Next-Gen Android AI Features Unveiled for Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10

Google Unveils New Android Updates at Samsung Event

During Samsung’s recent event, Google announced a slew of new Android updates that include enhanced Gemini-powered tools and improved scam detection features.

Gemini App Introduces Innovative Features

One of the standout features in the Gemini app is the ability for users to delegate tasks such as ordering a rideshare or creating a grocery list. This feature, initially available in beta, operates in the background while users focus on other activities. Live notifications provide real-time updates on Gemini’s progress, allowing users to monitor and intervene as needed.

Enhanced Object Recognition in Android

Android users can look forward to an upgrade in object recognition capabilities, enabling simultaneous searches for multiple items on the screen. For example, users can perform full-outfit searches using the “find the look” feature. This functionality will be accessible on select devices, including the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10, allowing users to gain insights into various objects within an image.

Gemini-Powered Spam Detection

Google leverages the power of Gemini to enhance spam detection for calls made through Samsung’s Phone app. The tool alerts users to potential scammers based on speech patterns. Notably, this feature remains inactive when communicating with contacts and is disabled by default.

Scam Detection in Google Messages

A similar approach is employed to detect scams in Google Messages, offering protection against fraudulent activities. Presently, scam detection for phone calls is exclusive to the Galaxy S26 in English within the US, while message detection covers multiple markets.

Availability of New Features

All these exciting features are now accessible on the Pixel 10 and Galaxy S26 series, although availability may vary by feature and region.
