																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung has recently launched the new Galaxy S26 series – its most intuitive Galaxy AI phone yet. Consumer response has been stellar, with pre-orders moving quickly and excitement building around the device’s innovative features. As these cutting-edge devices begin arriving, it’s important to consider how you will care for it. The average phone upgrade cycle has increased from 2.4 years to a whopping 3.5 years globally<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>[1]</sup></a>, signalling a shift toward longer device ownership. In Singapore, while mobile phone upgrade cycles are one of the shortest globally – at 2.7 years<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> – that is plenty of time for the unpredictable to happen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That’s where Samsung Care+ comes in. Not only does it preserve the future resale value of your device, it provides peace of mind today and lasting value tomorrow. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Flexible Choices</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether users require unlimited out-of-warranty repair coverage (for drops, spills, mechanical breakdowns &amp; screen repairs etc.) with SC+ Premium, up to 2 out-of-warranty repairs over 2 years with SC+ Screen Care, or just screen protection with SC+ Screen Protect, there is a right product for everyone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users can further benefit from enhanced flexibility with monthly subscription option, exclusively available on Samsung.com/sg – stay protected for as long as you remain care subscribed to Samsung Care+.</p>
<p>Samsung Care+ includes unlimited repairs for drops, spills, mechanical breakdowns, and $0 cracked screen repairs under the SC+ Premium plan<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>[3]</sup></a>. For users prioritising long-term performance and reliability, Samsung Care+’s extended warranty provides confidence well beyond the standard warranty period.</p>

You can choose to do it online at <a href="https://rg2.samsungcareplus.com/sg">Samsung.com</a>, at a nearby <a href="https://www.samsung.com/sg/samsung-experience-store/locations/">Samsung Experience Store</a> or through your Galaxy device’s itself via the Settings menu.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once your Samsung Care+ plan is purchased, in addition to the added peace of mind, you’ll also enjoy convenience should your Galaxy smartphone or tablet require any professional attention with free device pick-up and drop-off, in addition to onsite repairs<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>[5]</sup></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And here’s something people often overlook until they are traveling: your device goes everywhere with you, so your protection should too.

Los Angeles. Barcelona. Wherever life takes you, Samsung Care+ is there for you.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On 25 February, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy S26 Series at Galaxy Unpacked 2026 in San Francisco.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom got an early hands-on look at the Galaxy S26 Series during Galaxy Unpacked 2026.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26034330/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="525" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy S26 Series (from left) Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Design: Sleeker and Lighter Than Ever</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26034345/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="556" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy S26 Series showcases a unified look. (From left) Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26034417/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy S26 Series comes in Cobalt Violet, Black, Sky Blue and White.</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Display: Privacy From Every Angle</strong></h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><video style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26031524/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main4.mp4" /></video></div>
<p>▲ Privacy Display is the result of more than five years of research and development, blocking views from the sides, above and below.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26031606/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main5.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ 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.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy AI: Intuitive AI for Everyone</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy AI stands out on the Galaxy S26 Series, combining enhanced contextual awareness with proactive suggestions to simplify everyday tasks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><video style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26031426/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main6.mp4" /></video></div>
<p>▲ Now Nudge presents timely information through context-aware icons.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><video style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26031740/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main7.mp4" /></video></div>
<p>▲ Bixby interprets user intent and instantly recommends relevant settings.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Camera: Pro</strong><strong>-Level Capture</strong><strong>, Powered by AI</strong></h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26034437/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main8-1.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><video style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26031825/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main8-2.mp4" /></video></div>
<p>▲ 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).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26034447/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main9.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="622" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Photo Assist restores images using AI-powered editing.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><video style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26032354/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main10.mp4" /></video></div>
<p>▲ Users can create images from simple text prompts and turn them into custom stickers with Creative Studio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy S26 Series, powered by the most intuitive, proactive and adaptive Galaxy AI<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> experiences yet and designed to simplify the tasks people do on their phones every day. From managing plans and finding information to capturing and refining content, Galaxy S26 reduces the effort and number of steps required to get things done. As Samsung’s third-generation AI Phones, Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra can handle complex tasks in the background, allowing users to focus on results rather than how the technology works.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S26 Series was engineered with Samsung’s most advanced capabilities working together as one: incredible performance, an intuitive camera system and Galaxy AI. This provides a strong foundation that gives Galaxy S26 users the confidence to depend on their phone throughout the day without compromising security or privacy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on Samsung&#8217;s decades of innovation in display technology, Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature Privacy Display to unlock a new class of display experiences, and reinforce Samsung&#8217;s commitment to privacy at a pixel level. Galaxy S26 Ultra also delivers a customised chipset and upgraded thermal management that enable faster and more powerful AI — all wrapped up in the slimmest Ultra yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these make the Galaxy S26 Series the most powerful Galaxy experience yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We believe AI should be something people can depend on every day, designed to work consistently for everyone and without the need for expertise,” said <strong>TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics.</strong> “With the Galaxy S26 Series, we focused on making AI feel effortless by designing it to complete tasks naturally, working quietly in the background so people can focus on what matters.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Across the region, we&#8217;ve seen widespread adoption of AI features, with 77 percent of all Galaxy users utilising Galaxy AI. This is extremely heartening to hear – a clear sign we are on the right track with our AI strategy and thus maintaining our leadership in the mobile AI era. The bedrock of that strategy is the democratisation of the technology, what we like to refer to as &#8216;AI for All&#8217;. With that rallying cry, we want to make Galaxy AI an everyday reality for everyone, turning it from not just a feature for the few, but an essential tool for all in Singapore. The new Galaxy S26 Series will make that dream come true,&#8221; said <strong>Ronnie Ng, Vice President, Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Singapore.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Powerful Performance Designed Around Everyday Use</strong></h3>
<p>Engineered for all-day performance, the Galaxy S26 Series is built on the most powerful hardware ever on a Galaxy S Series, powered by a customised chipset. Across the line-up, the Galaxy S26 Series is engineered for AI performance, power efficiency and thermal management, ensuring demanding tasks run smoothly and consistently, so users can rely on their device when it matters.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Galaxy S26 Ultra, a customised mobile processor — <strong>Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy</strong><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> — delivers the best performance ever in its class with significant gains across CPU, GPU, and NPU to support faster, smoother experiences that keep up throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A CPU performance increase of up to 19%<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> means Galaxy S26 Ultra responds more quickly and handle complex workloads intelligently, even when multiple tasks are running at once. A 39% improvement in NPU performance powers always-on Galaxy AI features that run seamlessly, allowing users to move between tasks without lag or interruption. A 24% boost in GPU performance delivers richer visuals and more fluid gameplay.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To sustain this level of performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces <strong>a redesigned Vapor Chamber</strong> with thermal interface material positioned along the sides of the processor, allowing heat to spread more efficiently across a larger surface area. This improves<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> heat dissipation to keep the device cool and consistent, even during demanding activities such as gaming, multitasking and video capture. To support all-day use, Galaxy S26 Ultra also brings <strong>Super-Fast Charging 3.0</strong>, minimising downtime by reaching up to 75% charge in just 30 minutes<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Embedded into the processor, Samsung’s proprietary technologies enhance visual performance. <strong>ProScaler</strong><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> improves image scaling so photos and videos appear richer and clearer at a glance by sharpening text and fine detail while smoothing textures. Additionally, <strong>Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) </strong>delivers more subtle and lifelike colours thanks to image processing with four times the precision compared to the previous generation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Taken together, these advancements deliver dependable all-day performance, making every action feel effortless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy’s Industry-Leading Camera System </strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy S26 Series brings the same focus on intuitive interaction to creativity and productivity, delivered through the best Galaxy camera system ever. With an approach that integrates capturing stunning photos and videos, editing and sharing into a single, seamless experience, creativity feels more natural and accessible even without professional tools or technical knowledge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Galaxy S26 Ultra, wider camera apertures<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> allow more light to reach the sensor, delivering clearer photos with richer details in low-light conditions, even when zoomed in. <strong>Enhanced Nightography Video<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a></strong> keeps footage clearer and more vibrant even in dim scenes, whether capturing concerts indoors or recording moments around a campfire after sunset. Video capture is further enhanced with<strong> upgraded Super Steady<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><sup>[9]</sup></span></a> </strong>capabilities, which adds a horizontal lock option for greater stability and to make consistent framing easier to achieve, even during fast-paced activities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra is the first Galaxy device to support <strong>APV</strong>, a new professional video standard and codec designed to deliver efficient compression for high-quality production workflows. For creators who care about quality, this means visually lossless video quality that stays true even after repeated editing.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Improvements to the <strong>AI ISP<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span><sup>[10]</sup></span></a></strong> now extend to the selfie camera, capturing more natural skin tones and finer detail in mixed lighting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Editing photos and videos is just as easy and straightforward, with AI-powered tools built into familiar workflows so users can make changes quickly and unlock their creativity without design expertise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>the upgraded Photo Assist</strong><a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span><sup>[11]</sup></span></a> suite, users can simply describe what they want to change in their own words. Changing the scene from day to night is just a matter of asking. It can also add to images and restore missing parts of objects like a bite taken out of a cake. Personal details, such as a spill on clothing, can also be cleaned up with Galaxy AI’s new ability to change outfits in photos. Edits can now be made continuously, reviewed step by step, and easily adjusted or undone along the way, making the process feel fluid rather than final.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_8432" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-8432" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main9.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="622" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main9.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main9-905x563.jpg 905w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2026-Galaxy-S26-Series-A-First-Look_main9-768x478.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">With the upgraded Photo Assist suite, users can simply describe what they want to change in their own words.</p></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p><strong>Creative Studio</strong><a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span><sup>[12]</sup></span></a> builds on this simplicity by bringing creation and customisation into one integrated space, making it easy to act on ideas when inspiration strikes. Starting from a sketch, photo or prompt, users can quickly turn ideas into polished visuals — from stickers and invitations to personalised wallpapers — and refine or share them without switching tools or interrupting creative flow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S26 Series also simplifies frequent visual tasks with AI-powered tools like the <strong>Document Scan</strong>, which removes distortions and distractions such as creases or fingers to deliver clean scans instantly. Multiple images can be organised automatically into a single PDF, making it easy to digitise receipts, forms or notes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Most Intuitive Galaxy AI Experience Yet </strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy S26 Series is designed to make frequently used experiences feel straightforward and user-friendly, with Galaxy AI reducing the steps between intent and action. It works more proactively and seamlessly on the user’s behalf based on context, surfacing the right support at the right moment and automating tasks with minimal manual input. As the technology fades and handles tasks in the background, users can focus on the results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>Now Nudge<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span><sup>[13]</sup></span></a></strong>, timely and relevant suggestions help users stay in the flow without being distracted. If a friend asks for photos from a recent trip, Galaxy S26 automatically suggests photos from the Gallery, removing the need to search through albums or switch between apps. When receiving a message about a meeting, Galaxy S26 can recognise related Calendar entries and check for conflicts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p>On the Galaxy S26 Series, <strong>Now Brief</strong><a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span><sup>[14]</sup></span></a> has become more proactive and personalised<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span><sup>[15]</sup></span></a>. It surfaces timely reminders for important events – from reservations to travel updates – based on personal context. Helping users stay organised throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Searching for information is also easier than ever. <strong>Circle to Search with Google<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span><sup>[16]</sup></span></a></strong> on the Galaxy S26 Series has been upgraded with enhanced multi-object recognition, so users can now explore more deeply on multiple parts of an image at once. If users spot a look they love, the feature also identifies everything from the jacket to the shoes, all in one search.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 series features <strong>an upgraded </strong><strong>Bixby</strong><a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span><sup>[17]</sup></span></a> as a conversational device agent, making it more intuitive and easier than ever to interact with Galaxy devices. Users can navigate their devices and adjust settings using natural language, without the need for exact terminology or commands.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside Bixby, Galaxy S26 Series integrates a choice of agents, including Gemini and Perplexity. Once set up, tasks can be completed with a single button press or voice prompt. Galaxy S26 can also handle multi-step tasks in the background, streamlining the process on the user’s behalf. For example, with Gemini, booking a taxi<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><span><sup>[18]</sup></span></a> is as simple as asking, reviewing the details and tapping confirm. These agents support tasks such as searching and carrying out complex tasks seamlessly across apps through natural interaction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these proactive, personalised and adaptive experiences lay the foundation for more agentic AI experiences – setting the stage for Galaxy devices to become trusted companions that understand and anticipate user needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Layers of Protection in the Age of AI</strong></h3>
<p>As mobile experiences become more personalised thanks to AI, <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/your-privacy-secured-how-galaxy-ai-empowers-you-to-take-control-of-your-data">protecting user privacy</a></span> becomes even more critical. Samsung builds protection into every layer of Galaxy S26, keeping personal data secure while giving users transparency and control over how their information is used.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces privacy at the pixel level with the built-in <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/coming-soon-a-new-layer-of-privacy">Privacy Display</a></span><a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><sup>[19]</sup></a>on mobile, a breakthrough in display technology that fundamentally changes how privacy can be protected on a phone. Designed for everyday situations like transit, cafés and shared environments, Privacy Display goes beyond anything previously available on mobile devices — hardware and software working as one to protect privacy without compromising the viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra&#8217;s built-in Privacy Display keeps the screen clear and comfortable for the user while limiting visibility from side angles.&nbsp;</p>
<p>By controlling how pixels disperse light, the display keeps content clear, bright and comfortable for the user in everyday use, while limiting what others can see. Unlike traditional stick-on privacy films, Galaxy’s integrated Privacy Display preserves full viewing quality from all directions when off, and limits visibility for others from side viewing angles when activated, even when switching between portrait and landscape orientation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users can customise when it turns on — such as when entering PINs and passwords or opening selected apps — and adjust privacy levels depending on the situation. <strong>Partial Screen Privacy</strong> intelligently limits visibility for notification pop-ups, while <strong>Maximum Privacy Protection</strong> further obscures side views for added discretion, all with minimal impact on power or usability.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_8433" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-8433 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/016-lifesytle-galaxy-s26ultra-cobaltviolet-privacy-display-trambooth-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="768" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/016-lifesytle-galaxy-s26ultra-cobaltviolet-privacy-display-trambooth-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/016-lifesytle-galaxy-s26ultra-cobaltviolet-privacy-display-trambooth-1-751x563.jpg 751w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/016-lifesytle-galaxy-s26ultra-cobaltviolet-privacy-display-trambooth-1-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Galaxy S26 Ultra&#8217;s Partial Screen Privacy intelligently limits visibility of notification pop-ups from prying eyes.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S26 Series also brings smarter software safeguards that work quietly in the background. AI-powered <strong>Call Screening<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><sup>[20]</sup></a></strong> identifies unknown callers and summarises intent, making it easier to safely manage calls. <strong>Privacy Alerts</strong> use machine learning to proactively notify users in real time when apps with device admin privileges unnecessarily attempt to access sensitive data, such as precise location, call logs or contacts. These alerts help users quickly understand when apps are seeking deeper access, so they can manage permissions with greater clarity and control.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Private Album</strong>, built directly into Gallery, lets users easily hide selected photos and videos without creating a separate folder or signing into a Samsung Account. To stay ahead of emerging threats, Galaxy S26 also extends Samsung’s innovation in <span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences">post-quantum cryptography</a></span> (PQC) to critical system processes, including software verification and firmware protection, strengthening device integrity for the future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New updates to <span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences">Knox Matrix</a></span> further strengthen protection across connected Galaxy devices, adding PQC-enabled end-to-end encryption for direct transfers like eSIM migrations and clearer visibility into firmware update status across the ecosystem through <strong>Security Status of Your Devices</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These experiences are supported by Samsung Knox, the multi-layer security platform that protects Galaxy devices from the chip level up. For on-device Galaxy AI, <span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/your-privacy-secured-inside-the-tech-powering-safe-personalized-galaxy-ai-experiences">Personal Data Engine (PDE)</a></span> enables context-aware, personalised AI experiences. To keep this process safe, <span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences">Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP)</a></span> encrypts each app’s data, while <span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/your-privacy-secured-how-knox-vault-protects-you-in-the-era-of-ai">Knox Vault</a></span> adds a physical layer of protection that isolates sensitive data inside its own secure hardware. Together with settings that let users choose how AI features operate, Galaxy S26 combines hardware and software to deliver a comprehensive, system-wide approach designed to keep personal data protected.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These updates build on Galaxy’s existing security and privacy portfolio which includes Auto Blocker, Theft Protection, Private Sharing, Secure Wi-Fi and more. These layers of protection are designed to give users greater transparency, choice and control through Samsung’s continued mobile security innovation in the age of AI. And with seven years of security updates, Galaxy S26 helps keep these layers resilient over time – supporting longer, more confident use well into the years ahead.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26’s ease of use continues even when the phone is out of reach. The new Galaxy Buds4 Series is a natural companion to Galaxy S26, extending everyday experiences beyond the phone while delivering rich and immersive hi-fi sound. When Galaxy S26 is paired with Galaxy Buds4, interactions can continue naturally in moments when using hands isn’t practical. Users can activate AI agents<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><sup>[21]</sup></a> with their voices, manage calls through simple Head Gestures<a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><sup>[22]</sup></a> on Buds4 Pro, and stay connected without breaking their flow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
