The Galaxy S26 proves Google was right all along

Samsung's latest Galaxy S26 launch event felt strangely familiar to anyone who owns a Google Pixel. I went hands-on with Samsung's new "AI Phones" and discovered that major software updates like Now Nudge and Call Screening are directly lifted from Google's playbook. While Samsung did introduce a few unique tricks of its own, this massive shift proves that Google's vision has been on the right track all along. 👀 Want to hear my take on Galaxy vs Pixel?
