Is There a Class Action Against Samsung in 2026?
Updated July 9, 2026 · By Class Action Buddy
Short answer: Yes. Samsung faces ongoing biometric-privacy litigation in Illinois over facial-geometry data allegedly collected from photos on Galaxy phones, under the state's Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). The claims are working through arbitration and appeals — no settlement is open to file yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I'm part of a class action against Samsung?
If you receive a settlement notice by email or letter from a court-appointed administrator, read it for the class definition. For most consumer cases, anyone who was a Samsung customer during the specified class period automatically qualifies — no sign-up needed.
Is there a Samsung settlement I can claim right now?
Not right now — the current Samsung cases are still in active litigation, so there is nothing to file yet. Sign up for Class Action Buddy and you'll get a push notification the moment a Samsung settlement opens that you qualify for.
Do I need a lawyer to join a Samsung class action?
No. Class actions are built so any qualifying class member can file a claim directly with the settlement administrator. The class is already represented by the named plaintiffs' attorneys — you just submit the claim form.
