On the eve of its Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event in London, Samsung stands at a threshold familiar to all great makers: the moment before revelation, when ambition must answer to reality. The South Korean company is poised to unveil not merely new devices, but a vision of how foldable screens, intelligent wearables, and augmented reality might weave together into a single, AI-powered way of living. Whether this constellation of products marks a genuine leap forward or an expensive rehearsal for a future not yet ready will be a question only time — and the hands of ordinary users — can answer.
