Samsung Galaxy S26 just got a new tool to protect you from scam calls and texts — here's how it works

Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has finally landed, with Galaxy Unpacked revealing just about everything there is to know about the phone. Among the many features that Samsung has included on the three phones is something that originally debuted on Pixel phones last year: Scam Detection.

For those who don't know, this is a Gemini AI feature that can analyze calls and text messages in real time. If Gemini detects anything it deems fraudulent, you get alerted with a vibration and a warning chime. That way, you shouldn't miss the notification pointing out that someone could be potentially trying to scam you.
