The Unpacked event will be broadcast online for those who cannot attend directly, and this will be one of the biggest events this year.

Things to know
Of course, the focus of the Galaxy Unpacked event will be the phones belonging to the Galaxy S26 trio. According to leaked images, all three phones are slightly redesigned this year, with a more protruding camera cluster. Galaxy S26 Ultra also has rounded edges to better suit its two smaller versions.
Galaxy S26 Ultra will also be equipped with a completely new security screen, capable of automatically hiding content from curious eyes. This phone is also said to have a new, more advanced screen with 10-bit colors. In addition, the phone's charging speed can also be upgraded and the camera is also tweaked, although not significant.
Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus will not be redesigned too much, but they may be slightly thinner, and Galaxy S26 may have a slightly larger screen: 6.3 inches compared to 6.2 inches on Galaxy S25.
All three of these phone models are likely to be equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processors, depending on the market.
Samsung is also expected to launch Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro headphones along with high-end phone lines. Leaked images of the headphones have shown a new design with metal strips on the outside of the headphone body. This design change will make them look less like AirPods.
According to information known, Buds 4 regular version headphones will be made entirely of plastic, like previous versions, while Pro models may be equipped with silicone earplugs.
In addition, the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event is also associated with artificial intelligence as revealed by Samsung itself earlier: "The new Galaxy S line is about to be launched, designed to simplify daily interactions, inspire confidence and help Galaxy AI be integrated smoothly from the moment it is in hand".
According to experts, the security screen of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is an AI-supported feature that Samsung has revealed. In addition, AI features for photography are also likely to be announced.
Galaxy S26 phones may also be equipped with artificial intelligence image creation capabilities, thanks to a new collaboration with Nota AI.
