Mumbai, 13 February: Samsung is set to reinforce its presence in the premium smartphone market with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, expected to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event on 25 February 2026. The flagship brings practical upgrades such as stronger privacy tools, improved sustained performance and a refreshed design featuring softer  curves and a lighter armour aluminium frame.

A key highlight is Samsung’s Adaptive Privacy Display, a hardware feature that limits side-angle visibility in public while keeping the screen clear for the user. Paired with Qualcomm’s newest chipset and an upgraded cooling system, the phone should handle heavy workloads like long gaming sessions and 8K video capture more smoothly. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026: Galaxy S26 Series To Launch on February 25, 2026 With Focus on Personalised AI.
