Some new features to look out for on the S26 series include Now Nudge, which uses AI to help users in real-time. If someone texts you about your availability, Now Nudge can prompt you to open your calendar, or if you have something planned already, your phone will suggest an AI-written reply saying that you’re busy.
The S26 Ultra also has new display technology called Privacy Screen, which can be activated 24/7, when you receive notifications, when you enter your PIN/passcode or when you’re using certain apps. Privacy Screen makes it so people around you can’t read your screen, without needing to buy extra hardware.
The devices also have ‘Notification Intelligence’ that uses Galaxy AI to prioritize meaningful messages and notifications, such as human conversations, over promotional or subscription notifications.
