Samsung customers buying now to avoid future tariffs – and may slow purchases once they arrive Samsung admits Galaxy devices can leak passwords through clipboard wormhole Samsung trumps USA's tariffs by making displays in Mexico, and elsewhere if needed Plenty of the new AI features are aimed squarely at consumers, to do things like tidy up photos – in some cases by adding imagined objects that Samsung thinks fit the scene – or lock video recordings horizontally even if users spin their phones. There's also a tool that analyses screenshots and then recommends where to buy any items depicted. Business buyers haven't been forgotten, as Samsung will again offer Enterprise editions of the handsets, which now come with a three-year warranty – one more than offered with last year's models. We're told Samsung has tools that offer "clearer visibility into firmware update status" to help with device fleet management. Samsung has signaled it wants to use more of its own Exynos processors in its handsets, but it hasn't got enough of them to power all S26+ and S26 base model units. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy is present in all S26 Ultra units, with its beefed-up NPU necessary to power some features. It will also ship in some of the lesser S26 range. ®
