Samsung’s next Unpacked is confirmed for later this month

Source: The Verge

Release date

Samsung’s annual Galaxy S‑series reveal is later than usual this year, but we finally have a confirmed date to circle on the calendar: February 25th (YouTube invitation).

Leak overview

If you were hoping for major hardware upgrades from the company’s flagship phones, you probably shouldn’t hold your breath: an extensive leak published by WinFuture has seemingly confirmed that the S26 series will be a software‑focused affair.

Battery

According to the leaked specs, the standard S26 will allegedly get a nominally larger battery — 4300 mAh compared to 4000 mAh — which is great news for the last “small” phone left standing.

Camera

Camera hardware looks to be much the same as last year, though the main and 5× telephoto lenses appear to have faster apertures, which would be beneficial for low‑light photos. All three phones will lack built‑in Qi 2 magnets, outsourcing them to cases instead.

Storage & RAM

Storage and RAM configurations look similar to last year, with a minimum of 16 GB of RAM across the line. WinFuture suggests that the cheaper 128 GB version of the standard S26 may be going away.

Outlook

We’ll find out in a couple of weeks just how accurate this leak is, but given the emphasis on Galaxy AI in the invitation graphics, it’s likely the focus will be on software enhancements.
