Yesterday I attended a @Samsung event in celebration of International Women’s Day and conversations about AI and women, where Samsung demonstrated how agentic AI is being used in their new S26 Ultra smartphones in new features.

These included further integration with Google Gemini for a more intuitive search engine to help reduce barriers to information, and NowNudge, an internal operating system feature that helps sum up WhatsApp messages, reminds users about meetings and helps the user to retrieve info and images on their device quickly.

I love learning about new tech and find it really interesting to attend events like this because you get to see not just what tech companies are doing, but also how they are explaining it to consumers and the words and framing they use.

And when there’s a particularly good product demonstrator or spokesperson like Patrick below, I love highlighting their explanations.

So in the interests of transparency and public learning, I invite you to be a fly on the wall and see from my POV in this quick video what I learned 😉

Budget Samsung phones shipped with unremovable spyware, say researchers

Samsung is under fire again for shipping phones in parts of the world with a hidden system app, AppCloud, that users can’t easily remove.

@tasket @Samsung I mean… it has nothing to do with my video or post, but it’s a good point. Just irrelevant to the conversation of agentic AI and whether or not it’s useful in a phone.
