The Samsung Galaxy S26 series finally official, and with it comes a new wave of AI features courtesy of Google Gemini. In addition to the Pixel smartphone lineup, Google also gives early access to many of its Gemini features to Samsung’s flagship devices, and the S26 phones are no exception.
For one, Gemini will now be able to take over your to-do list. Users can now essentially hand off tasks for Gemini, even those which usually require multiple steps to complete, such as when booking a cab or sorting out your grocery cart. Gemini will continue running in the backend while processing these tasks, allowing users to perform other tasks like checking their emails or messages.
As it is a beta feature, there are some limitations – at the moment, it will initially be available for users the United States and Korea, and will be limited for select food, rideshare, and grocery apps.
Circle to Search also gets a new update, which now lets users search for everything on their display instead of a single highlighted item. A new “find the look” feature will also roll out this week, allowing users to search for specific clothing items and even try them on virtually through their phone. The feature is currently exclusive for the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10.
Meanwhile, Scam Detection for phone calls will also be available for Samsung Galaxy S26 series devices for the United States, which will use Google’s on-device Gemini model; Google adds that it’s also added some improvements for Scam Detection via Google Messages, which will be able to better identify potential false messages including job scams and even romance scams.
