Samsung has released a new teaser for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series. The series is expected to launch soon at the tech giant’s Unpacked event in 2026.
A video about the smartphone’s enhanced low-light video capabilities was posted on Samsung’s social media platforms. This video shows two skateboarders skating at night demonstrating the phone’s improved night photography mode using Galaxy AI technology.
The company used an AI system to create the teaser video, which makes it difficult to understand its marketing approach for the new flagship.

This short clip compares what Samsung calls standard video capture with the Galaxy S26’s enhanced low-light video mode. The company says users can expect “next-level night photography with #GalaxyAI.”
However, details in the footage, such as blurry textures on buildings, strange-looking shopping bags, and inconsistent shadows, suggest that it was not shot using a real device. Samsung’s fine print confirms that the video was created “with the help of AI tools.”
For a feature as important as low-light video on the Galaxy S26, many were expecting a real-world comparison shot directly on the phone. Instead, the AI-generated teaser sparked a debate online about the credibility of the camera upgrade.
