<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="768" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Galaxy-S26-Series-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-23652" style="width:1000px" /></figure>



<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it is now offering the Galaxy S26 series — Samsung’s third-generation AI phones — as part of its Samsung Certified Re-Newed (CRN) programme. Backed by Samsung’s trusted certification, Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra are now more accessible to consumers at an affordable price, with trusted performance, quality and warranty.</p>



<p>The Galaxy S26 Ultra features the most powerful hardware ever on a Galaxy S series device, an industry-leading camera system and the most intuitive, proactive and adaptive Galaxy AI experiences. It also introduces a built-in Privacy Display, which keeps content clear for the user while limiting what others can see.<sup data-fn="53498c98-6a5f-4e5b-ac97-530f7afcfe03" class="fn"><a href="#53498c98-6a5f-4e5b-ac97-530f7afcfe03" id="53498c98-6a5f-4e5b-ac97-530f7afcfe03-link">1</a></sup></p>



<p>The Galaxy S26 and S26+ also bring premium flagship experiences to a broader audience, combining advanced AI capabilities and camera performance in a refined design. With seven generations of OS upgrades and security updates, the Galaxy S26 series delivers long lasting performance and durability consumers expect — making premium technology more accessible without compromise.</p>



<p>Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra Certified Re-Newed undergo an in-house expert inspection and refurbishment process, which includes rigorous cleaning and quality tests. Each device is reconditioned to look and perform to Samsung’s high standards using genuine Samsung parts<sup data-fn="521583b2-4325-4b52-8da5-852c32f157b2" class="fn"><a href="#521583b2-4325-4b52-8da5-852c32f157b2" id="521583b2-4325-4b52-8da5-852c32f157b2-link">2</a></sup>. During the restoration process, all devices are reset to delete personal data and ensure they are sold in a condition equivalent to that of a brand-new device.<sup data-fn="5e0f2457-c4ef-4b55-9eed-22b6d4f5596d" class="fn"><a href="#5e0f2457-c4ef-4b55-9eed-22b6d4f5596d" id="5e0f2457-c4ef-4b55-9eed-22b6d4f5596d-link">3</a></sup></p>



<p>Certified Re-Newed devices come with the same warranty as new Galaxy devices<sup data-fn="538f4fba-56cb-44cb-a55a-a1af9b9402a5" class="fn"><a href="#538f4fba-56cb-44cb-a55a-a1af9b9402a5" id="538f4fba-56cb-44cb-a55a-a1af9b9402a5-link">4</a></sup> and updated with the latest software to ensure security and long-term usability, giving customers added peace of mind.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Availability</strong></h2>



<p>Starting today, Galaxy S26 Certified Re-Newed, Galaxy S26+ Certified Re-Newed and Galaxy S26 Ultra Certified Re-Newed will be available on <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/certified-re-newed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Samsung.com</a>.</p>



<p>Available in both Black and Cobalt Violet, all Samsung Certified Re-Newed smartphones come with a 2-year warranty, just like Samsung’s brand-new smartphones:</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the One UI 9 beta program, launching this week beginning with the Galaxy S26 series. Built on the new Android 17, One UI 9 beta delivers expanded creative tools, customisation options, a more accessible mobile experience and stronger protection against potential security threats.</p>
<p>The full experience of One UI 9 will be introduced with upcoming Galaxy flagship devices later this year, which will include advanced AI features that will make mobile interaction easy and effortless.</p>
<h3>What’s New in One UI 9 Beta</h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24498" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-Mobile-One-UI-9-Beta-Galaxy-S26-series_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="560" /></p>
<p>One UI 9 beta introduces several updates across key areas of the mobile experience.</p>
<p>Samsung Notes<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> gains creative new tools, including decorative tapes and a wider variety of pen line styles. Meanwhile, the Contacts app now offers direct access to Creative Studio<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> for creating personalised profile cards without the need to switch between apps.</p>
<p>The updated Quick Panel<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a> gives users greater control over its layout. Brightness, sound and media player are each independently adjustable, with more size options to suit individual preferences.</p>
<p>Accessibility is significantly improved by an adjustable Mouse Key speed that enables smoother cursor control and a combined TalkBack package that brings together features previously offered separately by Google and Samsung. The new Text Spotlight feature — which displays selected text larger or more clearly in a floating window — has also been added to make reading easier.</p>
<p>One UI 9 also introduces enhanced protection against suspicious apps and potential threats: when new high-risk apps are detected, it now warns users, blocks execution and installation, and recommends deletion through security policy updates<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a>.</p>
<h3>Availability</h3>
<p>The One UI 9 beta program will be available to Galaxy S26 series users in select markets, including the U.K. starting this week. Galaxy S26 series users can apply to join the beta program via the Samsung Members app.</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small"><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Service availability may vary by region/country, OS/One UI version, device model and phone carrier.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small"><a href="#_ednref2" name="_edn2"><span>[2]</span></a> Requires Creative Studio app installation. Creative Studio feature requires a network connection and Samsung Account login. Service availability may vary by country, language or device model. The accuracy and reliability of the generated output is not guaranteed. Sticker can only be shared with other Galaxy devices.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small"><a href="#_ednref3" name="_edn3"><span>[3]</span></a> Certain settings might be greyed out or will not appear if the feature is turned off.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small"><a href="#_ednref4" name="_edn1"><span>[4]</span></a> Samsung’s security policy updates are designed to improve device security through service operation policy changes and may include updates to list of potential high-risk apps according to Samsung’s internal assessment.</span></em></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beyond high resolution, video trends are shifting toward mood and emotional storytelling. Samsung Electronics debuted the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/interview-beyond-the-shot-how-the-apv-codec-powers-the-full-mobile-video-experience-on-galaxy-s26-ultra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec</a></span> on Galaxy S26 Ultra, laying the groundwork for mobile video production while maintaining image quality and minimising loss during editing.</p>
<p>In response, Samsung asked a simple question — can anyone create Hollywood-style videos on a Galaxy mobile phone? The answer is the Cinematic Look-Up Table (Cine LUT) feature on the Galaxy S26 series. While the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/editorial-how-apv-is-elevating-mobile-video-to-professional-standards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">APV codec</a></span> provides the foundation for cinema-quality video, Cine LUT brings a distinct colour style to the footage.</p>
<p>Cine LUT makes professional-level colour grading — once reserved for experts — accessible to anyone. Samsung collaborated with internal teams and external specialists to bring the feature to life. The Mobile eXperience (MX) Business led final camera implementation, Samsung Research developed core video processing technologies and U5K Imageworks — a colourist studio behind globally recognised productions — helped shape its visual aesthetic.</p>
<p>Following the introduction of the APV codec, which delivers a visually lossless level of image quality, Samsung Newsroom spoke with three key developers behind Cine LUT — Sugon Baek of the Camera Image Quality R&D Group at the MX Business, Bomi Kim of the Reality Media Lab at Samsung Research and Taesik Eom, CEO of U5K Imageworks — to hear the story of its creation.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_24426" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-24426" class="wp-image-24426 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/04.From-left-Bomi-Kim-of-the-Reality-Media-Lab-at-Samsung-Research-and-Sugon-Baek-of-the-Camera-Image-Quality-RD-Group-at-MX-.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="580" /><p id="caption-attachment-24426" class="wp-caption-text">▲ (From left) Taesik Eom, Bomi Kim and Sugon Baek</p></div></p>
<h3>Q. What is a LUT? What sets Cine LUT on the Galaxy S26 series apart?</h3>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> A LUT is essentially a “map” that transforms one set of colours into a desired look. Unlike conventional filters that simply overlay colour, Cine LUT reinterprets Samsung Log<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> footage to deliver the depth and look of professional filmmaking.</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> It’s optimised for Log video. By leveraging its wide gradation,<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> the feature precisely reconstructs colour and brightness to preserve subtle tonal details often lost with conventional filters for richer, more natural depth.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3>Q. What challenges did you face during development?</h3>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> We needed a large data set to validate performance across diverse conditions. Testing in real-world environments — from natural and indoor lighting to day and night — and close collaboration were key to capturing the nuances of colour.</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> Maintaining consistent, undistorted colour in different environments was challenging. Through continuous testing, we developed a LUT that balances subjective preference with objective quality.</p>
<h3>Q. What was the key consideration in creating looks optimised for mobile phones?</h3>
<p><strong>Eom:</strong> Ensuring reliable performance in real-world conditions was key. Since lighting, exposure and white balance constantly vary, we focused on creating looks that remain natural in any situation.</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> Quality was our top priority. We analysed each frame and validated performance using tools like colour charts, gray balance and vector scopes.</p>
<h3>Q. Why were these four styles chosen for the Galaxy S26 series?</h3>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We analysed the visual language of popular film genres and identified four representative styles. From the high-contrast Blockbuster to the fresh Coming-of-age, warm Romance and moody Thriller, each colour palette was designed to give everyday scenes an instant cinematic look.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">▲ Comparison of Log footage in standard settings and with the Coming-of-age LUT and Romance LUT</p>
<h3>Q. What led to the development of Cine LUT?</h3>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> While Galaxy devices supported Log video for high-quality capture, colour grading remained challenging for users. We aimed to make professional-looking results accessible without advanced editing skills.</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We wanted to create an experience that lets users preview cinematic footage at the moment of capture, then apply a LUT and share the video with a single tap in the Gallery.</p>

<h3>Q. How did the collaboration with U5K Imageworks begin? How was Cine LUT developed?</h3>
<p><strong>Eom:</strong> Our collaboration began two years ago with Rec. 709 LUT advisory work for Samsung Log video, where we refined strong colours into more natural tones — an experience that led to Cine LUT. For this project, we developed multiple versions across three intensity levels — neutral, soft and strong — and tested them in diverse scenes, ultimately selecting four core styles.</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> Building on U5K’s colour direction, we validated the concepts against quantitative criteria to ensure consistent performance in different environments, refining them through testing until creative intent and technical quality aligned.</p>
<p><div style="width: 1564px" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-24418-3" width="1564" height="720" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/202605070905.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/202605070905.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/202605070905.mp4</a></video></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center">▲ Users can preview Cine LUTs when shooting in Log and easily apply them to recorded footage using editing tools.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Q. Which Cine LUT styles do you recommend for different situations?</h3>
<p><strong>Eom:</strong> There’s no fixed answer — it depends on the situation. Blockbuster suits high-contrast environments like outdoor and urban scenes; Coming-of-age fits soft, trendy settings like cafes or vlogs; Romance adds warmth to character-driven scenes; and Thriller creates a more striking impression.</p>
<h3>Q. What stood out to you in user feedback?</h3>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We expected it might be seen as just another video effect, but the response exceeded expectations. Users quickly recognised that combining Log shooting with Cine LUTs expands creative possibilities beyond simple filters. We’re also seeing more users choose styles based on the scene, with high-quality videos widely shared on social media — and even inspiring new ways to create content.</p>
<h3>Q. What are your plans for the future?</h3>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We aim to further establish the Galaxy S26 series as a professional-grade camera. We hope to see more content that resonates with both creators and viewers and will continue to set new standards in video creation.</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> As the world changes rapidly, our goal is to identify next-generation technologies. Through close collaboration with business divisions, we will work to bring them into products and deliver innovative experiences to users around the world.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that its “Coral in Focus” initiative, powered by <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-deepens-its-commitment-to-the-worlds-oceans-by-leveraging-galaxy-technology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ocean Mode</a></span><a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a>, an advanced camera feature on the newer Galaxy mobile phones, has received multiple awards for its contributions to coral reef conservation, including Gold in the “Best Sustainability or Conservation Initiative” category at <span><a href="https://engageforgood.com/halo-awards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Engage for Good’s 2026 Halo Awards</a></span>.</p>
<p>Additionally, “Coral in Focus,” a documentary tied to the initiative, received the Coastal and Island Culture Award at the <span><a href="https://intloceanfilmfest.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">23rd International Ocean Film Festival</a></span><span>.</span> Samsung was separately named on <span><a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/most-innovative-companies/list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fast Company’s 2026 Most Innovative Companies list</a></span> for its work advancing mobile innovation in environmental research.</p>
<p>These recognitions reflect the impact of Samsung’s efforts to reverse the decline of coral reefs in partnership with U.S.-based nonprofit organisation Seatrees and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. By bringing together Galaxy’s advanced image capturing capabilities, Seatrees’ community-driven restoration model and Scripps’ knowledge on marine science, Samsung is transforming Galaxy mobile phones into powerful tools for ocean conservation.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_24317" style="width: 1268px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-24317" class="wp-image-24317 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Image-1.jpg" alt="" width="1258" height="943" /><p id="caption-attachment-24317" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Photo captured with a Galaxy S26 Ultra equipped with Ocean Mode</p></div></p>
<p>Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor yet support approximately 25% of all marine life and sustain millions of livelihoods worldwide<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a>. Without intervention, many reefs are at risk of disappearing by 2050 due to climate change, pollution and overfishing.</p>
<p>To help address this challenge, Samsung collaborated with Seatrees and Scripps to advance coral reef restoration across a growing network of sites in Costa Rica, Fiji, the Galápagos Islands, Indonesia and the United States.</p>
<p>Through the <span><a href="https://seatrees.org/pages/samsung" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Samsung x Seatrees: Bring Coral in Focus” initiative</a></span>, partners and local communities are given Ocean Mode-equipped Galaxy devices and underwater housings to capture high-quality underwater imagery with Ocean Mode, which is then used to generate detailed 3D photogrammetric models. This process improves how coral reefs are monitored and evaluated, resulting in critical insight into reef health and recovery.</p>
<p>Together, Samsung, Seatrees and Scripps have driven meaningful impact across restoration sites. To date, <span><a href="https://seatrees.org/pages/samsung#:~:text=Partnership%20Impact%20Metrics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 20,000 coral fragments have been planted, and over 80 3D reef models have been built to</a></span> support monitoring and research efforts.</p>
