FAQs

How do I use the AI photo editing features?

Access Photo Assist through the Gallery app. Select a photo, tap the edit icon, and then look for the AI or 'Magic' button. You can then use natural language prompts to make edits, such as adding objects or removing blemishes. For sticker creation, go to Creative Studio within the camera or Gallery app.

What is the difference between the 256 GB and 512 GB storage options?

The 256 GB option is suitable for everyday use, including essential apps and a good number of photos. The 512 GB option is recommended for users who frequently play games, shoot high-resolution videos, download large apps, or store a vast library of media.

Can I use the device in water?

The Galaxy S26+ has an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in fresh water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, it is not designed for prolonged water use, and it's recommended to rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly if exposed to salt water or other liquids. Avoid intentional submersion.

How does 'Now Nudge' work?

For example, if you're discussing a trip, it might offer a quick way to find relevant photos or booking details. It aims to streamline your workflow by minimizing steps for common actions.

The device supports up to 45W wired fast charging via USB Type-C, allowing you to reach approximately 69% charge in about 30 minutes with a compatible charger. It also supports wireless charging.

How do I transfer data from my old phone?

Samsung offers Smart Switch, an app available on both Android and iOS devices, which allows for seamless transfer of contacts, messages, photos, apps, and settings. You can connect your devices via USB cable or wirelessly.

Does this phone support Wi-Fi 7?

Troubleshooting

Device is not turning on

Ensure the device is charged by connecting it to a power source for at least 30 minutes. If using a charger, verify the connection and try a different power outlet. If the issue persists, try a force restart by holding the power button and the volume down button simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds.

Slow performance or app unresponsiveness

Close background apps that are not in use. Restart the device to clear temporary files. Check for software updates for both the operating system and individual apps. Free up internal storage space if it is nearly full.

Poor camera quality in low light

Ensure the lens is clean. Utilize the 'Nightography' mode for optimal low-light capture. Check if AI scene recognition is enabled, as it can automatically adjust settings for challenging lighting conditions.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection issues

Toggle Wi-Fi or Bluetooth off and then back on. Restart the device and the router/connected device. Forget the network or pairing and try reconnecting. Check for any available software updates.

Battery draining quickly

Review battery usage in Settings to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable unused features like Always-On Display or background app refresh, and enable power-saving modes. Ensure 'Adaptive Battery' is enabled.
