Table of contents Product announcements Software & feature announcements Pricing & availability Samsung held its first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2026 on Wednesday, February 25 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. The theme was “Your Companion to AI Living,” built around what Samsung calls “Agentic AI” software that anticipates your needs and handles multi-step tasks across your devices. The keynote unveiled the Galaxy S26 series, the redesigned Galaxy Buds4 lineup, the Galaxy Z TriFold, and Samsung’s first pair of multimodal AI smart glasses. If you want to see how this event compares to last year’s, read our full breakdown of Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 vs 2025 Here’s everything that was announced at the event. Product announcements at Galaxy Unpacked 2026 1. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Image source: Samsung on YouTube The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is Samsung’s most powerful phone for 2026, built around a titanium frame and packed with features aimed at professionals. We covered everything expected from this device in our earlier piece on Samsung Galaxy phones coming in 2026 The biggest new feature is the world’s first built-in Privacy Display. Samsung calls it “Flex Magic Pixel,” and it works at the pixel level using electronic current and light dispersion. When you look at it straight on, you get the full QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 10-bit colour depth and flagship-level peak brightness. When someone looks at your screen from the side, they see nothing. No aftermarket privacy film needed. This is especially useful if you work in busy cities like Lagos or Nairobi, where shoulder surfing is a real concern. The display is also covered by Gorilla Armor 2, which cuts glare by up to 75%. Under the hood, it runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. Samsung also redesigned the internal cooling system, repositioning the vapour chamber to more evenly distribute heat across the device. That means your phone holds its performance during video editing or heavy gaming without slowing down. For the camera, here’s what you get: 200MP main sensor with a wider aperture that takes in 47% more light than the S25 Ultra 50MP periscope telephoto lens 10MP telephoto lens 50MP ultra-wide sensor You can also shoot 8K video using the new APV (Advanced Professional Video) codec, which preserves near-lossless quality for post-production editing. Price and availability Nigeria: starting at approximately ₦1,705,000 for the 256GB model Global: $1,299.99 Pre-orders open February 26, retail launch March 11, 2026 2. Galaxy Z TriFold The Galaxy Z TriFold made its global commercial debut at Unpacked 2026. Samsung had teased the tri-folding design before, but this is the first time it’s being launched globally. Using a dual-hinge “Z” design, it unfolds from a standard smartphone into a large AMOLED display that works as a mobile workstation with standalone Samsung DeX support, no external screen needed. Key specs: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset 16GB RAM as standard 5,600mAh battery, the largest ever in a Galaxy foldable 200MP main camera, the same sensor as the Ultra It’s also built with nine recycled materials, including plastics from discarded fishing nets and recycled lithium. Price and availability Global: $2,500 (approximately ₦3,500,000 in Nigeria) Rolling out to the United States, Europe, and Nigeria in Q1 2026 3. Samsung Smart Glasses Samsung also announced its Smart Glasses, built in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, with design input from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. They weigh 50 grams and are designed for all-day wear. The glasses run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 platform and Android XR. They come in two versions: A voice and sensor model for basic AI assistance A display model that overlays digital information onto the lens The built-in 12MP camera with autofocus lets the Gemini AI see what you see, enabling features like real-time translation of street signs and identification of objects around you just by looking at them. Pricing is estimated at $500-$800, consistent with high-end AR wearables in this category. Global release is expected later in 2026. 4. Galaxy Buds4 Pro Image source: Samsung on YouTube The Buds4 Pro is a complete redesign. Samsung used over 100 million global ear-shape data points and 10,000 fit simulations to get the fit right, built for comfort even during 24-hour wear. On the audio side: A new bezel-less woofer expands the vibrating surface area by 20% Paired with a dedicated tweeter for ultra-high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz audio Adaptive ANC that adjusts noise-blocking intensity based on your ear shape and environment Two features worth highlighting: “Head Gestures” lets you answer a call with a nod or decline it with a head shake, no hands needed. You can also launch AI agents like Gemini and Perplexity directly from the buds using your voice, so your phone can stay in your pocket. 5. Galaxy S26+ The S26+ sits between the base S26 and the Ultra, giving you a large-screen experience without the S Pen or Privacy Display. It comes with a QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with peak brightness suited for gaming and streaming. New this year is “ProScaler,” an AI feature that improves the resolution and colour of your streaming video in real time. For Nigeria, the S26+ may ship with either the Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, depending on regional distribution, both paired with 12GB of RAM. 6. Galaxy S26 The base Galaxy S26 is the most accessible phone in the S26 lineup. Samsung has standardised 12GB of RAM across the entire S26 series, a 4GB increase over last year’s base model, specifically to support on-device Agentic AI tools. The 128GB storage option is gone. You now get 256GB as the baseline, double what you got before. Globally, the price went up by $100. 7. Galaxy Buds4 The standard Buds4 brings most of the Pro’s improvements at a lower price. It keeps the Machine Learning-powered “Super Clear Call” feature, which uses three microphones per earbud and 16kHz bandwidth support for clear audio in noisy environments. It also has a semi-transparent charging case and

The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event, held on Wednesday, February 25, in San Francisco, in the United States of America, marked a pivotal shift from traditional smartphone launches to a broader vision of an integrated AI lifestyle. Notably, the entire keynote presentation was captured and livestreamed using the Galaxy S26 Ultra, demonstrating the device’s professional-grade broadcast capabilities. Image Source: Samsung Key highlights The event focused on the transition from generative AI to autonomous agents. Samsung introduced a multi-agent ecosystem, allowing users to choose between various AI assistants for specific tasks. A significant portion of the presentation was dedicated to the brand’s environmental commitments, specifically focusing on water management and circularity. Samsung detailed its progress in incorporating recycled minerals and ocean-bound plastics into its latest hardware, alongside a new initiative to restore water to local communities in proportion to the water used in its manufacturing processes. Products unveiled Galaxy S26 series: The flagship lineup featuring the S26, S26+, and the S26 Ultra. Galaxy Buds 4 series: New earbuds featuring an upgraded design and AI-powered active noise cancellation. New features Privacy display: Debuting on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, this is the world’s first privacy display on mobile. Powered by “Flex Magic Pixel” technology, it allows for hardware-level control of viewing angles. When activated, the screen appears dark to prying eyes from the side, effectively eliminating “shoulder surfing” without the need for physical screen protectors. Multi-Agent AI: For the first time, Samsung has integrated Perplexity AI at a system level alongside Gemini and Bixby. “We are building life-enhancing innovations that are dependable, broadly available and foundational to everyday life,” Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of Mobile eXperience Business, said. “ To achieve this, our priorities are clear. AI must become a part of our infrastructure. You should be able to enjoy its benefits through the devices you use every day.” One UI 8.5: The new software layer introduces “Now Brief,” which provides a personalised summary of the user’s day on the lock screen, and “Drawing Assist” to turn rough sketches into polished digital art. Vascular load tracking: A new health metric for the wearable ecosystem that monitors stress on the vascular system during sleep. Availability and preorders Samsung confirmed that the new range of devices will be available for purchase from March 11. For those eager to secure the hardware early, preorders for the Galaxy S26 series and Galaxy Buds 4 start from today.
Read MoreOnly 20 of Nigeria’s 33 deposit money banks have met the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) new minimum capital requirements less than a month before the March 31, 2026, deadline, CBN governor Olayemi Cardoso said. “Of the 33 banks that have raised additional capital, 20 have met the new minimum capital requirements, reaffirming the steady progress towards a more robust capitalised financial system,” he said during the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) briefing on Tuesday. His comments come as Nigeria’s most ambitious banking recapitalisation drive in nearly two decades enters its final stretch, with lagging lenders facing shrinking options ahead of the March deadline. The recapitalisation exercise, first announced in 2024, is meant to strengthen banks’ balance sheets amid rising inflation, currency volatility, and growing credit risks, while positioning lenders to finance Nigeria’s long-term ambition of becoming a $1 trillion economy. The CBN also expects stronger capital buffers to restore investor confidence, absorb unexpected shocks, and improve financial system stability following years of macroeconomic pressure. Under the new regime, banks must meet minimum paid-up capital based on their operating licences: international banks to ₦500 billion ($370.58 million), national banks to ₦200 billion ($148.23 million), regional banks to ₦50 billion ($37.06 million), merchant banks to ₦50 billion ($37.06 million), non-interest banks with national authorisation to ₦20 billion ($14.82 million), and non-interest banks with regional authorisation to ₦10 billion ($7.41 million). A recent report by S&P Global Ratings, an international credit rating agency, shows that most of Nigeria’s largest lenders have already crossed the regulatory threshold. According to the rating agency, nine of the 10 rated commercial banks, which together account for roughly 80% of total banking system assets, already meet the new capital requirements. The banks collectively raised about ₦2.3 trillion ($1.71 billion) in fresh capital during 2025. “We anticipate that some smaller banks may explore options such as mergers or business model adjustments to ensure compliance with the new capital requirements,” S&P said. Although the CBN did not disclose which lenders have fully complied, several tier-one banks, including Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO), have publicly announced successful capital raises. With the deadline approaching, attention is now shifting toward smaller and mid-tier lenders that may still be weighing consolidation or strategic partnerships to meet the requirement. Unity Bank Plc and Providus Bank Limited recently announced that their proposed merger is nearing completion, with the combined entity’s capital base surpassing ₦200 billion ($148.23 million).
