Samsung has turned its presence at MWC 2026 in Barcelona into a statement of intent. The firm wants artificial intelligence to be more than just a function of its devices. Galaxy AI should be the foundation of your entire ecosystem. The company organized its stand around evolution Galaxy AI to agent systemcapable of anticipating the user’s needs, acting on their behalf, and seamlessly connecting mobile phones, wearables, tablets, and laptops.
At the heart of this offer is the Galaxy S26 series, the third generation of Samsung smartphones with artificial intelligence. Aside from the hardware, which includes the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and an improved camera for low-light conditions, the focus is on how the device understands the user’s context. Features like Now brieflywhich creates a summary of the agenda with relevant content, or Now the pushwhich launches offers adapted to the moment, lays the foundations for what Samsung calls artificial intelligence agents: systems that not only react, but also anticipate.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra will also debut Privacy displaya screen that limits lateral visibility without affecting the frontal operation of the user. This is the same Flex Magic Pixel technology that Samsung Display introduced separately at MWC, and its integration into the S26 Ultra makes it the first commercial implementation of this solution in a smartphone.
TriFold and Galaxy XR are new formats that Samsung wants to standardize
Samsung also brought two devices to Barcelona that hint at what’s to come: Galaxy Z TriFold and Galaxy XR. While both are currently in limited availability, Samsung is touting them as key parts of the Galaxy ecosystem of the future.
TriFold is Samsung’s first mobile phone with two hinges that allow the screen to fold up to 10 inches. It includes the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 200MP primary camera and a 5,600mAh battery split into three cells. At its thinnest point, it is 3.9 mm. For its part, the Galaxy XR is Samsung’s mixed reality glasses, co-developed with Google and powered by Android XR and Gemini. They feature 4K Micro-OLED displays for each eye, Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, and a 109-degree field of view. Its starting price is 1799 dollars.
Both devices occupy an important place on the stand with the series Galaxy Buds 4new Galaxy Book6 Pro and Ultra, Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Watch8reinforcing the idea that Galaxy AI doesn’t just live on mobile, but extends to every user’s touch point with technology.
Beyond the consumer: autonomous factories and connected health
Samsung used MWC to also show its vision in sectors further removed from the general public. Your initiative Factories controlled by artificial intelligence aims to transform its manufacturing facilities into autonomous, AI-powered environments by 2030 with agents that optimize production and quality control in real-time.
In the field of healthcare, the company presents its platform Connected Carestrengthened after the acquisition of Xealth in 2025. The integration of Galaxy ecosystem metrics with clinical workflows in hospitals and medical centers points to the use of wearable devices that goes beyond personal control.
At the same time, Samsung is promoting the transition to fully autonomous networks by 2027 with its package CognitiV NOS as an offering for telecom operators who want to manage their infrastructure through multi-agent artificial intelligence systems.
