What to expect at Samsung Unpacked 2026: Galaxy S26, One UI 8.5 and Buds 4 Pro

Samsung's next Unpacked event is expected to introduce new Galaxy mobile products in early 2026; South Korean media and tipster Evan Blass have suggested the event will take place on Feb. 25, 2026, in San Francisco, though Samsung has not announced an official date. Reports say the launch would push in-store availability to early March, and the event will likely be streamed on Samsung's website and YouTube.

Expect a Galaxy S26 series that includes a base Galaxy S26, a Galaxy S26 Plus, and an S26 Ultra; earlier rumors that a separate "S26 Pro" would replace the base model have been debunked. Reports cited by Android Headlines suggest the lower-end model could gain a 50MP ultrawide sensor (up from 12MP), a roughly 6.3-inch screen, a 4,300mAh battery, 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.

There are also rumors Samsung might retire the "Plus" name for a slimmer Galaxy S26 Edge. Reliable tipster Ice Universe has claimed the Edge could measure about 5.5mm thick with a 4,200mAh battery and retain a 6.7-inch display, though coverage notes conflicting reports about the Edge's future in the lineup.

Leaked renders and reports suggest the S26 Ultra could see modest design changes — curvier corners, a raised vertical camera bump, and a slightly slimmer 7.9mm body with an M14 OLED display.
