Following the Gemini automation announcement today, Google is detailing how all this works under the hood on Android.

The Galaxy S26 looks and feels pretty similar to previous phones in the series, so if you’re upgrading this year, Spigen’s complete ecosystem of accessories will make your phone feel truly new on day one.

With nearly 20 years of industry leadership, Spigen has built a case and MagFit ecosystem trusted by millions worldwide, solidifying its position as the go-to brand for Galaxy.

Motorola has done well with its flip phone Razr series in recent years, but the company revealed at CES 2026 last month that it would enter the book-style category with the Razr Fold due out later this year. It looks promising, and apparently we’ll be getting more details at MWC 2026 next week.

Last October, Google announced Gemini Enterprise for business users, and the mobile apps are now available. Meanwhile, @Google Chat is now available in the Gemini app for Workspace users.

The overall design of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is mostly familiar, but some subtle tweaks such as rounding the corners really make for a nice hardware upgrade.

Google’s Sameer Samat took the stage at Galaxy Unpacked today and teased “amazing things” coming to Android 17.

Starting on Google Pixel and extending to Samsung Galaxy with last year’s Galaxy S25 series, “Audio Eraser” features have proven pretty handy for recording videos. Starting with the Galaxy S26, Samsung is expanding Audio Eraser beyond recording, and applying it in real-time to videos from YouTube and other apps on your smartphone.

At Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked, Google announced Scam Detection updates for calls and its Messages app.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series has arrived and, as per usual, the pre-order period is the best time to buy these phones.

Besides Gemini automation, Google today announced the latest Circle to Search features for the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10.

The Galaxy S26 series is official, and as always, there are certain places to order the new phones before they become publicly available. This quick guide will direct you to the best deal, even though two of the three phones are slightly more expensive.

The Galaxy S26 trio is finally here, and with it comes One UI 8.5. Samsung might be waiting until the summer to roll out its next big shake-up for its version of Android, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t seeing some new visual elements in this mid-cycle release. As we’ve come to expect, at least one element on the S26’s software is ripped right from Samsung’s closest rival.

The Galaxy S26 lineup is a pretty familiar upgrade, which means Samsung is once again calling on its AI platform to make these devices stand out from the pack. This year’s big difference is an actual vision for what Galaxy AI should be aiming to accomplish — though whether that holds up in practice remains to be seen.

Smartphones have felt somewhat stagnant over the past several years, with truly “new” features being fairly rare. There’s plenty of innovation in software, but on the hardware front, you’re largely just looking at refinement and improvement of what’s been around for ages. While Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series might be one of the biggest offenders ever of leaning on refinement, the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers one of the first truly new smartphone features in years with its new “Privacy Display,” and I think it’s awesome.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is official, and despite its shockingly stable price point, the flagship phone is hiding some significant camera upgrades. That includes enhanced “nightography” and lossless 8K video capture.

For today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break it’s all about the new Galaxy 26 lineup that is now up for pre-order with some massive deals. The new Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are now available for pre-order at up to $900 off with trade-ins, $150 off buds, watches, and accessories, bonus credits on other gear at checkout, and more – you can even land a completely FREE set of Galaxy Buds 4 (details right here). Head below for a closer look at the details. 

Samsung’s earbud lineup has, for years, been very solid. Clean hardware, useful software, and an affordable price. Plus, they long had their own identity in a market dominated by AirPods. Samsung tried something “new” in the Galaxy Buds 3 series a couple of years ago, and by that I mean, they basically just copied the AirPods. Still a solid product, but not what I’d come to like about past generations. Over the past few days, I’ve been trying the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, and I think Samsung has something special here.

Samsung is completely changing directions this year, and among moves like adding Perplexity as an AI assistant instead of relying on Gemini, Samsung is releasing something called “Now Nudge” on the Galaxy S26 series. Now Nudge is essentially just Magic Cue on the Pixel, but it only works with the Samsung Keyboard.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series might not add a ton of new functions and features, but there are a few software functions and features being lifted right from Pixel phones.

Samsung has confirmed that, yes, the Galaxy S26 series is getting faster charging rates both wired and wireless, but skipping out on Qi2 magnets yet again.

Very few changes, I think that sums up the Galaxy S26 series. Has Samsung dropped the ball? Is there anything really worth talking about here? Yes, let’s get into it.

Samsung officially announced the Galaxy Buds 4 and 4 Pro earbuds alongside the Galaxy S26 lineup. The new buds offer solid improvements, including head gestures, upgraded woofers, and adaptive EQ.

At Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked, Google announced agentic automation capabilities for the Gemini app on the Galaxy S26, as well as the Pixel 10.
