I’ve said it countless times before: Google makes the best AI tools and features around. When it debuted on the Pixel 10 Pro XL last fall, I was utterly blown away by the performance of Ask Photos — a tool that lets me tell the AI exactly what edits I want to make.
But now that the Galaxy S26 Ultra has arrived, it brings much-needed competition with a similar tool in its Photo Assist suite. Much like Google’s offering, Photo Assist leverages generative AI to perform complex edits. From swapping backgrounds to generating new objects to add to a scene, it does it all through a simple text prompt.
