Samsung is gearing up for its next Unpacked event, with credible leaks pointing to a February 25th showcase. While the timing is later than usual, industry insiders suggest the focus will heavily feature the new Galaxy S26 lineup alongside potential updates on Samsung’s foldable technology.
Unpacked Date and Reliability
The date was first reported by Korean media and subsequently confirmed by Evan Blass, a highly respected leaker with a strong track record. The event’s late-February timing is a slight departure from Samsung’s typical January or early February Unpacked events, but is now confirmed as accurate.
Galaxy S26 Lineup: What to Expect
Samsung is expected to unveil three Galaxy S26 models: the standard S26, the S26 Plus, and the premium S26 Ultra. The refresh appears incremental, rather than revolutionary. Earlier speculation of a new “Edge” phone replacing the Plus model has reportedly been shelved following Apple’s pricing strategy for the iPhone 17.
Instead, Samsung will likely stick to its existing formula of offering tiered models with varying features and price points. The focus will be on refinements to the Galaxy S line, with AI integration expected to play a significant role, mirroring last year’s emphasis on artificial intelligence features within Samsung’s phones.
Beyond the S26: Potential Foldable Updates
The Galaxy TriFold, already previewed in Korea and at CES 2026, may receive a more formal launch at the Unpacked event. While the device has been showcased, a full unveiling with pricing and release dates is anticipated. However, given Samsung’s recent presentations, the S26 series will likely dominate the showcase.
The company has spent the last year refining its AI software to run on its new hardware, and that is expected to be a major theme of the event.
The Galaxy S26 refresh may be less dramatic than some had hoped, but Samsung continues to refine its flagship line while exploring foldable and AI advancements. The February 25th Unpacked event is now almost certainly the date to watch for these announcements.
