What to Expect?
Samsung is set to unveil its next Galaxy S series, which could include three variants: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, the exact names of these devices have not yet been confirmed. Samsung is also set to release the Galaxy Buds 4 series, which will probably include two models: the Galaxy Buds 4 and the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. These earbuds could come in black and white, but the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro may also be available in a special apricot colour only at the Samsung Online Store.
The new series is expected to improve daily user interactions and integrate Galaxy AI more easily from the beginning.

Sahil Karoul, a YouTuber, says he got the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for AED 12,000 (about Rs 296,000) before it was officially released. He posted pictures of the smartphone that show off its size and appearance, comparing it to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Vivo X300 Pro, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Reports say that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be around the same size as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with a white colour, a flat back panel, and a metal frame. It is thought that it will have a pill-shaped module with four cameras on the rear and a new place for the S Pen slot. Karoul also said that the S Pen might fail to support Bluetooth, which is in line with the specifications of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the last generation.

Karoul also discussed a new privacy screen feature in another tweet, aiming to significantly enhance customer privacy. When turned on, this function makes the content on the screen hard to see from the sides, making it darkened or hidden to those looking at it, although the primary user can still see the screen clearly from the front. People think that Samsung’s version of this privacy screen uses software to control the brightness and orientation of the pixels, which lets you see it from certain angles without needing an extra screen protector.
