Mumbai, February 26: Samsung Electronics has officially unveiled its much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S26 series in India at the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event, marking a notable upgrade in its smartphone portfolio with the arrival of "agentic" AI. The flagship Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra heads the lineup, showcasing a refined design that is the slimmest in Ultra history while still maintaining strong structural durability. This third-generation AI-focused device is built to function proactively in the background, aiming to cut down manual steps in everyday digital tasks through deep system-level integration.

The new range introduces multiple industry-first enhancements, especially a hardware-based Privacy Display on the Ultra variant that shields on-screen content at the pixel level. Apart from visual refinements, the phone emphasises smooth transitions between capturing, editing and sharing content.
