Samsung has been teasing the Galaxy S26 series for the past couple of weeks on social media, and while there are hints of good things such as the new “Privacy Display” and apparent low‑light video upgrades, the rollout is surrounded by a ton of absolute AI slop.
If you look through Samsung’s social media channels (Twitter/X, YouTube, etc.), you’ll find a few teasers for the Galaxy S26 series, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s “Privacy Display” feature and a vague camera‑upgrade teaser.

AI‑heavy videos
Samsung’s recent videos are saturated with AI‑generated content. Two examples are smart‑home product promos that feature AI‑generated “Beauty and the Beast” and fairy‑tale clips:
As The Verge notes, Samsung’s disclosure about AI use in these ads is inconsistent.
Low‑light video teaser
Another teaser released this week shows how the Galaxy S26 series will “brighten your after hours,” hinting at low‑light video improvements. The clip features a skateboarder at night, with a swipe transition to a brighter version of the scene. The smoothing looks a bit odd, but it does suggest a genuine upgrade.
The video’s disclosure states: “this content was generated with the assistance of AI tools,” meaning the comparison isn’t from an actual phone capture—it’s AI‑enhanced. The brickwork on the street later in the clip makes this clear.
The launch event is confirmed for February 25.
