Samsung sent out invitations on Tuesday to the next Galaxy Unpacked event, scheduled for February 25 in San Francisco, where the company is expected to launch the Galaxy 26 series of smartphones.

AI features will again be at the fore, as the company says future phones are “built to simplify everyday interactions, inspire confidence and make Galaxy AI feel seamlessly integrated from the moment it’s in hand.”

A unique feature that the company challenges is a display of privacy expected to debut on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This feature will allow users to hide certain parts of the phone screen from viewers to protect sensitive information. For example, users can hide the notification area from prying eyes.

Reports suggests that the flagship phone in the lineup will run Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 processor in the US and China. Samsung will likely opt for its own Exynos 2600 processor in other regions. The difference is significant, but very small. Snapdragon processors have historically outperformed Samsung’s Exynos chips in benchmarks and thermal efficiency, but the performance gap is narrowing.

According to a report from the tech site SamMobilethe S26 also has a 5,100 mAh (milliamp-hour, a standard unit of battery capacity) battery and supports 60W wired charging and 25W wireless charging.

In addition to the phones, Samsung is likely to release the updated Galaxy Buds 4 wireless earbuds. The company plans to update the design from the previous generation, which drew widespread comparisons to Apple’s AirPods.

The event begins at 10 AM PT/ 1 PM ET/ 7 PM CET, and will be streamed live on Samsung website and his YouTube channel.

Samsung is offering a $30 promotional credit to anyone pre-registration interest these are its future devices. Pre-registration is only an expression of interest; Consumers can still get the credit as a discount on other Samsung products even if they don’t buy the new devices. If you pre-register and then pre-order one of the devices, the company will add that $150 credit — no trade-in required.
