What to expect from the Galaxy S26 lineup
According to SamMobile, the S26 series will include three models: Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra. Larger displays, faster processors and batteries with greater capacity are expected. The Ultra model is said to receive more noticeable camera upgrades and faster charging.
Among features mentioned by sources are Privacy Display technology and a front camera with a wider field of view. It is also reported that satellite connectivity will be implemented across all models in the series.
Accessories: Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro
Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro with a refreshed design, improved noise cancellation and touch controls. Leaks, however, do not suggest new Galaxy Watches or tablets at this event.
Why satellite connectivity is an important update
Satellite connectivity in smartphones is not just a marketing gimmick. For users facing mobile network outages, it means a backup communication channel for messages and basic services. Analysts note that such capabilities increase communication resilience in crisis areas and make the device more practical for those who prioritize reliability.
What this means for the market and users in Ukraine
If Samsung confirms satellite capabilities and a focus on battery life, the S26 could become a choice for users who value reliable communication and high-quality event documentation. It is also a signal to carriers and service providers — such features change coverage and service requirements.
Brief summary
Unpacked on February 25 is expected to show an evolution of Samsung's focus: from technical specifications to features that increase a device’s viability in challenging conditions. The key now is to see how the manufacturer implements satellite connectivity in practice and whether it will meet the real needs of users in Ukraine.
