Samsung Unveils Galaxy S26 Series and AI Innovations
At its Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 family — S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra — plus the Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro. The S26 Ultra is the flagship with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.9-inch QHD+ display, 5,000 mAh battery, S-Pen support and upgraded camera apertures; Samsung detailed per-model pricing. Samsung highlighted a new configurable "privacy display" for the Ultra and emphasized on-device AI: phones will ship with Bixby, Google Gemini and Perplexity assistants and include Galaxy AI features like call screening summaries. Google previewed an agentic version of Gemini and an enhanced "Circle to Search" multi-object recognition feature. Samsung also said it will preload Perplexity and integrate its APIs for assistant and browser functions.

Worldwide sales began on 7 August 2026 for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9. Galaxy AI features include 'Now Brief' (personalized information), 'Now Nudge' (actionable recommendations) and deeper integration with Google Gemini. Samsung positions the new devices — led by the Fold8 Ultra — to strengthen its lead in the growing foldable segment, while also using AI-driven personalization and device ecosystem lock-in as a premium differentiator. Price entry points range from €1,299 for the Flip8 to €2,199 for the Fold8 Ultra; smartwatches start at €409.
