Samsung Unpacked 2026 leaks: Galaxy S26 Launch Date and TriFold Hype

February 25th is the date to watch. Samsung's next-gen AI-powered flagship is reportedly set to debut later than usual this year. Following its vision of an AI future showcased at CES 2026, the Korean tech giant is preparing to reveal the Galaxy S26 lineup and potentially confirm the U.S. arrival of the highly anticipated Galaxy TriFold.

Breaking down the Samsung Unpacked 2026 leaks

According to reputable leaker Evan Blass, the next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for February 25, 2026. Blass called this date "100 percent correct," corroborating several Korean media reports. Another heavyweight in the leaking scene, Ice Universe, provided a more granular look at the release window.

While Samsung typically targets a January launch, the shift to late February suggests that the global memory shortage is impacting production cycles. Despite these headwinds, reports indicate that Samsung aims to keep pricing consistent with last year's models, though some beloved perks might be on the chopping block.

Refining the S26 and the TriFold Wildcard

Expect an incremental update for the S26 series. Rumors of a new "Edge" model replacing the Plus have quieted down. Analysts suggest that Apple's success with the iPhone 17—which brought Pro-level features to base models—forced Samsung to stick with its proven three-tier strategy. Meanwhile, the Galaxy TriFold, already teased in Korea, is expected to get its formal U.S. pricing and release date during the showcase.
