The global unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10e is scheduled for February 20 (3 a.m. on the 21st in the Philippines). But when are they going to be official locally?

Today, we finally got the date of the Galaxy S10 series’ launch in the Philippines, thanks to a screenshot of an invite shared by a Facebook contact. The event will happen at Cove Manila on February 26, not far off from the phones’ worldwide debut.

That’s not all. To mark the important occasion, Samsung invited South Korean boy band iKON to perform at the party. Nope, this is not a drill.

You actually have a chance to snag one of those exclusive invites to the event. That is, if you own any one of these smartphones:

• Galaxy Note 9
• Galaxy S9+
• Galaxy S9
• Galaxy Note 8
• Galaxy S8+
• Galaxy S8
• Galaxy Note FE
• Galaxy S7 Edge
• Galaxy S7

You must join the raffle the company is holding until February 18 via the Samsung Members app. The complete mechanics can be seen here.
