The wait is finally over for Samsung fans in India and around the world! The tech giant has officially dropped the date we’ve all been buzzing about: the powerful Samsung Galaxy S26 series is set to make its grand debut on February 25, 2026, at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco.
Imagine this— just a couple of weeks from now (on February 25), at 10 a.m. PT (which translates to 11:30 p.m. IST on the same day), Samsung will pull back the curtain on what could be its most advanced flagship lineup yet.
If you’re in India, mark your calendars for a late-night watch party because this livestream promises to be packed with next-level innovations, especially around AI that actually feels personal and helpful in everyday life.
Samsung has confirmed the event will stream live on its official website, YouTube channel, and social media handles—so no matter where you are, you can tune in without missing a beat.
The company is teasing that the new Galaxy S series will usher in “a new phase in the era of AI,” where intelligence becomes truly adaptive and makes your daily routine smoother and more confident.
While Samsung hasn’t officially named the models yet, leaks and expert buzz point strongly to the classic trio hitting the stage: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and the beast-mode Galaxy S26 Ultra. (There’s even chatter about possible additions like an S26 FE or Edge later in the year, around July.)
Here’s a quick peek at what the rumors are saying about these upcoming powerhouses:
- Performance punch — The standard S26 and S26+ could rock Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600 (a deca-core chip hitting up to 3.80GHz), while the Ultra might go all-out with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 for top-tier speed.
- AI magic — Galaxy AI is expected to be the real star here. From simplifying daily tasks to handling advanced stuff effortlessly, with beefed-up privacy and data security. These phones will run on the latest Android 16 with Samsung’s polished One UI.
- Display vibes — Expect stunning screens: around 6.26–6.3 inches for the base model, ~6.7 inches QHD+ for the Plus, and a massive ~6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED on the Ultra—all with adaptive refresh rates, sky-high brightness, HDR, and possibly cutting-edge M14 LTPO OLED tech.
- Camera game — The base S26 might feature a triple setup with a 50MP main (1/1.56-inch sensor), 12MP ultra-wide, and 12MP 3x telephoto, plus a 12MP selfie snapper. The Plus should be similar but with tweaks for better processing and stabilization. The Ultra? A rumored 200MP main sensor, multiple telephoto lenses for epic zoom, major upgrades in video and low-light shots, and of course, the beloved S Pen included.
- Battery & charging — The Ultra could pack a 5000mAh battery with 60W wired fast charging, wireless, and reverse wireless options to keep you going strong.
