At the recently concluded Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung officially launched the highly anticipated Galaxy S26 series flagship smartphones. This new release not only focuses on hardware specifications but also elevates the concept of "AI phones" to a new level, introducing more than ten major AI function upgrades, aiming to provide users with a more convenient and efficient experience.

First, Samsung introduced the "Now Nudge" feature in this phone. When users use the Samsung Keyboard for input, this AI tool will proactively offer operation suggestions in the toolbar, helping users complete input tasks faster. Meanwhile, the upgraded "Now Brief" has enhanced contextual awareness, providing information at the most needed moments, simplifying the process of information retrieval.

In terms of imaging, the Galaxy S26 series is the first to extend the AI ISP (intelligent image signal processing) to the front camera, significantly improving image processing efficiency, making skin tones look more natural, and optimizing the performance under various lighting conditions. In addition, the new "Photo Assist" feature makes generative photo editing more flexible, allowing users to easily personalize edits through text prompts and editing history.

Samsung also upgraded its voice assistant, Bixby, enabling it to better understand natural language. Users can now easily adjust system settings through voice commands, eliminating the need for tedious manual operations. Additionally, the new "Call Screening" feature can answer and filter unknown calls, attempting to determine the caller's intent, helping users avoid unwanted calls.

Another notable new feature is "Agentic AI," which allows users to freely switch between multiple AI engines such as Gemini and Perplexity, greatly enriching the user experience. At the same time, the "Notification Highlights" feature can summarize long-text conversations and organize notifications by priority, making important information immediately visible.

Finally, the improved "Audio Eraser" tool is no longer limited to the gallery app; it can now remove background noise in any live stream, enhancing the audio quality experience. Overall, the AI feature enhancements of the Galaxy S26 series will provide users with a more intelligent and convenient experience.
