follow today’s Unpacked 2026 presentation live

by

Important day for Samsung. Like every year, and practically at the gates of MWC 2026, the Korean firm has summoned us in San Francisco to attend his Galaxy Unpacked. At this event we will almost certainly learn about their new batch of smartphones and innovations in artificial intelligence. It is an important event and, as it could not be otherwise, you will be able to follow it live and direct with us. The first Galaxy Unpacked of the year will take place today, February 25, at 7:00 p.m., Spanish peninsular time. You can follow it on our live page, on YouTube (where we will have an exclusive surprise) and on Instagramsince our colleague Eva Rodríguez has flown to the other side of the pond to attend the conference. The schedules according to regions are as follows: Spain: 19:00 (18:00 in the Canary Islands). Mexico: 12:00 PM. Colombia: 1:00 PM. Venezuela: 2:00 PM Chile and Argentina: 3:00 PM. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026, live What we hope to see Unless there is some surprise in the form of glasses, a new format wearable or, who knows, a quantifier ring, it is to be expected that the main protagonists of the Unpacked that concerns us today will be the Galaxy S26. If everything goes as in previous years, the family will be made up of three terminals, the most powerful and complete being the Ultra model. Along with the folding ones, which we will surely see in the summer, the company’s portfolio does not seem like it will change much. It makes sense. After all, 2026 is a difficult year for the consumer technology sector, which is exposed to a pressing lack of chips, specifically RAM and storage. Thus, the Galaxy S26 surely represents an incremental improvement compared to the last generation focused on specific aspects, such as the camera and the battery. AI, of course, will once again occupy a central space in the presentation. Samsung is betting big on Galaxy AI and, in fact, we know that one of the big news this year is its multi-agent approach with Bixby, Google Gemini and Perplexity. Three assistants in a single device, let’s see how Samsung has managed it. As for other devices that could have their share of prominence, Samsung has not talked about them for a long time. glasses with Android XR. It has also been two years without renewing the Galaxy Ringwhich now, with silicon-carbon batteries on the table, would perhaps make more sense. We will clear up doubts in just a few minutes, see you live! In Xataka | Follow Galaxy Unpacked live

Samsung confirms the date of its next Unpacked in a year full of challenges

by

The Samsung Galaxy S26 They are just around the corner. We could intuit that, but now it is official. And Samsung just confirmed the date of your next Galaxy Unpackedan event that will take place at the gates of the Mobile World Congress (although much further away) and in which AI will once again be the main protagonist. when and where. Galaxy Unpacked will take place on February 25 in the city of San Francisco, United States. The conference will be at 7:00 p.m., Spanish peninsular time, and can be followed through the usual channels. Among them, of course, the live one we will do from Xataka. What do we expect? Unless there are surprises, it is most likely that we will know the new Samsung Galaxy S26. If nothing changes, it should be a family of three devices, with the Ultra model being the flagship. Even though AI PCs have not finished taking shapeSamsung has already started talking about “AI Phone” and assures that its new smartphones represent “a new stage in the era of artificial intelligence, where technology becomes truly personal and adaptable.” We’ll see what this means. A year of challenges. Samsung has a tough year ahead. The Galaxy S are no longer the only exponents of the most premium high-end and Chinese firms are pushing hard. There they are OPPO, Xiaomi, Motorola and Honorto give just a few examples. In terms of pure and simple specifications, the entire high-end range plays more or less in the same league, although Samsung starts with a clear advantage: brand positioning and ecosystem. As far as the technical specifications are concerned, last year we missed a more notable leap in photography and battery. Seeing how Chinese brands are spending money on silicon-carbon batteries and the 200 megapixel telephotosthis year these two sections aim to become even more important. Without forgetting the component crisis. Another important aspect that will be interesting to see how Samsung has resolved is that of the components, courtesy of AI. We are immersed in a RAM and storage crisis, to the point that we are seeing mobile phones again with four gigabytes of RAM and not so ambitious configurations. And it is important, because RAM goes far beyond keeping more apps in the background. On the other hand, and everything must be said, there is no evil that does not come with good. Samsung is one of the largest manufacturers of RAM and that branch of the business is scary. The results for the fourth quarter of 2025 speak for themselves: a year-on-year profit increase of 208% and shares completely skyrocketing.

Samsung’s triple folding did not appear in the Unpacked. The good news is that it will not take long to see it

by

Samsung’s unpacked left us with a whole new range of folding devices. The fold7 and flip7 They were the protagonists of the evening, also hollowing the Flip7 Fe and the new ones Samsung Galaxy Watch8. However, we stayed with the thorn stuck to know more about that rumored Triple folding of the firm. The good thing is that we will not have to wait for much more to know about him. Official confirmation. Roh Tae-Moon, responsible for the Samsung device division, has declared that he hopes to launch the ‘Trifold’ phone before the end of the year, he mentioned the media The Korea Times. “We are working hard on a Trifold smartphone with the aim of launching it at the end of this year,” the executive explained. The company is now focused on perfecting the product and its usability, although they have not yet decided its final name. A new member joins its folding. Samsung has been dominating and popularizing the folding smartphones market, which initially generated skepticism in the industry when they made an appearance For the first time in 2019. Now these devices have become an important segment for the company’s brand image, and the technological giant wants to continue marking the rhythm. The Trifold would represent the next natural evolutionary step after the popular Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. Three folds, three sizes. The device would allow three different configurations: as a traditional smartphone, as a tablet when partially deployed, and as an even bigger screen when completely opened. It would also allow you to use one of the three faces as a support for a surface. Although it is rumored that it could be called Galaxy G fold, Samsung has not yet confirmed its official name. The company He gave little clues of this concept in January during its unpacked event, and several internal files of One UI 8 suggest that its development is advanced. The competition has aroused Samsung. The Korean firm is not alone in this race. Huawei already markets your Mate XTthe only trifold currently available in the market. Another Samsung executive who did not reveal his name, commented to the environment Android Authority That the company has the design ready and could “put it in production”, but that they must first identify a clear “purpose” for this new factor of form. “We have been with a trifold, designed and everything. What we are discussing is viability. Is there really demand for this form of form?” He explained. And now what. The launch of the Trifold would also be framed in Samsung’s strategy to create optimized devices for artificial intelligence. The company considers that smartphones are no longer only tools, but are becoming “colleagues” who see, understand and respond to what users are seeing in real time. Samsung plans to take the functions of Galaxy AI at 400 million galaxy devices that exist in the world before the end of the year. Cover image | Samsung In Xataka | Best folding mobiles in 2025.

The Galaxy S25 have forgotten the best technology of the year

by

A sublime integration with Geminiinteresting news in the photographic section, the more powerful processor of the industry and a new design that we had been waiting for years for the most advanced model. These are some of the improvements that have made the Unpacked 2025 and that Samsung has shown as the main assets to buy one of the new Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra. But, like everything in this life, you cannot get everything right in each section, and There is one that the Korean company has completely forgotten about. What is the great lack of the Samsung Galaxy S25? The battery. The company has not moved a single figure from one year to the next, and maintains the same mAh in each of the models. The design and dimensions hardly change in the new devices – beyond the new Ultra – which could justify the lack of news in this section. Samsung has gone too far when it comes to talking about its batteries, autonomy and fast chargingimplying that it is a section without much room for improvement. Is this true? Are there any relevant milestones in the industry? Has Samsung been left behind? The Galaxy S25 forgets the most important novelty in the battery industry in recent years We are not exaggerating in the slightest. During the last quarter of 2024, the battery industry—specifically those for mobile phones—has achieved a very relevant milestone: the marketing and distribution of silicon-carbon cells. Not only are they fully developed, but there are already several smartphones on sale that integrate them. A good example is the Xiaomi 15a device that was presented in China a couple of months ago with a increase of almost 900 mAh compared to the previous generation. The most interesting thing? Its thickness has only increased by 0.1 millimeterspractically nothing. All thanks to the higher energy density of silicon-carbon. Even much more modest models are betting on this technology. In the mid-range is the Honor Magic7 Litea newcomer to Spain that we have been able to test and that boasts of 6,600 mAh in a 7.98 millimeter body and 189 grams of weight. To put this data in perspective, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 5,000 mAh battery that is 8.2 millimeters thick. With these figures on the table, it is impossible not to think that Samsung has missed a good opportunity to make a difference. Opting for silicon-carbon batteries in the Galaxy S25 series would have been a true revolution and a very important leap compared to the previous generation. Only time will tell if Samsung is wrong with this decision, although one thing seems quite obvious: the competition, especially that which comes from China, wants to revolutionize autonomies by 2025 and make mobile phones with huge batteries that are not limited by a thicker or heavier design than normal. It’s a shame that Samsung hasn’t jumped on this boat. Fast charging, but not too fast This 2025 we not only have identical batteries to the 2024 generation, also a fast charge that does not move a single watt (W). Samsung is once again betting on 45 W in the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra, while at the bottom of the list is the Galaxy S25 with a power of 25 W. It is another section that leaves us with a bittersweet taste. Samsung and Apple are fighting a lonely battle for slow fast charging, and while the market is not asking for abysmal 200W powers, it is supporting brands that choose to raise the level a little and allow 80 or 90 W recharges. The figures of the new mobile phones, without being considered slow – the 25 W of the Galaxy S25 yes, everything must be said – They are at the bottom of the industrysomething that does not quite add up when we talk about three mobile phones that intend to reign in the high-end for much of 2025. The Samsung Galaxy S25 are great devices, they come with a good dose of AI, several of the best cameras of the year and unparalleled power for gaming, but they have not managed to finish off and justify the generation step when we talk about battery and fast charging. Using silicon-carbon would have been the culmination, but Samsung wanted to reserve this technology for later.

New Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Edge, Project Moohan and all the news from the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event

by

San José has been, once again, the city chosen by Samsung for its first major conference of the year (with permission from the CES 2025where he also presented things). The company has summoned us to present its new batch of devices, the Samsung Galaxy S25and has left us some surprises in the form of augmented reality glasses and a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge which we only know exists. With the conference just over and waiting to get our hands on the new Korean terminals to analyze them in depth, here is a summary of everything the company has presented. This is how Samsung makes money: the secret is in the IPHONE All the news about the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ | Image: Xataka Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+. They are very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S24, and that is good news. They are well-built terminals that were already good. Now they are simply better courtesy of Qualcomm and artificial intelligence. The company has opted for Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (that customized version with a little more power) and, although much of the technical sheet remains unchanged, the improvements that One UI 7 promises thanks to Galaxy AI are not bad. The difference between the two models is evident: the size, the battery, and the resolution are higher in the Galaxy S25+. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra | Image: Xataka Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Another example of refinement. Samsung’s flagship has slightly changed its design to be less angled, lighter and somewhat less thick. The hardware remains top of the line with the aforementioned Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, but we also have other details such as the screen Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2the 50 megapixel wide angle, a lot of AI and, as a novelty for video lovers, the possibility of recording in LOG. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge | Image: Xataka Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Shown briefly at the end of Unpacked, this curious, very thin and mysterious Galaxy S25 Edge has left us wanting more. It is a terminal about which we know absolutely nothing, beyond the fact that it is very finite, that it only has two cameras and that the prototype is on display in the test room at the event in San José. Surely we will see more throughout the year, but this has been, without a doubt, one of the big surprises. Project Moohan | Image: Xataka Project Moohan. We know for a long time that Samsung and Google are working on augmented reality glasses powered by Android XR. This project has its own name, Project Moohan, and although it still seems somewhat distant, we have been able to know that they are still underway and, above all, what they are like. Because yes, just like the Galaxy S25 Edge, the Samsung and Google headset was exposed, which allowed us to take some photos and see it up close, but not touch it. One UI 7 | Image: Xataka One UI 7. Last but not least, Samsung has revealed One UI 7, or in other words, its Galaxy AI news. Little things are coming to the Samsung ecosystem. The Korean company has announced functions such as call transcription, Gemini as a native assistant (yes, it coexists with Bixby), the news of the excellent Circle to Search and some editing functions such as audio suppression.
