This query is (seemingly) fairly straightforward to reply.

One other extraordinarily dependable Samsung leaker, Ice Universe, additionally took to X in late January to supply a extra complete product launch timeline.

Samsung sometimes does its early-year Unpacked occasions in January or early February, but when it had been taking place in January this yr, we might’ve heard one thing official by now. In the interim, Feb. 25 is a protected wager.

The query of what is going to be proven at this Unpacked occasion can be pretty straightforward to reply based mostly on precedent from earlier years. In brief, count on a number of details about the Galaxy S26 telephones. Identical to in earlier years, early leaks recommend there can be three new S26 smartphones:
Current reviews level to a fairly incremental refresh of the Galaxy S line this yr, which is fascinating as a result of there have been rumblings a number of months in the past that Samsung would shake issues up in 2026. The corporate was allegedly going to switch the Plus mannequin with a brand new ultra-thin Edge telephone, however Apple’s success with the iPhone 17 — placing pro-level options within the base telephone with out elevating the worth — reportedly prompted Samsung to drag again and follow what labored in earlier years.
We even have a checklist of potential coloration choices courtesy of Blass. The leaker mentioned the colours can be Black, White, Silver Shadow, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet, and Pink Gold. A minimum of two or three of these is perhaps on-line exclusives, which is what Samsung has executed up to now. Lastly, some early reviews point out that Samsung goes to attempt to maintain the costs of the telephones the identical as they had been final yr, even amidst the continued RAM scarcity that’s threatening to extend tech costs, or in some circumstances already actively doing so.
Sadly, we have additionally heard that Samsung will not supply its common pre-order supply, which lets early customers get double the storage at no additional value.
Are we lastly going to get the TriFold?

Final yr’s early Unpacked occasion was nearly completely targeted on Galaxy telephones and AI options for mentioned telephones, with a really transient shock look by Samsung’s XR headset on the finish. I’d count on this yr’s showcase to be equally targeted on Galaxy S26 telephones, however the truth that the Galaxy TriFold can be set to launch in early 2026 in america might justify a while being given to that telephone, as effectively. Samsung has already proven off that machine in Korea and at CES, although, so perhaps it will get a faster point out with a value and launch date as an alternative of a full, blown-out debut.
At any fee, we have apparently received a number of weeks to sit down and give it some thought.
