Just a few hours more, and the world will witness 2026’s first mega reveal. Samsung is unveiling the Galaxy S26 series on February 25 at an in-person Unpacked, and the event will livestream on YouTube as well.

At the Unpacked event, Samsung will uncover the Galaxy S26 series, Buds 4 series, upgrades to Galaxy AI, and the new One UI 8.5. Galaxy S26 Ultra is the star of the show, but millions of fans are excited for the software update.

Galaxy S26 series

AI will dominate the Unpacked event, similar to the past few years. Samsung doesn’t have much to showcase other than software advancements. The Privacy Display feature will be the main highlight of the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Samsung has also cut Snapdragon utilization from 100 percent to around 75 percent this year. In place of Qualcomm chip, the company is utilizing Exynos 2600, its in-house SoC made using 2nm process, in the Galaxy S26 series.

Exynos 2600 may also see some limelight at the Galaxy S26 launch. It brings significant upgrades in terms of CPU, GPU, and NPU. Leaked S26 Ultra promos already confirmed enhancements of the Snapdragon versions.

Galaxy Buds 4 series

Samsung confirmed new earbuds will also be unveiled at the Unpacked event. The Galaxy Buds 4 series includes a standard and a Pro variant. These models bring major design refinements and a tweaked charging case.

The company has altered how owners will place the earbuds in the case. The blade light has been removed in line with improving the battery life. Various AI features have been added to improve the listening experience.

One UI 8.5

Samsung has been running One UI 8.5 Beta Program on the Galaxy S25 series. The new software will officially be unveiled at the Unpacked event.

The Galaxy S26 series will go on sale on March 11, 2026, marking the rollout of the official One UI 8.5 software. Samsung confirmed existing devices will receive the new features and updates sequentially.
