A new Fortnite skin has been leaked, and it appears to be Samsung-themed. The leak called the skin "Iris", possibly naming it after the iris scanner on Samsung Galaxy phones, but there's no more information on the skin yet.
If the leak is correct, this won't be the first Samsung-exclusive skin to come into play. In September 2019, a Fortnite skin called "GLOW" was released for Samsung owners for free. It's unclear if Iris would also be free for Samsung customers, or if players would have to unlock it somehow in-game.

Samsung itself commented on the leak, saying the company "doesn't have any information about this skin" at this time. However, they encouraged players to tune into the Galaxy Unpacked stream on Tuesday, February 11, hinting that they might announce something about a new skin then.
I just checked and at the moment we don't have any information on this skin, which seems to be well done. 😉 I suggest watching the Galaxy Unpacked live stream on Tuesday, February 11. Maybe we'll announce something about a new skin, who knows.. ^ Bruce

This tweet somewhat implies that Fortnite's Galaxy-related news will be unveiled during Galaxy Unpacked, but whether this will confirm the iris skin or not is unclear. It's also possible that they mentioned the stream in the tweet to get more viewers, but a lack of Fortnite content will most likely lead to backlash from fans.
However, as there is no confirmation that Iris will be a Samsung exclusive, until the skin is actually released, this is all speculation. For now, fans can tune into Galaxy Unpacked on February 11 and wait for an official announcement.
