Samsung will release new AI image-editing options at its Unpacked event on Feb. 25, likely for the Galaxy S26 series.

The tools will allow users to turn the background from day to night, replace missing parts of a subject, and merge multiple photos into one using just text prompts, Samsung says.

Videos released by Samsung show that the AI tool will let you add a spaceship by just drawing it on a photo, fill the bite taken off a cupcake with the surrounding texture, and create stickers with various expressions of a dog based on a single picture of it.

Additionally, Samsung hinted that the next generation of Galaxy cameras will have "an end-to-end experience with the brightest Galaxy camera system ever as the foundation."

Not much else has been reported about the Galaxy S26 cameras apart from this. Leakers expect the S26 and S26 Plus to retain their existing setup of a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens.

Galaxy S26 Ultra may also retain its quad-camera setup of a 200MP f/1.7 main camera, 50MP telephoto lens with 5x zoom, 12MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom, and 50MP ultra-wide lens. The only improvement reported is for the aperture of the 200MP primary camera. It may be increased to f/1.4, making room for the bright camera system Samsung just teased.

More details about Galaxy S26’s camera and photo-editing capabilities will be revealed on Feb. 25. Stay tuned to PCMag’s coverage.
