It’s finally official. After a range of early leaks and rumors, and the tech giant inadvertently leaking the info itself early in the week, Samsung has finally pulled the curtain on the official Galaxy Unpacked 2026 invite.

We first heard about Samsung moving its 2026 Unpacked to late February last year. The same date came up in subsequent rumors this year, followed by the South Korean tech giant’s own X account leaking the same date via a giveaway’s terms and conditions.

The date in all of those rumors was Wednesday, February 25 — a date that Samsung has now officially confirmed for its grand Galaxy S26 unveiling.

Here’s everything you need to know:

We’re expecting to see the Galaxy S26 series at the event, complete with new Galaxy Buds. Samsung will tie the event together with One UI 8.5-related enhancements, and, of course, AI updates. According to the tech giant, the release of its new devices will mark “a new phase in the era of AI as intelligence becomes truly personal and adaptive.”

With the announcement, the South Korean tech giant also shared a few pre-order and pre-reserve perks. Reserving now will cost you nothing, but it does give you a $30 credit toward your pre-order. Additionally, it also guarantees you a spot into a sweepstakes for a $5,000 Samsung gift card.

Elsewhere, as we’ve seen previously, Samsung is offering up to $900 in credits if you trade in an old device, complete with a new ‘No Trade-In’ perk that gives you $150 credit to spend on accessories if you pre-reserve a new Galaxy S26 series device and then go through with the pre-order.
