This query is (seemingly) fairly simple to reply.

One other extraordinarily dependable Samsung leaker, Ice Universe, additionally took to X in late January to supply a extra complete product launch timeline. In response to Ice Universe, Unpacked will happen on Feb. 25 (simply as Blass stated).

Samsung usually does its early-year Unpacked occasions in January or early February, but when it have been taking place in January this yr, we’d’ve heard one thing official by now. In the intervening time, Feb. 25 is a protected wager.

Samsung Unpacked 2026 rumors: What will probably be proven?

The query of what is going to be proven at this Unpacked occasion can be pretty simple to reply based mostly on precedent from earlier years. In brief, anticipate numerous details about the Galaxy S26 telephones. Identical to in earlier years, early leaks counsel there will probably be three new S26 smartphones:

Latest stories level to a reasonably incremental refresh of the Galaxy S line this yr, which is attention-grabbing as a result of there have been rumblings a number of months in the past that Samsung would shake issues up in 2026. The corporate was allegedly going to interchange the Plus mannequin with a brand new ultra-thin Edge telephone, however Apple’s success with the iPhone 17 — placing pro-level options within the base telephone with out elevating the value — reportedly prompted Samsung to tug again and stick with what labored in earlier years.

We even have a checklist of potential coloration choices courtesy of Blass. The leaker stated the colours will probably be Black, White, Silver Shadow, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet, and Pink Gold. Not less than two or three of these may be on-line exclusives, which is what Samsung has completed previously. Lastly, some early stories point out that Samsung goes to attempt to hold the costs of the telephones the identical as they have been final yr, even amidst the continuing RAM scarcity that’s threatening to extend tech costs, or in some circumstances already actively doing so.

Sadly, we have additionally heard that Samsung will now not provide its standard pre-order provide, which lets early buyers get double the storage at no additional value.

Are we lastly going to get the TriFold?

Final yr’s early Unpacked occasion was nearly completely targeted on Galaxy telephones and AI options for stated telephones, with a really transient shock look by Samsung’s XR headset on the finish. I might anticipate this yr’s showcase to be equally targeted on Galaxy S26 telephones, however the truth that the Galaxy TriFold can be set to launch in early 2026 in the USA may justify a while being given to that telephone, as nicely. Samsung has already proven off that machine in Korea and at CES, although, so possibly it will get a faster point out with a value and launch date as a substitute of a full, blown-out debut.

At any price, we have apparently acquired a number of weeks to sit down and give it some thought.
