What to expect from the Galaxy S26 lineup

According to SamMobile, the S26 series will include three models: Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra. Larger displays, faster processors and batteries with greater capacity are expected. The Ultra model is said to receive more noticeable camera upgrades and faster charging.

Among features mentioned by sources are Privacy Display technology and a front camera with a wider field of view. It is also reported that satellite connectivity will be implemented across all models in the series.

Accessories: Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro

Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro with a refreshed design, improved noise cancellation and touch controls. Leaks, however, do not suggest new Galaxy Watches or tablets at this event.

Why satellite connectivity is an important update

Satellite connectivity in smartphones is not just a marketing gimmick. For users facing mobile network outages, it means a backup communication channel for messages and basic services. Analysts note that such capabilities increase communication resilience in crisis areas and make the device more practical for those who prioritize reliability.

What this means for the market and users in Ukraine

If Samsung confirms satellite capabilities and a focus on battery life, the S26 could become a choice for users who value reliable communication and high-quality event documentation. It is also a signal to carriers and service providers — such features change coverage and service requirements.

Brief summary

Unpacked on February 25 is expected to show an evolution of Samsung's focus: from technical specifications to features that increase a device’s viability in challenging conditions. The key now is to see how the manufacturer implements satellite connectivity in practice and whether it will meet the real needs of users in Ukraine.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
