We’re less than a month away from the Samsung<\/a> Galaxy S26 and Galaxy Buds 4 launch, if the latest leak is to be believed. And considering it comes from reliable source Evan Blass, we would say it is.<\/p>\n

His post<\/a> shows a promotional image for Galaxy Unpacked, which is Samsung’s annual showcase for the next Galaxy S variant. The date given is 25th February \u2013 that’s three weeks on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Last year’s event was held on 22nd January, so this year’s would be slightly later than usual.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy S26 will be Samsung’s flagship phone for 2026, until its Z Flip<\/a> and Z Fold foldables launch in the summer, that is. It’s expected to have a screen privacy feature that means people around can’t see what’s on your screen, leaving you free to enter passwords in public without anyone snooping on you.<\/p>\n

It’s also said to be slimmer than the Galaxy S25<\/a>, to offer the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor (in certain markets), with a 200MP telephoto sensor rumoured for the S26 Ultra. Price rises have also been rumoured for certain models and capacities, but by no means all.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Buds 4 models, however, are expected to keep the same price as their predecessors. According to Dealabs<\/a>, the Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro will cost the same \u20ac179 and \u20ac249 respectively as their predecessors. Those are European prices \u2013 in the UK, the Buds 3 launched at \u00a3159 and the Buds 3 Pro<\/a> \u00a3219 (though both have come down from these prices since their 2024 launch).<\/p>\n

Leaked pictures have shown a flatter, more compact design for both pairs of buds, while the charging case has also been redesigned. The buds are also said to have Ultra-Wide Band (UWB)<\/a> connectivity, which could bring hi-res audio<\/a> functionality.<\/p>\n

Samsung’s phones have reviewed well in recent years, but its wireless earbuds less so. Here’s hoping the latest models can give the best AirPods<\/a> a run for their money.<\/p>\n
