We are officially 12 days away. On February 25, 2026, Samsung will take the stage in San Francisco for its first Samsung Unpacked event of the year. We already know the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the star of the show (check our previous blog for the price shock). But what else is Samsung hiding?
Here are the 3 biggest rumors circling the tech world this week.
1. Samsung Unpacked – The “Galaxy XR” Headset Teaser
Apple has the Vision Pro. Meta has the Quest 3. Where is Samsung? Reliable leakers suggest that Samsung will finally tease its “Infinite XR” headset.
- The Rumor: It runs on Google’s new “Android XR” platform and uses Qualcomm’s XR2+ Gen 3 chip.
- Expectation: We likely won’t see the full device, but a “One More Thing” style teaser at the end of the event is highly probable.
2. The New “Cobalt Violet” Color
Design-wise, the S26 series is looking very similar to the S25. To make it stand out, Samsung is banking on colors.
- The Hero Color: Cobalt Violet. A deep, metallic purple that looks much darker and premium than the previous “Lavender.”
- The Exclusive: Expect a “Titanium Gray” and “Amber Yellow” as online exclusives.
3. Galaxy Ring 2? (Maybe)
It has been two years since the first Galaxy Ring. Rumors say the Galaxy Ring 2 might make a surprise appearance with:
- NFC Payments: Tap-to-pay with your finger.
- Better Battery: Up to 9 days on a single charge.
- Note: This is a 50/50 chance. Some insiders say it’s delayed until August.
Verdict
If you are bored of standard smartphone updates, tune in for the XR Headset news. That is where the next battleground lies. Set your alarms: Feb 25, 10:00 PM (PKT).
