You are texting a friend about your most recent holiday and they ask if you took any photos. The Samsung Galaxy S26 then surfaces a notification asking if you’d like to share some, based on the most recent, relevant images in your photo gallery.

For years, this kind of intelligent assistance existed in science fiction – embodied by fictional AI assistants like J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man films. Today, this technology is no longer confined to books and films – it is here in the Samsung Galaxy S26.

The latest AI phone to come from Samsung, the Galaxy S26 is built around agentic AI. It understands intent, coordinates across apps and takes action with minimal instruction. Instead of tapping and trying to navigate menus, you tell the phone what you need and it completes the necessary steps.

The game has now shifted to outcomes and not actions. Imagine the difference between how you would search for information on a chatbot versus a conventional Google search.

And all this is housed in a slim, lightweight aluminium body that is also exceptionally powerful. The Galaxy S26 series is available in three models – Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra – each built around the same agentic AI foundation. In the case of Galaxy S26 Ultra, AI-related tasks see performance boosted by up to 39 per cent, reducing lag when generating content or coordinating actions across apps.

These capabilities are powered by agentic AI, a next-gen technology that understands your goals and carries out actions across multiple tasks. This is enabled by Samsung’s integration across a host of first- and third-party apps.
