5 surprise products Samsung could unveil at Unpacked - including an ultra wide phone
SMRTR summary
Samsung smart glasses that have been secretly developed since late 2024 could finally make their debut at Unpacked 2026 next week, alongside the expected Galaxy S26 flagship phones. The tech giant has been quietly partnering with eyewear brands Warby Parker and Gentle Monster on a mysterious wearable device that runs on Google's XR ecosystem, with features reportedly similar to Meta's Ray-Bans.
During Samsung's recent earnings call, executive Seong Cho confirmed the company plans to release smart glasses this year, making the February 25th event a prime candidate for the reveal. The glasses are expected to focus on audio, AI assistance, and hands-free controls rather than flashy augmented reality displays.
Beyond the smart glasses, Samsung may also unveil the Galaxy A57 midrange phone and its OneUI 8.5 software update, which is already in beta testing. The software emphasizes content creation with improved photo editing tools and a new AI feature called Now Nudge that suggests contextual actions based on what's happening on your screen.
