What are the differences between the Galaxy S26 and S25 Series?
Built from the ground up for an AI-first mobile experience, the Galaxy S26 Series, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26, comes equipped with One UI 8.5, the latest version of Samsung’s mobile interface. It delivers smarter personalisation, more intuitive navigation and deeper on-device intelligence that adapts in real time to how you work, create and connect throughout your day.
The interface works hand in hand with Galaxy AI features to anticipate your needs, surface relevant tools faster and simplify interactions, creating a smoother, more responsive mobile experience across the entire Galaxy S26 lineup. The all-new Now Nudge feature intuitively recognises what’s happening on your screen in real time and provides timely, relevant suggestions. For instance, if someone talks about making plans, it prompts you to open your calendar and schedule the event straight away. And if a friend asks for a photo, it instantly opens your Gallery, making it simple to find and share the right picture.
