  • Samsung could add more AI bots to the Galaxy S26
  • The Ultra model is rumored to be getting a camera boost
  • We should see these handsets appearing in January

We can now focus on the upcoming flagship phone series that we anticipate seeing from Samsung, specifically the Galaxy S26 handsets, following the official unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7.

There are two pieces of news to share. First, Choi Won-Joon, a Samsung mobile executive, told Bloomberg (via SamMobile) that the Galaxy S26 may have additional AI assistants in addition to Google Gemini and Bixby.

Although it appears that no final decision has been made on any integrations, Samsung appears interested in allowing chatbots like Perplexity and ChatGPT to come preinstalled in the Galaxy S26 and future phones.

Choi states, “We are speaking with a number of vendors.” “As long as these AI agents are competitive and can provide the best user experiences, we are open to any AI agent out there.” According to Bloomberg, Samsung may also be considering investing in Perplexity.

A major camera upgrade

The second piece of information, which is less official, relates to the Galaxy S26 Ultra model’s cameras. Renowned tipster @UniverseIce claims that the most costly 2026 models will have a notable improvement in camera quality.

It appears that a better version of the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor found in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be used in the phone. Most importantly, the sensor will allow more light to enter, which should result in better images, particularly in low light.

We’re eager to see how this camera performs in practical situations because the tipster claims that this will be the biggest boost for the Ultra camera since the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra back in 2020.

The Galaxy S26 series is the subject of growing rumors and leaks, and there has been speculation that the models that are available may alter. We should expect to see these phones in January if Samsung follows its regular plan.
