Samsung teases Galaxy S26 AI camera with image editing, stickers, and low-light video tools

Looks like we can expect more AI from the Galaxy S26 camera.

Samsung is teasing "a new Galaxy camera experience" coming next week, saying that "the latest Galaxy AI experiences will bring advanced creative tools to one place." A handful of teaser videos -- along with those AI-generated ads -- give me the impression that we're going to see more AI tools crammed into the camera system. But maybe calling it "the brightest Galaxy camera system to date" confirms the rumors of brighter apertures, which could do a lot more for image quality than some AI editing tools.

Samsung Teases AI Image-Editing Tricks for Galaxy S26

Samsung will release new AI image-editing options at its Unpacked event on Feb. 25, likely for the Galaxy S26 series. The tools will allow users to turn the background from day to night, replace missing parts of a subject, and merge multiple photos into one using just text prompts, Samsung says. Videos released by Samsung show that the AI tool will let you add a spaceship by just drawing it on a photo, fill the bite taken off a cupcake with the surrounding texture, and create stickers with various expressions of a dog based on a single picture of it. Additionally, Samsung hinted that the next generation of Galaxy cameras will have "an end-to-end experience with the brightest Galaxy camera system ever as the foundation." Not much else has been reported about the Galaxy S26 cameras apart from this. Leakers expect the S26 and S26 Plus to retain their existing setup of a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. Galaxy S26 Ultra may also retain its quad-camera setup of a 200MP f/1.7 main camera, 50MP telephoto lens with 5x zoom, 12MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom, and 50MP ultra-wide lens. The only improvement reported is for the aperture of the 200MP primary camera. It may be increased to f/1.4, making room for the bright camera system Samsung just teased. More details about Galaxy S26's camera and photo-editing capabilities will be revealed on Feb. 25. Stay tuned to PCMag's coverage.

Samsung teases mobile AI photography tools ahead of Unpacked

Anyone who's been paying even a little bit of attention to tech news lately could have made a reasonable guess that AI will be a big topic at Samsung's Unpacked next week. Ahead of the event, Samsung teased some of what's to come for AI in terms of the Galaxy S26 smartphone lineup's photography tools. The S26 phones will feature a new camera system using Galaxy AI that combines capturing, editing and sharing of photos and videos. "Users will be able to turn a photo from day to night in seconds, restore missing parts of objects in images, capture detailed photos in low light, and seamlessly merge multiple photos into a single, cohesive result," a company rep said. The video clips Samsung shared demonstrated the before and after results of using its AI tools, which will all be housed in a single app rather than needing to switch between multiple image editing programs. Updated cameras are just part of what will be on the schedule for Samsung's big mobile showcase. The expected Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely have a lot of AI-centric features.

Galaxy S26 will make custom stickers effortless with new Galaxy AI tool

The new Galaxy AI feature automatically generates sticker packs with multiple poses and expressions, with no manual cropping needed. Samsung's latest teasers for its upcoming Galaxy S26 series are leaning hard into artificial intelligence, and one clip in particular offers a glimpse of the creative features Samsung plans to introduce. The short video shows an AI-powered tool that quickly turns real-world subjects into fun digital stickers with just a few taps. It might seem like a simple party trick, but there's more to it. Samsung is integrating Galaxy AI into how you capture, edit, and share photos on its next flagship phones. And this isn't your grandpa's emoji maker. From what we're seeing, Samsung wants AI to move from novelty to practical everyday tools. The teaser (shown above this article) shows how a real photo, like one of your pet, can be turned into a lively sticker pack with different poses and expressions. Instead of just cropping and adding a border, the generative AI analyzes the image and creates new visual content instantly. This feature builds on Samsung's current One UI tools that let you make custom stickers from photos, but there's an important difference. Older tools, such as the sticker editor in previous One UI versions, needed you to select and trim images by hand. With Galaxy AI, the process is automatic, so you don't have to spend time outlining or guessing. The sticker feature is just one part of Samsung's bigger AI plans. The company has also hinted at better image creation and improved low-light video capture for the upcoming Galaxy S26 phones. And if turning your dog into a sticker is just the first trick? Samsung's next flagship phones might have even more surprises in store this year.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's low-light teaser relies on AI, not real footage

Rajesh started following the latest happenings in the world of Android around the release of the Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy S. After flashing custom ROMs and kernels on his beloved Galaxy S, he started writing about Android for a living. He uses the latest Samsung or Pixel flagship as his daily driver. And yes, he carries an iPhone as a secondary device. Rajesh has been writing for Android Police since 2021, covering news, how-tos, and features. Based in India, he has previously written for Neowin, AndroidBeat, Times of India, iPhoneHacks, MySmartPrice, and MakeUseOf.

With the Galaxy S26's launch fast approaching, Samsung has ramped up its marketing efforts surrounding it. Since last week, the company has published several teasers, highlighting the various aspects of the device. It's continuing that trend with a new short video putting the spotlight on Galaxy S26 Ultra's low-light video capabilities, except it's using AI to do so. Samsung wants to build hype around the Galaxy S26's next-gen low-light "Nightography" capabilities. Ideally, you'd expect the company to do this by sharing low-light images or video samples from the phone. It has done something similar with its teaser titled "Brighten your after hours." It suggests that the Galaxy S26 will deliver impressive video quality even in challenging lighting conditions, showing the before and after with low-light video mode enabled. The catch? The entire clip is AI-generated. The company only partially acknowledges this towards the end of the teaser by saying, "This content was generated with the assistance of AI tools." If anything, it already paints the Galaxy S26's camera in a poor light. Samsung should have shot this teaser from the Galaxy S26 to highlight its low-light prowess -- assuming the camera can genuinely deliver that level of quality. Using AI-generated content serves no purpose here and shows the company's lack of faith in the capabilities of its own products. A wider aperture alone may not bring substantial improvements The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to get a wider f/1/.5 aperture vs. the S25 Ultra's f/1.7. This should certainly help improve low-light images and videos, as more light will hit the sensor. But the difference might not be that big in daily life, especially since Samsung will supposedly stick to the same 200MP primary sensor as its last few Ultra flagships. This is also probably why the company is using AI-generated content to hype the camera capabilities of its 2026 flagship.

Samsung teases Galaxy S26 camera as 'brightest' and 'easiest' ever, thanks to AI

Samsung is continuing its Galaxy S26 teasers with a new post highlighting "an end-to-end" camera experience that's brighter and easier than ever. The Galaxy S26 series, according to Samsung, will build more AI editing tools on top of "the brightest Galaxy camera system ever." The post uses examples of existing Galaxy AI features such as the ability to restore parts of an image - in Samsung's example, restoring a cupcake with a bite taken out of it - drawing sketches to have AI generate that part of an image, or creating stickers from an image. In some capacity, these all exist today, but it sounds like Samsung is looking to streamline the experience, calling it the "easiest and most user-friendly Galaxy camera experience yet." Samsung says: Mobile cameras are moving beyond capture, as the latest Galaxy AI experience unifies advanced creative capabilities for capturing, editing, and sharing in one intuitive platform. The result is a seamless experience and a more fluid creative process -- eliminating the need to switch between apps or navigate complex tools, so creativity feels faster, simpler, and more natural. At the core of this evolution is the belief that creativity should not be limited by technical skill or experience. From shooting to editing, the Galaxy camera has quietly redefined what's possible. Now anyone can create cinematic videos, track stars across the night sky or capture richly detailed photos -- even in low light. And with natural, multimodal input, editing becomes as simple as describing what you have in mind in just a few words. Samsung has been emphasizing low-light performance improvements in Galaxy S26 series teasers, though the company has been somewhat undercutting that with the use of AI-generated videos. Low-light improvements are always welcome, though, as are changes that make the camera experience easier. As for what Samsung has in mind, we don't have long to wait to find out, as the Galaxy S26 launch is confirmed for February 25.

Samsung just revealed key details about the Galaxy S26's camera -- and it could be an AI powerhouse

Samsung's hyping up its new phone's AI camera capabilities already The Samsung Galaxy S26 launch is only a week away, but it seems Samsung can't help but announce what seem to be upcoming features ahead of time. While the new phone isn't mentioned by name, Samsung has revealed plans for a new AI-powered Galaxy camera experience designed for "the latest Galaxy smartphone." That could mean the Galaxy S25, but it's far more likely that Samsung has the Galaxy S26 in mind, considering how close we are to the next Galaxy Unpacked. The idea is to negate the need to jump between apps for simple tasks by putting photo and video editing into one, unified app. Samsung claims this will make "creativity feel faster, simpler, and more natural." No more relying on complex, time-consuming editing software. As an AI-centric tool, Samsung has promised you'll be able to make these changes "using your own words," and has promised multimodal capabilities that can ensure your phone knows what it's actually looking at. This all suggests this will be a prompt-based system rather than forcing you to manually get to grips with different tools and settings. That sounds remarkably similar to Google's Conversational Editing feature that debuted last year on the Pixel 10 series. Though since that was restricted to editing, and not actually capturing content, it would seem the Galaxy S26 might have an extra advantage over Google's flagship. Examples of the new camera apps' capabilities include being able to turn photos from day to night, restore missing parts of objects, improve photo quality in low light and "seamlessly" merge multiple photos into a single picture. But if you were looking for something more extravagant, Samsung has also mentioned the ability to track stars across the sky, capture "richly detailed photos," and create cinematic videos. We don't have any additional details beyond that, though I suspect Samsung has deliberately held back a lot of information for Unpacked. The event is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT on February 25. The whole show will be live-streamed, and we at Tom's Guide will have full coverage of the event (and the devices on show) on the day.

Coming Soon: A Seamless Galaxy Camera Experience for Easy Content Creation

Turning a photo from day to night in seconds. Restoring missing parts of objects in images, like a bite taken out of a cake. Seamlessly merging multiple photos into one cohesive image. These creative capabilities once required professional skills or hours of editing. Now they're possible in minutes, directly from your Galaxy phone, simply by asking in your own words. That's the next evolution of the Galaxy camera: an end-to-end experience with the brightest Galaxy camera system ever as the foundation. Mobile cameras are moving beyond capture, as the latest Galaxy AI unifies advanced creative capabilities for capturing, editing and sharing in one intuitive platform. The result is a seamless experience and a more fluid creative process -- eliminating the need to switch between apps or navigate complex tools, so creativity feels faster, simpler and more natural. At the core of this evolution is the belief that creativity should not be limited by technical skill or experience. From shooting to editing, the Galaxy camera has quietly redefined what's possible. Now anyone can create cinematic videos, track stars across the night sky or capture richly detailed photos, even in low light. And with natural, multimodal input, editing becomes as simple as describing what you have in mind in just a few words. Stay tuned for the easiest and most user-friendly Galaxy camera experience yet, unveiling next week at Galaxy Unpacked February 2026.

Samsung teases 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.

Samsung Teases a New Unified, AI-Powered Galaxy Camera Experience

Samsung has teased a new Galaxy smartphone camera experience ahead of its next Galaxy Unpacked event next week. The new experiences look poised to heavily leverage the Galaxy AI technology, which has become an increasingly important part of the Samsung Galaxy series in recent years, including in last year's Samsung Galaxy S25 series. Last week, Samsung announced its next Galaxy Unpacked event, and the initial teasers and info appear to almost exclusively focus on Galaxy AI. AI-based tools were already a significant part of the Samsung Galaxy S25-series experience, including on the Galaxy S25 Ultra handheld PetaPixel reviewed. On that device, users can take advantage of different AI tools to turn doodles into images, remove distractions from photos, add all-new objects to photos, and much more. For photographers, there are some handy features, like a "Best Face" that combines multiple group or portrait shots to make everyone look their best -- no more blinks ruining shots. There is also an AI-assisted Generative Edit tool, which was significantly improved in last year's model. For this year's Galaxy devices, Samsung promises that users will be able to access all of Galaxy AI's photo and image features in a fully unified photo and video experience -- no more jumping between different apps. Users will be able to turn a photo from day to night in seconds, restore missing parts of objects in images, capture better low-light photos, seamlessly merge multiple shots into an AI-powered panorama, and more. "Tasks that once required professional skills and hours of editing will now be completed in minutes directly from the latest Galaxy smartphone," Samsung says. This new info aligns with what Samsung teased last week, when it said that its upcoming Unpacked event will feature the company's newest Galaxy innovations and start "a new phase in the era of AI as intelligence becomes truly personal and adaptive." As for what might be changing with Galaxy's actual camera hardware, Samsung is keeping its cards very close to the vest. However, the company says that the new Galaxy camera experience, which will be fully unveiled next week, is "built on the brightest Galaxy camera system to date." Ideally, there will be meaningful hardware improvements to go along with the upgraded AI-based software enhancements. While there are plenty of compelling ways for AI to enhance the mobile photo and video experience, there is no substitute for better image sensors and lenses. One of the biggest knocks PetaPixel made against the Galaxy S25 Ultra last year was that most of the improvements felt minor, especially for photographers. Hopefully Samsung's newest devices will mix things up beyond new Galaxy AI features and more AI tools inside the camera app. Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event starts on February 25 at 1 PM EST (10 AM PST). PetaPixel will have all the news as soon as it's available.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 could have the most AI camera ever

The camera system update should more seamlessly integrate all those Galaxy AI imaging tools What was once separate could become one, and what was once confusion could finally offer clarity: that's the potential promise of Samsung's next big camera system for its upcoming, anticipated lineup of Galaxy S26 smartphones. After announcing last week that it will hold its big Winter Unpacked event in New York on February 25, where it is expected to reveal new Galaxy S26 smartphones (along, posisbly with Galaxy Buds and a Galaxy Watch update), Samsung is now teasing out some details about the big launch. In a brief release backed up by a handful of revealing video demos, Samsung said it plans to "unveil a new Galaxy camera experience designed to unify photo & video capturing, editing, and sharing into one intuitive system." Among the promised features are: This sounds like a mix of old and new features. We could already sketch on images to create new elements, like the spaceship over the cow show in this GIF. However, the quick replacement of a bite out of a cupcake to make it whole again is a leveling up of AI capabilities. What's more interesting here is the potential to have Galaxy AI's image editing and enhancement tools more deeply integrated with the base camera system. Right now, for instance, the AI editing features live under a Galaxy AI button, and even there, the sketch to image and Generative Edit are separate elements in the tool. Could all these disparate pieces be fused into one cohesive camera system? Could they appear as tools during image capture? Here's how Samsung describes it: "The latest Galaxy AI experiences will bring advanced creative tools to one place, eliminating the need to switch between apps and navigate complex editing software." Like its partner Google, Samsung has leaned into generative image manipulation in a way, say, that Apple and its iPhone have not. There's the "Clean Up" tool in iOS. 26's Photos app, but that element removal tool is about as far as Apple is currently willing to go in the AI space. For years, we've been able to sketch a rudimentary dog on any Galaxy image and let Galaxy AI generate a lifelike dog that looks like it was always part of the photo. The integration of these powerful AI tools is not unexpected, but it does signal that Samsung is willing to let the AI experience become more seamless until they're no longer seen as these separate and maybe esoteric things: it's all just part of the Galaxy S26 phone's capabilities. I'm curious if this new camera system also means the tighter integration of all those tools currently hidden under the Galaxy Camera app's "More" menu. This includes the "Pro" tools, "Proi Video," "Single Take," "Panorama," and more. In a similar vein, I wonder how deeply Samsung plans to integrate video shooting and editing. While it mentions video, Samsung offered no details on what changes we can expect in the handling of moving images. Whatever these changes do entail, one thing is clear: the Samsung Galaxy S26 line will combine its hardware camera updates (no one is expecting major lens changes) with a brand new camera platform, one that could be qual parts optical and AI. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked is sure to be a fascinating unveil. Stick with TechRadar, which will be on the ground in San Francisco on February 25 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST (5 AM AEDT on the 26th).

The next Galaxy S26 camera may get Samsung's easiest AI editing yet

Samsung teases one flow for shooting, editing, and sharing at Unpacked. Samsung is setting expectations for the Galaxy S26 camera before it ever hits shelves. In a recent post, it described a camera app workflow that's built to be simple, with AI edits you can request in plain language instead of toggling through layers of settings. The promise is speed. Samsung wants you to shoot, make fixes, and share from one place, so your phone feels like a camera and an editor at the same time. Recommended Videos Samsung says the reveal happens at Galaxy Unpacked in February 2026. The livestream is scheduled for Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. PT, and the company is already promoting reservations that include a $30 credit and additional preorder savings. One interface, fewer steps Samsung's framing is that the camera app shouldn't stop at capture. It says the next setup keeps the most common edits close to the shutter, then carries you through to sharing without bouncing into other apps. On the AI side, Samsung points to a few headline tricks. It mentions turning a scene from day to night, restoring missing parts of an object, and merging multiple images into a single result, all designed to help you finish something in minutes. Why this matters for creators For anyone who posts often, the Galaxy S26 camera pitch is appealing because it treats editing as part of taking the photo. Casual creators don't want a class on color curves. They want a shareable shot fast. But the details that decide whether this is useful are still missing. Samsung hasn't said which S26 models get the full set of tools, whether the AI runs on-device or relies on the cloud, or what guardrails it uses when an edit changes the content of an image. What to watch at Unpacked On Feb. 25, listen for what actually works from typed prompts on day one, and whether these tools apply to photos, video, or both. Also watch for how much control you keep, including ways to undo, dial back, or fine-tune results. Then there's the fine print. Samsung hasn't talked about region limits, account requirements, or subscription gates, and those can reshape the whole value proposition quickly. If the demo looks strong, your next step is simple, wait for model-by-model support details before you commit.

Next Galaxy Camera System Will be 'Brightest to Date'

We may earn a commission when you click links to retailers and purchase goods. More info. We are coming up on Samsung's next Unpacked event, which is where the company will unveil the Galaxy S26 series. Leading up to that, the company is now teasing the camera system buyers can look forward to. The updated system is designed to combine photo and video capture along with editing and sharing. Users should be able to snap their shots, edit them using powerful AI tools, and then ship them off to social media or to friends all within the same experience. AI Goodies: For AI tools, Samsung highlights the ability to turn daytime photos into nighttime photos in seconds, restoring missing parts of objects in images, shooting in very low light, merging multiple images into a single shot, and more. "Tasks that once required professional skills and hours of editing will now be completed in minutes directly from the latest Galaxy smartphone," the company explained. Samsung is labeling this the "brightest Galaxy camera system to date," for the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung teases AI-driven camera experience for Galaxy S26

Samsung has teased upcoming mobile artificial intelligence photography tools for the Galaxy S26 lineup. These features will be presented at the Unpacked event next week. The Galaxy S26 phones will integrate a new camera system utilizing Galaxy AI. This system combines the capturing, editing, and sharing of photos and videos. All image editing features will be consolidated into a single application. According to a company representative, users will gain the ability to convert a daytime photo to a nighttime scene rapidly, restore missing sections of objects within images, capture detailed photos in low-light conditions, and merge multiple photos into one cohesive result. Video demonstrations showcased the effectiveness of these AI tools. The Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra models are anticipated to feature numerous AI-centric functionalities, including updated cameras.

The Galaxy S26 AI camera looks promising, but Samsung's promo videos raise some questions - Phandroid

With Galaxy Unpacked just a week away, Samsung has been ramping up its pre-launch teasers for the Galaxy S26 series. The company recently pulled back the curtain on what it's calling a completely new Galaxy AI camera experience, and some of the features sound genuinely interesting. The way Samsung chose to show them off, though, is raising a few eyebrows. Samsung says the Galaxy S26 AI camera will bring capturing, editing, and sharing into one unified system. No more jumping between apps to fix up a photo. Everything happens in one place. Samsung previewed a handful of specific features, including the ability to flip a daytime photo into a convincing night scene, restore missing parts of objects in an image, and merge several shots into a single result. A technology called EdgeFusion handles the on-device processing, so edits happen in seconds. It's a solid pitch, especially for people who want great-looking photos without touching an editing app. Here's the awkward part. The promo videos Samsung shared to showcase these camera improvements weren't actually captured on a Galaxy S26. Samsung's own fine print confirms the clips were made "with the assistance of AI tools." One video meant to demonstrate low-light video recording shows someone skateboarding at night, and the AI-generated quality is pretty obvious on closer inspection. The textures look off, the movements appear unnatural, and the bricks on the ground are a dead giveaway. For a teaser specifically designed to show what a camera can do in low light, using AI-generated footage is a strange call. It tells us nothing about what the real camera can actually do. To be fair, Samsung did disclose the AI involvement upfront, and the full reveal is still coming at Galaxy Unpacked on February 25. The Galaxy S26 AI camera features may well impress when we see them in action. But for now, we'll just have to take Samsung at its word.

Samsung's new AI phone camera promises magical features, infinite cupcakes | Stuff

Samsung has begun teasing a new AI-driven camera experience set to debut at its Galaxy Unpacked launch event on 25 February - and it sounds like image editing will be more deeply integrated than before. According to Samsung, its upcoming Galaxy camera system is designed to "unify photo and video capturing, editing, and sharing into one intuitive system". The company says AI will power features capable of "restoring" missing parts of an image, merging multiple photos into a single result, transforming lighting conditions, and enhancing low-light detail. The example shown off is a cupcake bite being seamlessly filled in - an infinite cupcake hack that we could only wish were possible in real life. The effect works well, but signed-off in-house marketing material always does. The real proof will be when we take the new features for a spin ourselves. Elsewhere, Samsung also highlights tools that let users add elements to images through drawing or simple input, with AI generating a finished result directly inside the camera workflow. Take the aforementioned cupcake, hastily doodle a cheeky goblin with a cupcake-stealing sack, and presumably you'll have a delightful render of a tiny dessert thief on the table next to it. All signs point to these tools launching alongside the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, which Samsung has already confirmed will be unveiled in San Francisco on 25 February. As noted in our Galaxy S26 preview, major camera hardware upgrades weren't strongly rumoured this year. Instead, much of the focus appears to be shifting towards computational photography and Galaxy AI processing. While disappointing for hardware fans. It doesn't necessarily mean image quality stands still. Samsung has steadily refined its HDR handling, low-light processing and subject detection through software in recent generations. This latest teaser suggests the S26 range could push further, folding more generative tools directly into the core camera experience rather than positioning them as standalone editing features. Having said all that, though, some form of hardware upgrade would still be very welcome in our eyes, especially as Chinese manufacturers like Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi are constantly pushing boundaries with larger sensors and impressive zoom levels. For now, we'll get the full picture on 25 February, when Samsung formally reveals the Galaxy S26 lineup and details its next wave of AI-powered features. Watch this space.
