If you thought smartphone innovation has peaked, think again. At Galaxy Unpacked 2026, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy S26 Series, setting the tone for what many are calling the era of truly intelligent, AI-powered phones. The excitement didn’t just stay on ground — it was captured, dissected, and reimagined through the lenses of our creators and media friends from Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) who joined us in San Francisco.

For a full rundown on Samsung’s enhanced Galaxy AI, exciting features of the new devices, and how they help users accomplish more with less effort, check out @adamlob0’s interview with Carl Nordenberg, VP & Regional Head of the Mobile eXperience Business.

Unpacked energy, from San Francisco to SEAO

Couldn’t be there in person? Creators like @volix.media brought the full Unpacked energy straight to our screens. From the moment the Galaxy S26 Series was unveiled, to hands-on time with the latest device, their content captured the cheers, the first reactions, and that collective “wow” as the capabilities of Galaxy AI came to life.

Your World Class Camera Companion

The Galaxy S26 Series isn’t just for calls, it’s fast becoming a creator’s go-to camera companion.

Unsteady hands? @droidlime shows off the new Super Steady with horizontal lock feature which helps keep your videos perfectly stabilized even with accidental wobbles.

Over on @fuzzchannel, we see how the Galaxy S26 camera system introduces creative possibilities, from expansive wide-angle shots to tight, detailed frames. Paired with Galaxy AI, creators have more control over every frame, empowering them to shoot, edit and share studio-worthy content—straight from their phones.

You can also turn imagination into reality. @geek_culture shows off the Galaxy S26 Series’ upgraded and powerful AI-powered Photo Assist, which helps refine images and express creativity with ease.

Privacy Is The Next Big Deal

Whether it’s personal texts, work emails, or banking information, the Galaxy S26 Series’ widely praised breakthrough Privacy Display protects your sensitive information and privacy on the go.

From Vietnam, the Schannel team breaks down and demonstrates how the brand-new feature works.

Adding to that, @chill_with_dan shares her first impressions on how you can customize the level of privacy to your needs. Thanks to an intelligent pixel-level layer, the display helps control what people around you can see, giving users a new sense of confidence when viewing sensitive information on their phones.

These are just some of the standout moments from Unpacked 2026. If you’d like to see more, you can check out the full replay of Unpacked here!

Galaxy users can instantly connect Buds4 Pro or Buds4 to the ecosystem of devices they already enjoy by simply opening the Buds cradle.[2] When paired with the Galaxy S26 series, together they deliver crisp and clear conversations.

From juggling work calls to catching up with loved ones, you’ll hear the difference loud and clear with HD voice.[3]

How does HD voice work?

The clarity begins with advanced AI-powered noise reduction. The Galaxy Buds4 series uses multiple microphones that collect sounds from different directions, along with a Voice Pick Up Unit (VPU) which helps detect and prioritize users’ voices. Advanced networks then analyze the sound in real time to separate speech from background noise such as traffic, wind, or other nearby conversations.

Traditional Bluetooth calls capture voice frequencies with a limited bandwidth, causing speech to sound compressed and less natural. HD voice preserves more natural detail during communications by doubling the Bluetooth bandwidth to 16kHz, called super wide band. HD voice also uses machine learning models trained for noise reduction and voice enhancement to enable a wider range of the human voice to be transmitted.

Wider Audio Range Brings Out Every Word

This expanded range helps capture subtle sounds like “s”, “z”, “th”, and “f”, which help distinguish words that are hard to understand in standard Bluetooth calls. By preserving these details, conversations are clearer and more natural.

By combining intelligent noise reduction and expanded Bluetooth bandwidth, HD voice creates a call experience that feels closer to speaking in person.

Galaxy Buds are the only Bluetooth earbuds that can support HD voice on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

How to activate HD Voice:  Open your Galaxy Buds, then on your Galaxy Smartphone, go to Settings à Your Galaxy Buds Settings à Sound quality and effects à Advanced quality options à Super wide band speech

The Galaxy Ecosystem Difference

While many earbuds offer clear calls, Galaxy Buds paired with Galaxy devices are engineered   to optimize HD voice performance. From the moment you make or answer a call, your Galaxy Buds4 series will preserve voice details while reducing background noise to help ensure every word comes through naturally.

That’s the advantage of Galaxy ecosystem integration and end-to-end optimization.
