Samsung Unpacked 2026: live updates from the Galaxy S26 announcement event
On Wednesday, February 25th, Samsung will hold an event in San Francisco where it's expected to reveal the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra phones, among other things.
Based on leaks and Samsung's own ads, we're expecting at least one of the phones to come with a display that can black out sensitive content based on viewing angle, which is genuinely cool and useful. They might also finally have Qi2! We are also, alas, anticipating a whole lot of questionable AI photo- and video-editing features. Samsung truly is a land of contrasts.
Samsung Unpacked starts at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. It's streaming live on YouTube (embedded below), and we'll be live blogging here. Stay tuned.
