Samsung's S26 gives an advance look at what the Google-powered Apple Siri could do
Summary
Samsung's Galaxy S26 smartphone combines three AI assistants: Google's Gemini (which can now perform autonomous actions inside third-party apps), Perplexity for web searches, and an upgraded Samsung Bixby for on-device tasks. This multi-agent approach (using multiple separate AI systems together) gives Google's Gemini major market reach before Apple launches a Gemini-powered version of Siri later in 2025, with features that were originally planned for March or April now delayed to May or September.
