Samsung is gearing up for its Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event, set to unveil its latest devices. Anticipation is building for the Galaxy S26 lineup, including the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Leaks suggest a design evolution rather than a revolution, building upon the S25's aesthetic with internal upgrades expected to be the focus this time.

Consumers can expect the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip in most S26 models, with some regions potentially receiving the Exynos 2600. The S26 is rumored to feature a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and 12GB of RAM. The S26 Ultra may see design tweaks, including a new metallic finish and the potential removal of the S Pen digitizer for Qi2 support.

Alongside smartphones, the event may feature the Galaxy Buds 4 with a more compact design and head gesture controls, similar to Apple's AirPods. Samsung is also expected to showcase its Galaxy Z TriFold, which was previously announced, with pricing details. The company will likely highlight its advancements in AI, potentially integrating Perplexity into its OneUI and Bixby assistant.
