Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 series and Galaxy Buds4 series at Galaxy Unpacked 2026 in San Francisco, centering the event on agentic AI technology designed to work proactively in the background through features like Now Nudge, which surfaces contextual suggestions without switching apps, and an upgraded Bixby that delivers real-time web search results directly in conversation. The S26 Ultra contains a custom processor with a 39% more powerful neural processing unit, a new Privacy Display that limits side viewing, and professional camera tools including 8K recording. Samsung and Google also previewed an agentic version of Android powered by Gemini 3 as an early Labs feature. The Galaxy Buds4 series rounds out the launch with AI-powered noise reduction, Super Wideband call quality, and hands-free access to Bixby, Gemini, and Perplexity.
