What is Galaxy AI, and how can it help with summaries?
At the heart of the Galaxy S26 family is Galaxy AI, which uses powerful agentic technology to string together multiple requests into one seamless task. Galaxy AI understands natural speech, so you can ask about a wide variety of topics and receive immediate answers. Here are some of the questions that you can try asking Galaxy AI:
- Translate the following text into English and paste the results into a new Notes document.
- Clean up this highlighted paragraph and export it to a new email.
- What are the key points in Sections I-III of this article?
- Find the sections in this paper that relate to organic chemistry.
Galaxy AI responds best to casual questions, delivering the results you need across different apps.
Scan and read documents straight from your camera
The Document Scan feature is integrated right into the Galaxy S26 camera. Just point your phone at a black-and-white document and Galaxy S26 will parse the text, removing distracting elements, such as paper creases or a hand holding down a corner. Then you can save the scanned text into a new note, or directly send it via email or message. Document Scan also combines multiple pages automatically into a single PDF, eliminating the need to sort through multiple files.
Summarise notifications to stay ahead of your day
Notification highlights on your Samsung Galaxy S26 helps you prioritise important notifications. It categorizes key alerts and displays them in order of importance, based on user information and notification content. This feature helps you stay organised and focused on the tasks that require immediate attention, while ensuring that you quickly understand essential details.
In addition, you can use Notification highlights to summarise conversational notifications, such as incoming messages. This saves you the effort of opening each individual notification or sifting through extensive messages.
