The wait is over. After months of leaks and teasers, Samsung has officially unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra at its Galaxy Unpacked event, ushering in what it calls the era of the “AI phone”.

Galaxy AI now sits front and centre across the Galaxy S26 family. The S26 line-up can automatically sort and label your screenshots, trawl through messages and documents using plain, conversational language, and nudge you when it’s time to leave for an appointment based on your diary. It’ll even handle calls in smarter ways, offering live captions or converting typed replies into spoken responses on your behalf.
