Samsung\u2019s ready to launch its first new devices of 2026, and it\u2019s got a Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco<\/a> to stream everything. The keynote starts at 10AM PT (1PM ET) and will be livestreamed on YouTube. The announcement on February 10 also said this launch will mark \u201ca new phase in the era of AI as intelligence becomes truly personal and adaptive.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are we expecting? Based on leaked images of the new lineup, the company is not likely to have radically reinvented the look of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ or Galaxy S26 Ultra, sticking instead with a similar design to the Galaxy S25.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re expecting Qualcomm\u2019s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip to be in all Samsung Galaxy S26 phones, though Korean news site Yonhap News reports Samsung\u2019s relatively new Exynos 2600 chip could be in some devices, depending on the region.<\/p>\n

Despite the launch of the Qi 2 wireless charging standard, which added support for convenient magnetic alignment, Samsung still hasn\u2019t brought the feature to its phones. Rumours suggest the S-series will have the spec\u2019s higher speed wireless charging rates but will lack built-in magnets and have to depend on cases to add MagSafe-style charging and mounting.<\/p>\n

Honestly? It could be a pretty mild launch event, especially after wowing everyone with the Galaxy TriFold at the start of the year.<\/p>\n

Are you more interested in foldables than traditional candy bar devices? (If so, get ready for MWC 2026, kicking off next week. We\u2019re expecting a lot of foldables.)<\/p>\n

Yes, a truly new Neon Genesis Evangelion series is coming. The announcement came during a 30th-anniversary event in Japan. However, franchise creator Hideaki Anno won\u2019t write the scripts. His replacement will be Yoko Taro, creator of the NieR video game series, who wears a giant spooky moon mask for interviews and game briefings. He\u2019s also a cool guy underneath. Evangelion veteran Kazuya Tsurumaki will be on hand to direct episodes, produced by Studio Khara and Cloverworks.<\/p>\n

Marathon players found cheating or developing cheats will receive a permaban.<\/p>\n

In a detailed blog post, Bungie took a very declarative position against those caught trying to cheat: \u201cWe are taking a strong stance against cheating and anyone found to be cheating or developing cheats will be permanently banned from playing Marathon forever, no second chances.\u201d The blog post added that an appeals system will be in place.<\/p>\n

However, Bungie\u2019s anti-cheat standards go beyond punishment. In the blog post, Bungie explained that Marathon\u2019s dedicated servers have full authority on movement, shooting, actions and inventory. Since these key actions rely on the server, it will translate to smoother gunplay for players as well as the prevention of cheats related to teleportation, unlimited ammo or damage manipulation.<\/p>\n
