Its new HBM4 technology and smart production plans put it in a strong position in the global memory market.

Google has launched its latest midrange phone, the Pixel 10a. It looks very similar to last year’s Pixel 9a, with most of the specs staying the same. Only a few small upgrades have been added.

Pixel 10a has a 6.3-inch Actua display with a 60–120Hz refresh rate. The screen is now brighter, reaching up to 3000 nits.  The phone still runs on the Google Tensor G4 chip with 8GB RAM. 

Also, the camera setup is similar as it offers 48MP main camera, 13MP ultrawide, and 13MP front camera. It comes with storage options of 128GB and 256GB.

Pixel 10a’s 5100mAh battery lasts over 30 hours normally, or up to 120 hours with Extreme Battery Saver mode. Other features include IP68 water resistance, Gorilla Glass 7i, and Android 16 with 7 years of updates.

The Pixel 10a faces competition from the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE. Samsung’s phone has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, and several AI features. These make the Galaxy S25 FE feel more premium, especially for users who want a bigger screen and better camera performance.

The price of the Pixel 10a has not changed from last year. It is $499 for the 128GB model and $599 for the 256GB model. Some users may feel paying full price for small upgrades is not very exciting. On the other side, you can grab the Galaxy S25 FE at $449 on Amazon.

Pixel 10a is a reliable phone with minor improvements and long-term software support. However, if you want a larger display or more advanced cameras, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE may be a better choice for midrange buyers.

Samsung is bringing back the Galaxy Z TriFold in the US. This phone is very popular because it folds three times and turns into a small tablet. When it first launched, it sold out in less than 20 minutes. Many people were not able to buy it. Now, Samsung is giving customers another chance.

The Galaxy Z TriFold will be available again on Friday, February 20, at 10 am ET (7 am PT). It will be sold on Samsung’s official website. If you want to buy it, you should be ready before the sale starts.

Since it sold out very fast last time, it may sell out quickly again. Reports say Samsung is making fewer than 100,000 units, so the supply is limited.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is different from normal smartphones. It has a 6.5-inch screen on the outside. When you unfold it completely, it becomes a large 10-inch tablet. This big screen is great for watching movies, reading, browsing the internet, or working. The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor. 

The Galaxy Z TriFold starts at $2,899, which makes it very expensive. It is made for people who want both a phone and a tablet in one device.  The phone is unique and special, so it may sell out again very quickly. Stay tuned for more information.

Google’s Gemini has become even more powerful. Until now, it could generate text, images, videos, and code. With the latest update, Gemini can now create full songs, including lyrics and music, and even design album art. All it takes is a text or image prompt, and Gemini turns it into a complete track.

This new feature is powered by Google DeepMind’s Lyria 3, a text-to-audio AI model. Earlier versions of Lyria could only make short instrumental clips or experimental music.

Now, Gemini can create 30-second songs that sound like real music, with layered instruments and melodies. It can also generate lyrics, so each track is a complete musical piece.

Also, Google has made sure that copyright issues are avoided. Each AI-generated track comes with a hidden SynthID to show it was created by AI. The songs are checked against existing music to prevent copying. The company also says that it trained Gemini without copying artists’ work.

The new music feature is available in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. It works for both free and paid Gemini users, although available credits depend on the subscription. The feature is also coming to Dream Track for YouTube Shorts to make it easier for creators to make music quickly.

Samsung is going to launch its new Galaxy S26 series next week. The series includes three models – Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even before the official launch, a cheap clone of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has already appeared online.

A video on Instagram shows the clone Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is being sold for only around $72. The video highlights the phone’s design, including the camera island and the wallpaper, making it look very similar to the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Despite its premium look, the clone is very different inside. It comes with only 3GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, although it does support 5G connectivity. Its performance and features are far below the real Galaxy S26 Ultra, which makes it clear that it is only a lookalike.

People may easily be able to recognize the clone because premium phones feel different and have better build quality, smoother performance, and additional features. The clone may attract attention because of its design, but it cannot match the experience of a genuine flagship device.

This shows that even before the launch, cheap copies of upcoming phones can appear online. While they may seem tempting because of the low price and premium look, the real innovation and performance will only be found in Samsung’s official devices.

Samsung fans will have to wait until the Galaxy Unpacked event on 25 February 2026 to see the real Galaxy S26 series. Users can register for the event to get special benefits. Stay tuned for more updates about the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold takes the big screen idea further with its new tri-fold design. However, some early users are now reporting problems with the inner folding display. These early complaints have started to raise questions about reliability.

In the first case, a user said the inner screen suddenly turned black after about six weeks of use. The display stopped responding completely. Restarting the phone helped at first, but the problem came back the next day. After that, even a reboot did not fix the screen.

In the second case, another user said the screen failed after just five days. It first started showing random touches without being touched. By the next morning, the screen had turned fully white. It did not respond to any touch at all.

Both users said they were very careful with their phones. They claimed the devices were never dropped or damaged. One user also heard a popping sound when folding the phone. They even noticed what looked like a small air bubble under the display.

Right now, it is not clear what caused the problem. It could be a faulty unit. It could also be linked to the new tri-fold design. Foldable phones have more moving parts, which makes them more complex.

Screen issues can happen with any smartphone. However, foldable devices may face extra stress because they bend. Samsung has not yet shared an official response. For now, it is unclear if this is a small issue or something bigger. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung has added a new Arabic channel to its free streaming platform, Samsung TV Plus. The channel, Al Jazeera World, comes from Al Jazeera Media Network. This launch gives Arabic-speaking viewers more free content to enjoy.

Samsung TV Plus is a free streaming service available on many Samsung smart TVs and Galaxy devices. Users do not need to pay any monthly fee. The service is supported by ads, so people can watch without a subscription. It offers more than 3,500 live channels in 30 countries.

The new Al Jazeera World channel is now available in the Middle East and North Africa region. Millions of viewers in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt can already access it.

The channel will soon expand to Europe. It is expected to launch in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

Al Jazeera World includes travel documentaries and human stories. It shows programs about different cultures, traditions, and real-life experiences from around the world.

The channel also includes selected content from Al Jazeera Documentary and Al Jazeera Arabic. With this new addition, Samsung TV Plus continues to expand its free content from different regions and offer more choices to viewers.

Google has shared new design guidelines that give us an early idea of how future Android XR smart glasses could work. These glasses include the upcoming Galaxy Glasses that Samsung is reportedly developing with fashion brands.

There will be two main types of glasses. The first type, called AI Glasses, will have a camera, microphones, and speakers. The second type, called Display AI Glasses, will include all of that plus a small augmented reality display in front of your eyes.

Both versions of the glasses are expected to have a camera button, a power button, and a touchpad. Models with a display will also include a second touchpad on the side to control on-screen items.

According to the information, the camera button will be easy to use. Press it twice to open the camera. Press it once to take a photo. Press and hold to start recording a video, and press again to stop. There will also be two small LED lights. One lets you know the camera is working, and the other lets people around you know when you are recording.

The main touchpad will handle simple controls. Tap once to play or pause music or confirm something. Press and hold to open the Gemini assistant. Swipe to change the volume. On display models, the second touchpad lets you scroll, move between items, and go back by swiping down.

The screen layout will be simple. A system bar at the bottom will show alerts, time, weather, and notifications. Messages will appear as small bubbles that expand when tapped, letting you quickly reply or take action.

Samsung may raise the price of its Galaxy S26 phones this year. In the past, Samsung tried to keep prices the same as those of older models, even when parts became a little more expensive. But now, chips and memory are costing more, and Samsung may not be able to avoid higher prices.

Even though Samsung makes its own Exynos processors, it cannot buy them cheaper than other companies. But this time, the demand for memory is very high, as AI technology needs more and faster memory, so Samsung and other companies are using some of their memory for AI products. This pushes the price up.

Last year, Samsung kept the Galaxy S25 prices the same as the previous model. That helped sales and made customers happy. But this year, memory and chip costs are higher, so Samsung may need to raise prices for the Galaxy S26. Reports say the standard Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ could cost more, while the Ultra model may stay at the same price.

The Galaxy S26 will use different processors in different regions. In Europe, phones will have Samsung’s Exynos chips. In the US, they will use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Even though the US phones are less affected by Exynos prices, Samsung may raise prices worldwide because many parts are more expensive.

Some extra benefits, like free storage upgrades for pre-orders, may still continue. This can help buyers get more value even if the phone costs more.

Samsung is going to officially launch the Galaxy S26 on February 25 at the Galaxy Unpacked event 2026. At that time, we will know the full prices, features, and availability of the new phones. Stay tuned for more information.
