\t\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Yes, it feels like a first for the Pixel to influence the best Galaxy phones, but the Galaxy AI suite is flat out lifting functions first seen on Google\u2019s hardware and integrating right into One UI.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Gallery app is gaining its own built-in version of Pixel Screenshots feature that will auto-categorize based on screen context. Instead of requiring another app, you can go to the screenshots folder, and tags will appear for all the common categories, such as receipts, coupons, tickets, directions, and much more. This does feel like an improvement on the siloed experience on Pixel phones, as it doesn\u2019t fracture the experience.<\/p>\n

Google Photos\u2019 \u201cLocked Folder\u201d is also coming to the Samsung Gallery app as \u201cPrivate Album.\u201d This lets you hide certain content without creating separate folders or an active Samsung Account.<\/p>\n

Creative Studio is a Gemini-powered take on the popular Pixel Studio application. Like that app, it allows you to describe what you\u2019d like the AI to generate, or draw using the S Pen and then have Creative Studio turn into an image based on various criteria, themes, and styles.<\/p>\n

Magic Cue is \u201cNow Nudge\u201d on the new handsets. It\u2019ll work in much the same way, by surfacing relevant information like GPS locations, a telephone number, or even photos from a recent trip if someone asks using a messaging application. While Magic Cue is limited to Google\u2019s first-party apps, this will work with services like WhatsApp on the Samsung Galaxy S26, which might make it even more useful for many people.<\/p>\n

Call Screening has been a staple feature on Pixel phones for a number of years, but it is also making its bow on the Samsung Galaxy S26 series for the first time. Again, this works in much the same way it does on Pixel phones, allowing you to screen unknown callers with a live text feed of the ongoing conversation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often Samsung that debuts Google features ahead of integration into other Android devices, but it\u2019s interesting to see the Pixel leading the way and having Galaxy phones follow when it comes to AI functionality.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Galaxy S26 starts at $899,<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0Galaxy S26 Plus starts at $1,099<\/a>, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra is priced at $1,299. All three devices are available for pre-order, and getting them straight from Samsung has its benefits. Those who\u00a0pre-order the Galaxy S26 series<\/a>\u00a0devices can get a discounted pair of Galaxy Buds 4<\/a>. Samsung generally ends that offer when pre-orders are up.<\/p>\n
