Samsung introduced five new features to its Galaxy S26 lineup in 2026, including Photo Assist and Now Nudge, a feature that makes changes to existing photos and suggests actions based on what's on-screen. Photo Assist was a major addition to One UI 8.5, which allows users to adjust photos and create events based on the user's current information. Now nudge is a new feature that prompts users to create an event based on relevant information. The quick settings panel in One UI allows users access to quick device controls and can also be customized using the QuickStar module in Good Lock for further customization. The Privacy Display on the Galaxy S25 Ultra was introduced during the launch of the S26 series, which also included the Privacy Display. The addition of partial screen recording to allow users to record just a portion of their screen saves significant time and effort.
