Galaxy S26 series will have more AI features

Samsung MX (Mobile eXperience) Division President TM Roh (Choi Won-joon) had some exciting news to share in an interview with Bloomberg that will surely delight Samsung enthusiasts! According to Roh, Samsung Electronics is in talks with several AI companies to add more AI services to the next-generation Galaxy S26 series smartphones. With this news, it’s clear that Samsung aims to take the artificial intelligence experience on its smartphones to the next level.

Particularly in a time when AI capabilities are gaining increasing importance for mobiles, Samsung’s proactive stance is really appreciable. Given the current success of Galaxy AI, expectations are already high that the S26 series will have more to offer. All these reflect Samsung’s focus on software innovation and its aim of enhancing the user experience.

Broad Collaboration Sought for AI

TM Roh made it clear that Samsung is still open to any competitive AI tool that can provide the best user experience. The Bloomberg report says that industry giants like OpenAI and Perplexity are among the firms vying to replace Google as the provider of AI services on Samsung’s flagship phones. This scenario means that Galaxy S26 series users could be in for a plethora of innovative AI features. Samsung’s quest for such a comprehensive set of partnerships demonstrates its commitment to providing users with the most enriching and functional AI experience available.

Apple’s Entry to Boost Foldable Market Development

Talking about rumors in the foldable phone segment, Roh also said that Apple’s decision to release its very first foldable iPhone next year would be a boost to the overall growth of the sector. In the view of Roh, the entry of another behemoth in the foldable phone sector would further propel the segment’s path towards mass adoption. This is great news for the mass adoption of foldable technology, a space Samsung has dominated for years! It’s certain that competition will lead to innovation and give users greater choices.

Processor Comparison for S26 Series: Exynos or Snapdragon?

Another interesting tidbit from Bloomberg’s report is that Samsung is still deciding on the application processor (AP) solution for the Galaxy S26 lineup. It’s said that alongside Qualcomm’s bespoke Snapdragon variant, Samsung is also weighing its own sibling division’s Exynos 2600 processor. This means that Samsung hasn’t decided yet which processor will power the S26 lineup. Both processors can provide flagship–level performance, which means that the S26 lineup won’t skimp on power.
