A more intelligent Android on Samsung Galaxy S26
Summary
Samsung and Google are integrating advanced Google AI, specifically Gemini models, into the Samsung Galaxy S26 series to evolve Android into an intelligent system. New features include the ability to offload multi-step tasks, like booking rides or ordering food, to Gemini via a long press of the side button, initially available as a beta in the US and Korea. Furthermore, Circle to Search is enhanced with multi-object image recognition, allowing users to search for entire aesthetics or virtually try on clothing items. For security, on-device Gemini models power proactive Scam Detection directly within the Phone app, providing instant audio and haptic alerts for potential scams without sending conversation audio to Google. These updates, launching with the Galaxy S26 series, represent the initial phase of a new era of mobile intelligence.
