Samsung may have indirectly revealed Galaxy S26 launch date

Samsung is expected to launch its next lineup of non-foldable flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S26 series, on 25 February 2026. While the brand hasn’t announced the date for the next Galaxy Unpacked event officially, it may have indirectly revealed when it's going to debut these phones through a promotional event.

On X, Samsung Gulf has announced a promotional campaign where people will have to comment on the post about what will happen at the next Galaxy Unpacked event to stand a chance to win the Galaxy S25 or the Galaxy Watch 8. The post also contains a link to the terms and conditions document for the event.

In this document, Samsung says that the campaign is split into two phases: ‘Before Galaxy Unpacked,‘ and ‘During and After Galaxy Unpacked.‘ The first phase starts on 2 February 2026 and ends on 24 February 2026. Whereas the second phase starts on 25 February 2026 and ends on 10 April 2026.

These phases and their timeframes strongly suggest that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S26 series on 25 February 2026, which is exactly what previous reports about it have been claiming. At this event, the South Korean tech giant is also expected to launch the Galaxy Buds 4 and the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.
