Mumbai, February 13: Samsung is preparing to strengthen its foothold in the premium smartphone segment with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, expected to be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event on 25 February 2026. The flagship introduces practical refinements such as enhanced privacy tools, better sustained performance, and a refreshed design with softer curves and a lighter armour aluminium frame.

One of the key highlights is Samsung’s Adaptive Privacy Display, a hardware feature that restricts side-angle viewing in public spaces while keeping the screen clear for the user. Combined with Qualcomm’s latest chipset and an upgraded cooling system, the device is expected to manage demanding tasks like extended gaming sessions and 8K video recording more efficiently. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026: Galaxy S26 Series To Launch on February 25, 2026 With Focus on Personalised AI.
