Samsung teases new AI image editor for upcoming Galaxy S26 phones

Samsung is adding some more AI image editing tools to its next batch of Galaxy smartphones.

A series of short video teasers released today shows how users will be able to quickly and creatively edit photos with AI.

The Korean tech giant announced in a quick press blast on Tuesday that "the latest Galaxy smartphone" will have access to a new, unified suite of AI-powered editing tools. While Samsung didn't specifically mention S26 in its announcement, we think it's a safe bet.

The company is widely expected to announce three new Galaxy S26 phones at a Galaxy Unpacked event next week, so this will surely be a flagship feature for the new devices. It makes sense, as Galaxy phones utilize Google Gemini, which is widely regarded as the best generative AI photo editor thanks to Nano Banana.

Based on the teasers, the ability to capture and edit photos and videos will seemingly be combined into one app experience, so users no longer have to switch between multiple apps to do all of their editing. Examples given included turning daytime photos into nighttime shots and merging multiple photos into one.

Perhaps most importantly, Samsung said it will expand upon this feature at Galaxy Unpacked. Otherwise, the press release was pretty short and somewhat vague, so we'll have to wait until then to hear more.
