Highlights:

• Samsung’s AI anti-fraud feature can detect scam calls in real time
• Powered by on-device Gemini AI, originally from Google Pixel phones
• Global rollout expected, with foldables like Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 likely to get it

Samsung is preparing to expand its new AI-powered anti-fraud feature beyond the Galaxy S26 series, signaling a wider global rollout in the coming months. The feature, currently limited to users in the United States, is designed to detect scam calls in real time and warn users instantly if a conversation appears suspicious.

The technology behind this feature comes from Google and uses an on-device Gemini AI model. This means call content is analyzed directly on the phone, ensuring better privacy since data does not need to be sent to external servers. The system listens for patterns commonly linked to fraud and alerts users during the call itself.

Samsung has integrated this capability into its native Phone app through a collaboration with Google. Interestingly, this AI feature was first introduced on Pixel smartphones before making its way to Samsung’s flagship lineup.

Recent findings from code strings in the Google Phone app (version 217 beta) suggest that Samsung is planning to bring this feature to more devices. These include upcoming foldables such as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8, along with other regional variants across global markets.

The presence of multiple international model numbers strongly indicates that Samsung is aiming for a large-scale rollout. However, one notable absence is the expected global variant of the Flip 8, leaving some uncertainty.

Overall, this move suggests that AI-powered fraud detection could soon become a standard feature across Samsung Galaxy devices worldwide.
