Samsung is all set to once again refresh its flagship lineup with the launch of the Galaxy S26-series, which is only a few hours away. The long wait, especially for Samsung fans, is finally over. The much-touted Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event is taking place in San Francisco on Wednesday.
Even if you're not in the United States, you can still be a part of the event as it happens. Samsung has confirmed that the entire Unpacked 2026 event will be live-streamed on Samsung Newsroom India, Samsung.com/in, and Samsung's YouTube channel. Taking into account the time difference between the two countries, the Galaxy S26 Series event can be watched live from India at 11:30AM.
What to expect?
Samsung is keeping most things under wraps, but it has already confirmed that "The new Galaxy S series is built to simplify everyday interactions, and make Galaxy AI feel seamlessly integrated from the moment it is in your hands."
This clearly means the new devices will have enhanced AI features. But there's more. While one can naturally expect improvements in the camera, design, performance and battery, rumours suggest a nice little party-trick feature will embrace the new Galaxy S26 phones. A built-in privacy feature allowing users to protect on-screen information from others without the need to attach an additional film is expected to be announced. Users can also customise display visibility to prevent "shoulder surfing."
As for the specs, rumours are that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have a 6.9-inch AMOLED 120Hz display, quad cameras with 200MP+50MP ultra-wide+50MP telephoto+10MP additional lens. It will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with 16 gigs of RAM and storage running up to 1TB. Finally, the battery will be a 5,000mAh unit with 60W fast charging, which is a notable and much-needed upgrade.
Besides the new phones, Samsung is also expected to launch the new Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro at the event.
So tell us, which Galaxy product are you most excited about this year.
