Here is a gif of a video teaser Samsung released for its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.
Samsung announced on Tuesday that it will hold an event on Feb. 25 in San Francisco. While the company didn’t say for sure what will be announced, we assume it will be the rumored Galaxy S26 line of phones, including a Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung did put out a nifty animated video that might offer up clues and easter eggs about what we can expect.
The invite video starts with a white square that “comes to life” and transforms into a frosted translucent cube with a sparkle emoji, which has become the default symbol for AI. The cube starts hopping around, then rolls across the word Galaxy, and as it reaches the end of the word, the letters AI appear behind the cube. This sends the cube airborne, where it splits open and releases the AI sparkle emoji.
Next, the AI emoji sparkle levitates and self-enlarges, rising above the cube’s remains. (If you’re watching the video version, you’ll hear Samsung’s signature Over the Horizon ringtone melody play.) Then it cuts to a black screen with the text “Galaxy Unpacked,” the date, and a note that it will be live on Samsung’s website.
Obviously, we are likely to see a revamp or new additions to Galaxy AI, which debuted on the Galaxy S24 series in January 2024. The frosted cube, though, is confounding. Could this be a new look for the AI interface on Galaxy phones? Is Samsung adopting Apple’s Liquid Glass? Or might Samsung announce a Humane AI Pin-like device shaped like a cube? Also, there weren’t any hints about a phone in the invite and that bums me out.
