Khaberni - In a defining moment in the history of smartphone development, Samsung Electronics unveiled its new series of Galaxy AI phones, the Galaxy S26 series, which presents artificial intelligence in a new vision; where thoughtful simplicity meets strong performance, confidence, and unprecedented protection.
This achievement, which puts the world on the threshold of a new stage of adopting artificial intelligence, was revealed as part of Samsung's annual Galaxy Unpacked event held on February 25th in San Francisco, United States, under the slogan: "The Next Smartphone: Artificial Intelligence that Simplifies Your Life".
The Galaxy S26 series phones, comprising models Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra, offer comprehensive and smooth experiences; where artificial intelligence requires no learning, being designed seamlessly as part of the overall system rather than as an add-on application or sideline feature, working for the user and not to confuse them, serving as an everyday tool easily integrated into life, context-aware, and managing tasks seamlessly from searching information to producing professional content.
The Galaxy S26 series phones, supported by the strongest performance in the history of the Galaxy series, feature the best professional camera system, advanced protection layers through Samsung Knox, the world's first Privacy Display screens equipped with privacy protection by controlling light diffusion on the screen and preventing onlookers from seeing its content while maintaining superb visual quality for the user, in addition to a system of smart features and functions to bridge the gap between optimism about artificial intelligence and concerns related to its use, simplifying life details without the need for learning or effort.
At the heart of the experience, stands the most powerful processor in the history of the Galaxy S series, equipped with the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, which offers a substantial leap in performance with enhancements of 19% in the CPU, 39% in the NPU, and 24% in the GPU, ensuring smoother multitasking, faster gaming, and seamless AI experiences without delay. To maintain balance, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has been equipped with a redesigned vapor cooling system using Thermal Interface Material (TIM) technology, which ensures greater heat dissipation that exceeds 20%, ensuring sustained performance even during long and intense usage including gaming and video recording.
As for the battery, with Fast Charging 3.0 technology, users can charge their Galaxy S26 series phones up to 75% in a record time of just 30 minutes, providing power for a full day's use.
Samsung Electronics introduces in the new series a photography system that redefines creativity, writing a new chapter in the world of photography and videography by integrating within it the tasks of shooting, content production, editing, and sharing in one seamless experience. The series phones, especially the Galaxy S26 Ultra phone, feature a 200MP main camera that allows for 47% more light to enter the sensor, producing clearer and more detailed pictures in low-light conditions. This camera is enhanced with a 50MP lens with ten times optical zoom, allowing for greater light entry by up to 37%, and wider aperture settings for exceptional performance in low light.
The phones in the series feature the advanced Nightography Video technology for higher clarity in night or low-light video captures. In a related context, the Super Steady technology with 360-degree horizontal lock feature allows for stable shooting even during fast movements. For professionals, the series phones are designed with the open APV standard for video recording up to 8K resolution while maintaining near-full quality through multiple editing operations. And because creativity does not stop there, the Photo Assist technology allows the user to make desired changes to captured photos such as adding missing elements with intelligence, converting a daytime scene to nighttime, automatically adjusting lighting and shadows, or even changing backgrounds and coordinating outfits with a single touch directly from the photo gallery.
Moreover, Samsung has developed a number of proprietary technologies, ProScaler and mDNIe, and visual performance, to provide clearer texts and richer, more realistic images and videos with accurate colors and enhanced details.
Additionally, the company has set out to design the new series of phones to offer intelligence that understands the user before they make a request. In its efforts to achieve this goal, Samsung Electronics has included Galaxy AI features in the Galaxy S26 series that operate proactively, smoothly, and contextually. The Now Nudge feature offers timely smart suggestions; if a friend asks for photos from a recent trip, the phone automatically suggests appropriate images from the gallery. The developed Circle to Search feature can recognize multiple items at once in a single image, while the Now Brief feature gathers the most important details of the day in one smart summary, providing shortcuts and practical suggestions based on the user's location and time through the Now Bar feature.
As part of addressing users' digital concerns, and because privacy is a top priority, the company has introduced within the Galaxy S26 series an unprecedented innovation redefining the smart communication experience through the Call Screening feature. This allows the phone to automatically answer unknown numbers, identify the caller, and screen the call to detect spam messages or voice phishing attempts. Once the safety of the call is confirmed, the phone displays the call text on the screen, allowing the user to respond safely and maintain focus during driving or meetings, clearly translating the company's efforts to elevate protection and security to unparalleled levels. This feature extends the revolutionary experiences in call handling after the company had previously introduced the Instant Translation feature for calls.
The Galaxy S26 series phones have a harmonious design identity with harmonized angles and a sophisticated color palette. The Galaxy S26 Ultra, within this series, is the slimmest in the history of the Ultra category, thanks to the Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Armor 2 glass, which offers increased resistance to scratches and reflection.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26+, and S26 phones will be available for pre-order starting Thursday, February 25th, in an attractive range of colors to suit various tastes, including: purple, cobalt, white, black, sky blue, alongside the exclusive rose gold and silver gray. Orders can be placed through the Samsung Levant eStore in Jordan.
