The Galaxy S26 brings powerful performance, an advanced camera system, and the most intuitive Galaxy AI yet together to make everyday life easier, faster, and more personal.
Whether you’re capturing moments, staying productive, or simply moving through your day, Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are built to keep up – and stay one step ahead.
From built-in privacy features to tools that help your device perform at its best, there’s more to your Galaxy experience than meets the eye. With Samsung Care, you have the trusted support and guidance to protect, personalize and get more out of your device.
Here are seven Things to Know to help you protect your device and make the most of your Galaxy experience.
1. Take Control of Your Privacy With Privacy Display
Whether you’re commuting, traveling or working in public, protecting what’s on your screen matters. Privacy Display1 on Galaxy S26 Ultra keeps sensitive information visible only to you – clear when viewed straight on, and less visible when viewed from side angles. You can turn it on in Quick Panel or set it to activate automatically when it matters most – like when entering PINs, patterns or passwords. You can also enable it for specific apps or boost protection further with Maximum Privacy Protection.

2. Stay Protected From Unwanted Scam Calls With Call Screening
Use Call Screening2 on the Galaxy S26 series to filter calls without having to answer them yourself. With Galaxy AI working as your call assistant, you can screen unknown numbers before deciding whether to answer.
When a call comes in, Galaxy AI3 can ask the caller to state their name and reason for calling – with a live transcription displayed on your screen so you can decide to answer, decline, or respond with a quick text. You can also set up your Galaxy S26 to automatically screen calls from unfamiliar numbers, helping ensure only the calls that matter get through.

3. Get Creative With Galaxy AI Using Creative Studio
Use Creative Studio on the Galaxy S26 series to transform your photos and bring new ideas to life. Powered by Galaxy AI, you can generate brand-new images from a simple description, reimagine photos in your Gallery or design personalized stickers and wallpapers.
Choose a style, enter a prompt and let Galaxy AI do the rest – then refine, compare, and perfect your creation in just a few taps. You can also turn your favorite images into custom sticker sets or enhance photos with text and design elements, all within one intuitive experience.
