Google Pixel's Scam Detection May Arrive on Samsung Galaxy S26

• Google Pixel's exclusive Scam Detection feature, which alerts users to potential scams in real-time during calls and chats, might expand to non-Pixel devices.
• Clues in Google's Phone app (v206.0.857916353) suggest testing for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 series, potentially making it the first non-Pixel phone to get the feature.
• Scam Detection uses on-device AI, with Pixel 9 and 10 series utilizing Gemini Nano, while older Pixels use Google's machine learning models.
• A challenge exists as Samsung phones use their own dialer app; for Scam Detection to work, Samsung might need to preload Google Phone as the default.
• This move could be an incentive for Samsung, similar to its adoption of Google Messages for improved RCS support, enhancing the Galaxy S26's AI safety features.
