If you thought smartphone innovation has peaked, think again. At Galaxy Unpacked 2026, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy S26 Series, setting the tone for what many are calling the era of truly intelligent, AI-powered phones. The excitement didn’t just stay on ground — it was captured, dissected, and reimagined through the lenses of our creators and media friends from Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) who joined us in San Francisco.

 

For a full rundown on Samsung’s enhanced Galaxy AI, exciting features of the new devices, and how they help users accomplish more with less effort, check out @adamlob0’s interview with Carl Nordenberg, VP & Regional Head of the Mobile eXperience Business.

 

 

 

Unpacked energy, from San Francisco to SEAO

 

Couldn’t be there in person? Creators like @volix.media brought the full Unpacked energy straight to our screens. From the moment the Galaxy S26 Series was unveiled, to hands-on time with the latest device, their content captured the cheers, the first reactions, and that collective “wow” as the capabilities of Galaxy AI came to life.

 

 

Your World Class Camera Companion

The Galaxy S26 Series isn’t just for calls, it’s fast becoming a creator’s go-to camera companion.

 

 

Unsteady hands? @droidlime shows off the new Super Steady with horizontal lock feature which helps keep your videos perfectly stabilized even with accidental wobbles.

 

Over on @fuzzchannel, we see how the Galaxy S26 camera system introduces creative possibilities, from expansive wide-angle shots to tight, detailed frames. Paired with Galaxy AI, creators have more control over every frame, empowering them to shoot, edit and share studio-worthy content—straight from their phones.

 

 

You can also turn imagination into reality. @geek_culture shows off the Galaxy S26 Series’ upgraded and powerful AI-powered Photo Assist, which helps refine images and express creativity with ease.

 

 

Privacy Is The Next Big Deal

Whether it’s personal texts, work emails, or banking information, the Galaxy S26 Series’ widely praised breakthrough Privacy Display protects your sensitive information and privacy on the go.

 

 

From Vietnam, the Schannel team breaks down and demonstrates how the brand-new feature works.

 

Adding to that, @chill_with_dan shares her first impressions on how you can customize the level of privacy to your needs. Thanks to an intelligent pixel-level layer, the display helps control what people around you can see, giving users a new sense of confidence when viewing sensitive information on their phones.
