Samsung has officially confirmed that its next Unpacked event will take place on February 25, with the Galaxy S26 series set to be the star of the show.<\/p>\n

In an announcement <\/a>this evening, Samsung has confirmed plans to launch the Galaxy S26 series on February 25 \u2013 about 2 weeks from now. The event will take place at 10am PT in San Francisco, California, and will be livestreamed on YouTube. <\/p>\n

Samsung teases:<\/p>\n

Get ready for a mobile experience designed to remove friction from the things you do every day. The new Galaxy S series is coming \u2013 built to simplify everyday interactions, inspire confidence and make Galaxy AI feel seamlessly integrated from the moment it\u2019s in hand.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, reservations for the Galaxy S26 series are now open. Samsung is offering a $30 credit that can be used towards accessories and other Samsung products through the company\u2019s online store. Everyone who registers will also be entered in a contest to win a $5,000 Samsung.com gift card. <\/p>\n

As always, reservations are free and come with no obligation to actually buy a device.<\/p>\n

Samsung says customers can expect savings of up to $900 with trade-ins, while reservations also hold a discount of up to $150 on Galaxy S26 series devices even without a trade-in.<\/p>\n

Notably, too, this is the first year reservations are going beyond Samsung.com. Samsung says Best Buy and AT&T will also be accepting reservations.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S26 series is expected to deliver updated specs, including the latest Snapdragon chip (at least for models sold in the US), faster wireless charging<\/a>, and also a new \u201cPrivacy Display\u201d on the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> that can effectively redact content that might be seen be on-lookers. There were more upgrades supposedly planned, but price pressure seemingly readjusted<\/a> Samsung\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are expected to cost around the same amount as their predecessors, give or take<\/a>, with retail availability expected around March 2026.<\/p>\n
