Artificial intelligence is starting to change the way people work, find information and even form social relationships. Yet very little has changed about the devices people often use to access AI: smartphones.<\/p>\n

Samsung wants to change that with its Galaxy S26, a new series of smartphones announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra phones will use AI to try to predict what a user wants to do next, and in some cases accomplish tasks on their behalf. To this end, Google is previewing a new feature for its Gemini assistant, starting with ride-sharing, grocery and food apps.<\/p>\n

Gemini could look at a list of guests for a barbecue, then work in the background to build a shopping cart with the right amount of food and supplies for everyone attending. Or, if an S26 user has a flight coming up in a couple of hours, the phone may display a button to call an Uber from the home or lock screen without having to launch the app.<\/p>\n

Analysts say it\u2019s a sign of what\u2019s to come for smartphones: a world where users do far less tapping and swiping between apps, and AI agents do the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes complete sense for (phone makers) to focus on this, because that is where we are headed. That is going to be the future of smartphones,\u201d said Nabila Popal, a senior director covering mobile phones for International Data Corporation, a market research company.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s unclear, however, is when exactly that future will materialize, or if it will actually compel millions of people to buy a new phone. Smartphone makers have over the years gradually infused software with more AI tools\u2014like the ability to search for something just by circling it on screen or erasing unwanted objects from photos. But analysts say most people buy new phones out of necessity and prioritize features like new colors, fancy cameras and better…<\/p>\n
