Samsung Sets Galaxy S26 Launch Date with a Strong Emphasis on AI
Samsung has officially announced its Galaxy Unpacked event for February 25, 2026, in San Francisco. The company is set to unveil its highly anticipated Galaxy S26 series, which includes three models: the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.
The South Korean tech giant is placing a significant emphasis on artificial intelligence in their new flagship lineup. Samsung promises a “new phase in the era of AI” with seamlessly integrated Galaxy AI features. Early teasers suggest the phones will include innovative privacy display technology that restricts viewing angles, thereby protecting sensitive information from prying eyes in public spaces.
Samsung has already opened pre-reservations, offering enticing deals such as:
- Up to $900 in trade-in credits
- A $30 credit for accessories
- An additional $150 credit for direct purchases
Despite earlier speculation about price increases due to tariffs and manufacturing costs, reports indicate Samsung will maintain the same starting prices as last year:
- $799 for the standard model
- $999 for the Plus
- $1,299 for the Ultra
The phones are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and improved cross-device functionality with Android phones.
