Samsung's first Unpacked showcase of the year took place on February 25, 2026, where we saw the reveal of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus., Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro.
All of these were rather iterative updates on what came before, but as you'll see in my hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, there are some interesting upgrades and the stand-out Privacy Display feature.

What is Samsung Galaxy Unpacked?
Galaxy Unpacked is the name given to the big Samsung product showcase. Normally these revolve around new Galaxy S-series phones and Galaxy Fold and Flip series foldable phones.
But Galaxy Unpacked events are also used to debut new Galaxy smartwatches and wireless earbuds, as well as laptops and tablets. There are also nods given to Samsung’s SmartThings smart home platform and its interoperability with the new Galaxy devices.
In general, you can expect two Galaxy Unpacked events a year; one at the start, ranging between January and February, and the other in around July or August.
