Audio Eraser^[1] on Galaxy devices reduces unnecessary noise in videos and amplifies desired sounds, enabling a more immersive viewing experience. First introduced for editing saved content on the Galaxy S25 Series, the feature has evolved significantly over the generations. Audio Eraser expanded to support playback adjustments within native apps — such as Gallery and Voice Recorder — on Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7.

Now, with the Galaxy S26 Series,^[2] it has reached new heights by supporting real-time audio control on content streamed across various platforms. In this article, we’ll dive deeper into these advancements.

From Fix it Later to Filter it Now

Starting with the Galaxy S26 Series, Audio Eraser has evolved into a live audio experience. It enables real-time sound separation and optimisation across voices, music and background noise, not only for recorded content but also for over-the-top (OTT) or social media content you are watching. This advancement shifts the focus from post-recording edits to real-time audio management.

By integrating an AI sound engine with advanced sound separation technology, the Galaxy S26 Series allows you to instantly adjust and control sound as it occurs. This ensures a clear, immersive listening experience across various streaming platforms by effectively neutralising distracting background noise.

The video below shows how the Galaxy S26 Series keeps the sounds you want to hear clear, even in noisy environments.

Seamless Access, Total Control

You can easily adjust noise and reduce distractions directly from the Quick panel without needing to rewind or replay content. While the video is playing, simply swipe down from the top right of the screen and tap the Audio Eraser icon to start filtering the sound right away.

Once activated, the feature offers advanced controls for a more professional touch. You can adjust the “Strength” slider to fine-tune noise reduction and enable “Voice Focus” to hear crystal-clear dialogue in the video.

With the Galaxy S26 Series, you can enjoy tailored sound quality in real-time, regardless of the content you’re watching.

Audio Eraser is no longer limited to reducing noise. It now allows you to easily design your sound in real time. Enjoy the more personalised and comfortable listening experience with the Galaxy S26 Series.

Results may vary by video depending on how sounds are present. Samsung Account login is required. Certain types of sound, such as voices, music and noise, can be detected.

The little tasks can add up quickly. Planning a trip with friends often means juggling multiple apps — checking your Calendar to avoid clashes, booking a car to the airport, reopening Notes to review the places you want to visit, keeping track of receipts, and staying up late to edit your photos until they’re ready to post.

 

Galaxy AI^[1] on the Galaxy S26 Series is designed to make those moments easier. By proactively working on your behalf, it cuts down on the steps needed, helping you get things done. It’s support that shows up at the right moment, so you can stay focused on the task at hand instead of bouncing between apps and managing every input.

 

What are the key Galaxy AI features on Galaxy S26 Series?

On the Galaxy S26 Series, Galaxy AI shows up across the tasks people deal with every day — making it simpler to plan, create, organise, share, and more. From context-aware suggestions that keep conversations moving to intuitive tools that help refine and organise visual content, Galaxy AI helps you stay in the flow.

 

Now Nudge^[2] adapts to what’s on your screen and what’s already on your device to proactively suggest helpful actions at just the right time. Texting a friend about plans for a night out? When a date comes up in the chat, the Galaxy S26 recognises it, shows what’s already on your calendar for that day, and offers to add the event, all without switching apps.

 

And when someone asks for photos from your trip to New York^[3], Now Nudge can automatically suggest relevant images from the Gallery, so you can share in seconds instead of searching through albums. It can even pull up saved info across your device, like a list of cool bars you jotted down in Samsung Notes — no need to dig through the relevant apps, Galaxy S26 takes care of the extra steps for you.

 

For step-by-step instructions on how to experience these Galaxy AI features, watch here:

 

 

The Galaxy S26 can take care of multi-step tasks behind the scenes, making everyday moments feel easier. Through natural interactions, Google Gemini can search and complete complex actions seamlessly across apps, such as looking up information on your next holiday destination and automatically adding it to Notes. It offers an early look at what agentic AI can do, completing routine tasks in the background so you can offload the busywork.

 

Galaxy cameras have always made it easy to capture fantastic photos. With the Galaxy S26, the upgraded Photo Assist and Creative Studio^[4] make editing and customising content just as seamless.

 

Photo Assist now supports natural language editing, allowing you to make edits by simply saying what you want to change, without technical terms, specialised tools, or editing expertise. Maybe you’re framing the perfect dinner shot, but your friend takes a bite before the photo happens. Ask to restore the missing bite, and Photo Assist fills it back in. Or if a landscape photo looks great but you want a moodier feel, ask to shift the scene from day to night. You can review changes as you go and jump back to any earlier stage whenever you want, making the process even easier.

 

 

Accessible from the Edge Panel, Creative Studio brings your ideas to life in one simple space, turning a sketch, photo, or prompt into polished visuals — like funny stickers for a group chat, or a wallpaper that reflects your style. Once you generate a result, you can keep editing or share it right away without switching tools, so your creative rhythm stays uninterrupted.

 

 

Galaxy AI also helps you stay organised and handle everyday documents with less hassle. Got paperwork that can’t wait? Document Scan is built right into the Camera app. Imagine you’re at a doctor’s office and a form needs to be filled out by a family member — you can scan it and send them a clean digital copy instantly. The Galaxy S26 recognises the document, removes distortions and distractions such as creases or even a finger in the corner. If there are multiple pages, they can be combined automatically into a single PDF, just like that.

Samsung Electronics today announced the global availability of the Galaxy S26 Series and the Galaxy Buds4 Series. As Samsung’s third generation of AI phones, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 deliver the most intuitive and proactive Galaxy AI^[1] experiences yet, helping users accomplish more with fewer steps. Following Galaxy Unpacked, the newly launched Galaxy S26 Series has generated exceptional early demand, with initial pre-order figures surpassing previous records and marking a double-digit increase. The premium Galaxy S26 Ultra has quickly become the standout model, selected by more than 70% of pre-order customers worldwide.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: Where Innovation Leads

Galaxy S26 Ultra brings together Samsung’s most advanced innovation in a single device – powerful performance, an industry-leading camera system, enhanced intuitive Galaxy AI and an innovative built-in Privacy Display^[2].

Privacy Display, which has drawn widespread praise since its unveiling, changes how privacy can be protected on a phone at a pixel level. Designed for everyday situations, hardware and software are working as one to protect privacy without compromising everyday viewing experiences.

Built for all-day performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers the most powerful performance on a Galaxy S Series yet, powered by a customised mobile processor — Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy^[3] — with significant gains^[4] across the CPU, GPU and NPU to support faster, smoother experiences that keep up throughout the day.

Galaxy S26 Ultra also features Samsung’s most intuitive and user-friendly AI experience to date. Features like Now Nudge^[5] provide proactive and relevant context-aware suggestions, while Now Brief^[6] surfaces timely reminders for important events. A choice of agents^[7] also help users to complete tasks easier with a single button press or voice prompt.

Galaxy S26 Ultra builds on Samsung’s industry-leading camera system, seamlessly integrating capture, editing and sharing into one intuitive workflow. Nightography video,^[8] keeps footage vibrant even in low light, and Super Steady, ^[9] which comes with a new horizontal lock option for greater stability, even during dynamic movement. Editing is just as easy and straight forward. With the upgraded Photo Assist,^[10] users can refine images and express their creativity by simply describing what they want in their own words, while Creative Studio^[11] empowers users to easily turn their ideas into polished visuals — from stickers and invitations to personalised wallpapers.

Galaxy Buds4 Series: Superior Hi-Fi Sound with Computationally Designed Fit

Users can enhance the capabilities of the Galaxy S26 with the new Galaxy Buds4 Series which integrated Samsung’s most advanced audio and wearability innovations together in one seamless experience. The Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 deliver superior hi-fi audio and everyday wearability to achieve the best listening experience across the Galaxy Buds Series to date. The Buds4 Series establishes a new iconic blade design with an engraved pinch control^[12] and ultra-sleek ergonomic fit, achieved by analysing hundreds of millions of global ear data points and running over 10,000 simulations^[13] to optimise for all-day wearability and comfort. Powerful hardware and software innovations on the Buds4 Pro such as a wider woofer and an enhanced Adaptive Equaliser and Active Noise Cancellation^[14] produce rich full-spectrum sound true to the original recording. With the integration of several AI agents^[15] and intuitive hands-free controls, the Buds4 Series becomes a natural companion to Galaxy S26, extending everyday experiences beyond the phone.

Starting 11 March, the Galaxy S26 Series will be available for purchase in Singapore. For details, please visit: https://news.samsung.com/sg/live-on-easy-mode-with-all-new-galaxy-s26-series-buds4-series-now-available-in-singapore

Marking the third-generation of Samsung’s Galaxy AI phone, the Galaxy S26 Series combines the most powerful performance in Galaxy S Series history with the most intuitive AI experience to date.

Samsung Newsroom got an early hands-on look at the Galaxy S26 Series during Galaxy Unpacked 2026.

▲ The Galaxy S26 Series (from left) Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26

Design: Sleeker and Lighter Than Ever

The Galaxy S26 Series makes a strong first impression with its refined, modern aesthetic, featuring a rounded curvature and cohesive colour palette that create a unified design identity across the line-up.

▲ The Galaxy S26 Series showcases a unified look. (From left) Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26

The slimmer, lighter build is equally notable. Galaxy S26 Ultra is 0.3 mm thinner than its predecessor and weighs 214 grams. Its slimmer profile enhances portability while maintaining a secure, comfortable grip.

▲ The Galaxy S26 Series comes in Cobalt Violet, Black, Sky Blue and White.

Display: Privacy From Every Angle

Debuting on Galaxy S26 Ultra, Privacy Display limits side-angle viewing without the need for a separate screen protector. The display remains clear from the front while restricting visibility from the sides to help shield on-screen content from nearby onlookers.

▲ Privacy Display is the result of more than five years of research and development, blocking views from the sides, above and below.

Users can also assign the Privacy Display to the side button’s double-press function for greater convenience. Even when viewed from the side, content stays concealed — making it especially useful on crowded public transportation or in elevators.

▲ Users can adjust the level of privacy protection in the settings and apply it selectively when entering a PIN, pattern or password, or when notification pop-ups appear.

Galaxy AI: Intuitive AI for Everyone

Galaxy AI stands out on the Galaxy S26 Series, combining enhanced contextual awareness with proactive suggestions to simplify everyday tasks.

The new Now Nudge feature reduces app switching by surfacing relevant information in context. When a friend asks about evening plans on messaging apps, Galaxy AI checks the calendar, detects conflicts and displays a tailored “Nudge” pop-up.

▲ Now Nudge presents timely information through context-aware icons.

A fan favourite since its debut on the Galaxy S24 Series, Circle to Search has evolved to support multi-element searches. Circling a celebrity’s outfit, for example, generates curated pieces to recreate the look.

The Galaxy S26 Series further expands its AI ecosystem with Bixby, Gemini and Perplexity. For example, users can use natural language commands to adjust settings, allowing them to effortlessly control their device even without knowing exact setting names or specific commands. Saying “My eyes feel tired,” for instance, prompts Bixby to suggest activating Eye comfort shield — eliminating the need to navigate complex menus. Together, these agents understand user intent and context to streamline daily routines, reducing steps and delivering a more seamless, efficient mobile experience.

▲ Bixby interprets user intent and instantly recommends relevant settings.

Camera: Pro-Level Capture, Powered by AI

The Galaxy S26 Series marks another leap in mobile photography. Powered by advanced AI, the device enables effortless capture and editing of high-quality content — no expertise required.

Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 200-megapixel (MP) wide-angle camera and a 50 MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom and 10x optical-quality zoom, complemented by a wider aperture for enhanced low-light clarity. With upgraded Nightography, even a recreated San Francisco nightscape inside the exhibition hall appeared vivid and detailed despite dim surroundings. The AI ISP (Image Signal Processor), previously used in the rear camera, also extends to the front camera, capturing fine details — from individual hair strands to eyebrows — while preserving natural skin tones.

▲ Enhanced Nightography ensures clear filming even in low-light settings. A view of the exhibition space (top) and a video taken with Galaxy S26 Ultra. (bottom).

Beyond capture, the Galaxy S26 Series expands creative possibilities. Powered by Galaxy AI, it provides an intuitive environment that turns ideas into finished results in moments.

The upgraded Photo Assist goes further — removing unwanted objects and naturally adding new elements. When prompted to restore a cake with a bite taken out, AI seamlessly reconstructs it as if untouched. The feature can also transform day into night or adjust wardrobe details to match the mood, enabling faster, more effortless editing.

▲ Photo Assist restores images using AI-powered editing.

With Creative Studio, edited photos can be turned into polished content. Users can simply type a prompt — such as “Please draw me a dog” — to generate a context-based sticker set, ready for use in messages or when editing photos. The feature also supports invitations, profile cards and wallpapers, expanding everyday creative possibilities in the future.

▲ Users can create images from simple text prompts and turn them into custom stickers with Creative Studio.

Starting with the Galaxy S24 Series, the Galaxy S Series has ushered in a new era of AI phones. With the Galaxy S26 Series, Samsung introduces its third-generation AI phone — delivering personalised experiences that go beyond intent recognition. Featuring the most powerful performance and the most intuitive Galaxy AI to date, the Galaxy S26 Series opens a new chapter in mobile innovation.

Samsung Electronics Singapore unveiled The Easy Mode Club, which will allow 126 Singaporeans to try the new Galaxy S26 Ultra in a fuss-free programme over 26 days.

The Easy Mode Club provides those curious about Galaxy the opportunity to try out Samsung’s newest AI phone, packed with advanced hardware and intuitive AI features that help users get through life’s demands on easy mode. This includes enhanced camera and Galaxy AI features that help users confidently create without the need for technical skills, secured by established layers of protection for Galaxy devices, from dedicated security hardware to ecosystem defenses.

Participants of The Easy Mode Club will be issued the Galaxy S26 Ultra to try over 26 days, with opportunities to participate in community events hosted by Samsung’s local #TeamGalaxy members. Sessions will include:

• Productivity hacks with Galaxy AI and partnering AI tools
• Capturing the best photos with ease, thanks to advanced camera tools
• Gaming effortlessly with Galaxy

“The Easy Mode Club is our way of reducing the friction for consumers who have been curious about Galaxy,” said Lynn Chong, Head of Marketing of Samsung Electronics Singapore. “We’ve come across many who are interested to find out what’s new in the market, but are hesitant to make the switch due to habit or familiarity. The Easy Mode Club presents an easy way for them to try something new, and out of their comfort zone, which we hope will help them uncover what we can offer to bring everyday productivity and creativity to the next level, effortlessly.”

How to participate

Interested participants can apply via www.samsung.com/sg/offer/easy-mode-club/. Selected participants will be notified by 9 March 2026 if they are selected for the programme.

_{^[1] Terms and conditions apply. Device returned to Samsung must fulfil set criteria listed.}

Mobile cameras are moving beyond capture alone and the latest Galaxy AI experiences bring advanced creative capabilities together in one intuitive place, unifying capture, editing, and sharing into a seamless experience. The result is a more fluid creative process – eliminating the need to switch between apps or navigate complex tools, so creativity feels faster, simpler, and more natural.

At the core of this evolution is the belief that creativity should not be limited by technical skill or experience. From shooting to editing, the phone camera has quietly redefined what’s possible. Now anyone can create cinematic movies, track stars across the night sky, or capture richly detailed photos – even in low light. And with natural, multimodal input, editing becomes as easy as using a few words to express what you have in mind.

Stay tuned for the easiest and most user-friendly Galaxy camera experience yet, unveiling next week.

Our phones are our most personal space, but we use them in the least private places. On the bus, in the elevator, and wherever we’re waiting in line, our digital laundry gets aired in plain view. And as phones become more tailored to our routines and preferences, concerns about privacy are only growing.

That’s why Samsung will soon unveil a new layer of privacy to shield your phone from shoulder surfing wherever you go. You’ll have the space to check your messages or enter a password on public transit without thinking twice about who might be watching.

Flexible Protection Built Over Years

Not everyone needs the same level of privacy. This new layer gives you the choice to decide what works best for you. You can customise it to raise your guard with specific apps, or when entering access details for more private areas of your phone. With multiple settings for adjusting visibility, you can limit what others can see based on the level of privacy protection you need.

You can also choose to protect specific parts of your experience, such as notification pop-ups. It’s a tailored approach that you can fine-tune or switch off entirely, rather than a blanket one.

It took over five years of engineering, testing and refining to get here. We studied how people use their phones, what they consider private, and how security should feel in everyday life. The result is a fusion of hardware and software expertly calibrated to protect you without getting in your way.

A New Standard for Mobile Privacy

This is the latest in a series of Galaxy innovations designed to keep you safe. There is no privacy without strong security. For more than a decade, Samsung Knox has established layers of protection for Galaxy devices, from dedicated security hardware like Knox Vault to ecosystem defences such as Knox Matrix. This latest safeguard builds on that commitment to security, introducing privacy at a pixel level.

This is privacy you can see and security you can feel — and it’s coming to Galaxy very soon. 

We have said farewell to 2025 and as we look ahead and welcome a new year, I am immensely proud of what our teams across Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) have achieved together so far. To Samsung, the SEAO region is more than a collection of markets; it is a strategic hub of innovation, defined by dynamic growth, cultural diversity, and rapid digital adoption. While commercial targets continued to be important last year, we were also focused on anchoring Samsung as a genuine, long-term partner in SEAO’s development.

To strengthen the fundamentals that we established in 2025, I would like to share three core strategic pillars that will continue to anchor our growth path in 2026: delivering breakthrough innovations, empowering the next generation, and driving transformation for our customers; all underpinned by our commitment to become a truly AI-driven company.

Delivering Breakthrough Innovation through an AI-Driven Future

At Samsung, we believe AI has fundamentally changed how we operate, innovate, and serve our customers. We have embraced a bold vision to be an AI-driven company and are already weaving AI meaningfully into our R&D, product development, operations and user experience.

We first introduced Galaxy AI to the world back in 2024 and we have reinforced our AI leadership in 2025 as we delivered an even broader vision of living with AI. In addition to democratisation, we are driving a new era of multi-modal intelligence. This means ensuring that our hardware and software evolve together, creating devices that do not just process commands, but function as intuitive companions.

At CES 2026, we announced our efforts to create a more unified and personal experience across mobile, visual display, home appliances, and services with our “Companion to AI Living” Vision.

What excited audiences at CES 2026 was how Samsung’s displays, such as the 130-inch Micro RGB, are merging hardware excellence and visual intelligence to create a true entertainment companion for homes. For instance, Samsung’s Vision AI Companion (VAC) uses AI technology to recommend what to watch and even what music to listen to.

Lastly, we introduced our long-term vision for intelligent care driven by Samsung’s integrated device ecosystem. I am truly excited about how we can redefine care from a reactive need to proactive opportunity. We will strive to promote healthier lives by delivering helpful features across AI, phones, appliances, wearables and other connected devices.

Empowering the Next Generation

What also continues to excite me is that the next generation in SEAO will not just be users of technology; they will be creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs who shape how these applications of AI serve their communities.

I believe that technology should serve as a bridge that enables everyone, regardless of background, to connect, create, and thrive. To fully unlock this potential, we have directed our corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts towards cultivating and investing in our youth, nurturing the next generation of talent.

Our flagship Solve for Tomorrow (SFT) program empowers young people to drive meaningful change through technology and innovation. In 2025, participation grew by 40% from 2024, with a total of more than 16,900 youth across the region developing solutions to address challenges in their communities. This growth highlights young people’s readiness to apply technology in practical and meaningful ways when given the tools and opportunities.

Last year, the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) actively bridged the regional skills gap by providing advanced information and communications technology (ICT), coding, and AI education across multiple SEAO markets. This approach mirrors our internal capability-building methodology: just as we train our employees through a structured GenAI curriculum, SIC provides youth with a similar roadmap for progression, enabling them to build foundational AI capabilities and progress to working with more complex applications.

These initiatives are more than CSR programs, but strategic investments we are making to contribute and build up the talent pipeline for our region’s AI-driven digital economy.

2026 is set to be a year where we build on this strong momentum with our CSR programs, as we aim to do even more with governments, corporations, schools, NGOs and community partners.

Driving Ecosystem Transformation

Finally, the foundation of a hyper-connected world fuelled by AI agents must be trust. At Samsung, security and privacy are at the heart of our strategy. This principle is increasingly critical as we enter an era of Agentic AI, where intelligent systems do not just respond to commands but anticipate needs and act autonomously on users’ behalf. The power of our “One Samsung” ecosystem ensures that intelligence extends seamlessly from mobile to the entire connected home via SmartThings, protected by Samsung Knox.

We also uphold this standard of trust at the enterprise level. Last year, Samsung Business Experience Studios (BES) were launched in markets including Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore. These spaces are designed to help organisations envision how they can adopt innovative Samsung solutions to meet their specific industry challenges. With additional studios set to roll out across Southeast Asia and Oceania, we look forward to more opportunities for collaboration as we partner with enterprises to implement smart and secure solutions for their businesses.

Shaping Our Future Together

My first year leading SEAO has been characterised by our efforts to innovate, empower youth, and transform ecosystems across industries, all anchored in our evolution as an AI leader.

While we are encouraged by what we have achieved so far, our work here is far from over. I invite all our partners, consumers, and regional leaders to continue this journey with us in 2026 and beyond. As we pursue our ambition to establish Samsung as the undisputed leader in AI, we will strive to ensure that AI serves everyone throughout everyday life.

Together, let us shape a future where technology does not just connect devices, but connects people, communities, and possibilities across our vibrant region.
