I’m a tech enthusiast, and I know you are too – we live for the thrill of upcoming gadgets! Right now the rumor mill is buzzing, and I want to share with you the top devices rumoured to be launched before March. From cutting-edge smartphones to powerful laptops (and wearables, tablets and everything in between), there’s a lot on the horizon. In this article, I’ll walk you through the most exciting candidates – so you can feel prepared, informed, and as excited as I am about what’s coming. Let’s started!
Smartphones and Foldables to Expect.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 will be launched on the 25 th of February, 2026. Leaks indicate an average S26 and a more expensive S26 Ultra, possibly with more slender bodies and superior cameras than in the previous year. According to the Android Central, Samsung has a Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled on the same day. I would like to view the final design and features that could be an enhanced Ultra-zoom lens and faster charge.
There are also the big Chinese brands entering early race. Xiaomi is likely to launch its Xiaomi 17 series at the Mobile World Congress in February 2026, with a global target with it. The flagship 17 Ultra will also have a Snapdragon 8 Ultra 5 Plus processor and a huge 6,800mAh battery, which is attractive to power users. It has also 200MP telephoto camera with 75-100mm zoom and 6.9 inch OLED display. Android Central mentions that Xiaomi uses MWC to introduce new models, and hence, the phones should be released globally soon after it.
Google is setting the standards of mid-range phones. Pixel 10a was announced on February 18, 2026 and expected to be released in March. This is confirmed by Google and preview videos feature AI-powered camera features, 30-hour battery, and a lower price point. It is said that the Pixel 10a will retain the same Tensor G4 chip and cameras found in the Pixel 9a, but with a more updated design. Shortly put, it is a budget phone with good specifications, even at the price of less than half a thousand dollars.
Too Devices To be Launched
The following are some of the additional top devices rumoured to be launched before March that I am looking forward to:
1. Honor Magic V6 A new book-style foldable has the potential to be launched at MWC in March 2026. It is rumored to be powered by Snapdragon 8 elite chip, a long-life silicon-carbon battery, and a triple camera system, competing with the best foldables made by Samsung. It must be lighter and maybe lower priced than the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Honor Robot Phone Honor and More, Inc. proposal: a concept phone in which the camera has a gimbal design and can rotate on itself (pop-up camera). Honor will introduce it at MWC, and it suggests that the shots will be stabilized by AI and face-tracking. Imagine it is an embedded action camera.
2.Nothing Phone / 4a / 4a – these are mid-range phones that will be launched on March 5, 2026. The phones will not fail to launch a flagship this year and will come with updated cameras, a new design, and a new chip, all encased in the transparent shell that the company is known to do. The 3a series was a low-end offering, and the 4a models will likely remain that way.
3. Moto Razr 70 Ultra / 70: Motorola can unveil these folds in the middle of 2026. Razr 70 Ultra will be an, flagship book-style foldable that comes with large silicon-carbon battery and Pantone-approved colors. It may be previewed at MWC or CES, and the details will be available by the end of Q1.
4. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold / Z Flip 8/9 – will be the next Foldables by Samsung, probably after the S26 in February. They would come in July or August 2026. There are no leaks at all, but every new generation of the Z Fold/Flip, Samsung tends to push the limit of design and battery.
All these rumors excite me. Some of the devices are unique, such as AI cameras, longer battery life, or folding screens. I will certainly be observing them in the coming one month or two.
Smartwatches and Wearables
The wearables are another booming trend of the new year. Samsung can update its leading outdoor watch. Android Central discovered filings that suggested a Galaxy Watch Ultra (model SM-L716U) is coming. This will be a welcome change to the users who have been eager to replace the base Watch Ultra that was launched at the end of 2024. The Galaxy Watch 9 series is another product of Samsung that features in the 2026 roadmap. Although the exact release dates are not known, it is being filed that it will launch somewhere in 2026, most likely right at the end of summer, as it always does.
Former facebook company Meta is rumoured to restart smartwatch plans. According to the Information, the first watch by Meta is named Malibu 2, which may be launched later in 2026.
The device will be health tracking-oriented and will have an embedded Meta AI assistant. Should it come true, Apple will have an actual wrist competitor. There are no pictures or specifications yet, but the fact that Meta has been dormant recently suggests that a re-launched smartwatch will be along with its possible combination with a pair of Ray-Ban smart glasses will be the headline in the 2026 wearable.
A quick summary of wearable rumors:
- Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 – Rumored for 2026 (Samsung has filed it in the GSMA database). Expected to be a rugged, premium watch (successor to last year’s Ultra).
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 – Also spotted in filings. Likely a more mainstream update to the current Watch 8 line.
- Meta “Malibu 2” Smartwatch – Meta’s first smartwatch with Meta AI and health sensors, reportedly aiming for a 2026 release.
- Other Wearables – At MWC, brands like HMD (Nokia) often show off creative products (last year it was MagSafe Power Bank earbuds). Xiaomi, Tecno, and others usually bring new earphones, fitness bands or tablets. The main thing to watch is how AI continues to creep into these devices (like smarter health features).
Whether you’re an Android or an Apple fan, it looks like the wearables scene is heating up. I’ll be paying attention to any announcements from Samsung and even Meta, since those could change what we expect from smartwatches.
Tablets and Tablets: Clamshells and Slates.
Tablet and 2-in-1s should not be left behind. New iPads will also be announced immediately after the March 2 event by Apple, probably an Air or Mini with a more powerful chip on the March 3. It can also introduce new MacBooks in the lineup. March 3 is the date to remember in case you are searching a new iPad.
On Android, Samsung is developing a Tab S10 series. According to AndroidCentral, there are model numbers of a Galaxy Tab 12 Plus and Tab 12 Ultra. Such premium tablets are also expected to come with the latest Snapdragon chipset, and massive OLED displays, potentially in MWC or with the S26 phones.
Xiaomi tends to highlight tablets or Chromebooks at MWC. Although the information is limited, the corporation can introduce the international Xiaomi 17 phones and other ecosystem products. The Android Central booth should see a new Xiaomi Pad or laptop. Speaking of laptops…
Laptops and PCs Unveiled
Major PC makers emphasized AI as the major theme at CES 2026 at the beginning of January.
- HP EliteBook X G2 Series– HP revitalized its light EliteBook X. There are two models, which are a clamshell (X G2) and 2in1 flip (X Flip G2). One of them features the Snapdragon X2 Elite by Qualcomm, which sacrifices up to 85 TopS of neural processing, which is why it is the first business laptop in the world to have such a high level of AI on the device. It also supports as many as tandem OLED panels; the Intel-built model is shipped in February. In these notebooks, HP focuses on the AI performance and the battery life.
- Lenovo ThinkPad Concepts -Lenovo had two concepts. ThinkPad Rollable XD is a 13.3 inch laptop which is also capable of being extended to around 16.7 inch, indicating the capability of PC to feature a foldable screen. The chassis of the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 (Aura Edition) has a space frame architecture which enables components to be placed on both sides of the mother board, enhancing cooling and upgradability. It is released in this quarter at 1999 and it has AI capabilities like 10Mp wide-angle camera which automatically adjusts settings.
- Dell XPS 14/16 XPS14/16 Dell reintroduced its XPS with ultra-thin models: 14.6mm thick and under 3lb. They employ the Core Ultra Series 3 by Intel with an integrated Arc graphics and NPUs used to handle AI. Dell states that AI performance is enhanced by up to -60 percent compared to the last generation. Prices start around $2,049. There is speculation of the XPS 13 coming back in the year 2026.
- ASUS Zenbook and Vivobook 5 ASUS focused on thin, sleek Copilot+ laptops (Windows machines with built-in AI assist features). For instance, the Zenbook S14 is just 1.1 cm thin and weighs ~2.6 lbs. It uses an Intel Core Ultra CPU (50 TOPS of NPU performance) and a beautiful 14″ 3K OLED display. ASUS also showed a 16″ variant with a Snapdragon X2 Extreme chip that delivers 80 TOPS of AI performance. Other ASUS models include the dual-screen Zenbook Duo (14″+14″ OLED), a rugged ProArt GoPro Edition convertible for creators, and new Vivobook Copilot+ laptops. Across the board, ASUS’s 2026 PCs are thinner and more AI-ready than ever.
It is obvious that this year AI and sophisticated displays take up the major role in the themes of laptops. At CES, HP, Dell, Lenovo, and ASUS emphasized inbuilt AI chips and new form-factors. Most of these machines will enter the stores until March; others are already there. When you are buying a new laptop, consider Copilot+ or AI-PC with state-of-the-art chips.
Other Noteworthy Tech
- Tablets & Smart Displays– New Chromebooks or Android tablets with Lenovo, Acer, HP, and others. There has been an update of the Pixel Tablet by Google though no March update is known. Amazon can refresh Fire tablets in the remainder of the year. The trend is transforming any screen into a smart center; the smart displays or projectors will probably be updated to match phones.
- AR/ Glasses – It is believed that in the next 3 months, after March, Apple will release their rumored AR glasses or MR headset. Meta postponed its Project Aria glasses and Phoenix MR headset to 2027. Google AR team assured new smart glasses which will be coupled with android watches, but likely not during the current quarter. AR/VR space will become hotter in 2026, and no significant hardware appears in the current quarter, although software updates can be made.
- Audio and Accessories – Apple also announces new AirPods or Beats in spring, meaning that an AirPods Pro or new Beats headphones might come in March, but they are yet to be rumored. Samsung can re-launch its Galaxy Buds, but the information is limited. CES announcements are a good place to follow, new gaming headsets or earbuds with micro-ANC tend to be announced there.
- Emerging Tech: Concept products hint at the future. For example, at CES we saw things like a rollable PC (Lenovo) and a “mouse” with programmable buttons (ASUS ProArt accessories). These won’t matter immediately, but they show where things are going. I’ll be on the lookout for any headlines about next-gen batteries, chargers, or even advanced power banks (like that new 20K 45W power bank from Baseus, mentioned by NotebookCheck) since those can be very practical if you follow devices closely.
Conclusion
I hope this walkthrough of the top devices rumoured to be launched before March has you as excited as I am. The next few weeks could bring big announcements. For smartphones, we’ve got Samsung’s S26 flagships, Google’s Pixel 10a, Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra, Honor’s new foldables, and Nothing’s mid-rangers. In wearables, keep an eye out for Samsung’s new watches and possibly Meta’s Malibu smartwatch. On the laptop side, CES showed us a ton of AI-powered PCs from HP, Dell, Lenovo and ASUS that are about to hit the market.
In short, before March we’re looking at exciting upgrades across the board: faster phones, smarter watches, sleeker laptops, and maybe even groundbreaking new gadgets. I’ve tried to cover the ones I find most intriguing, and I’m betting at least a few of these will turn out to be real products by spring. As a reader, you’ll be very well informed (and maybe even a step ahead) on these devices.
Thank you for reading! I hope you feel educated and connected to the tech world now. Remember – keep your eyes peeled on our platforms for official announcements in the coming weeks. The future of tech is almost here, and I can’t wait to see it unfold – I’m sure you don’t want to miss it either!
