Glenn and Angel use the Samsung S26 Ultra's AI to turn themselves into professional wrestlers live on air.

The episode begins with hosts Glenn, Angel, and Tim welcoming Samsung expert Vinay back to the show. They each have the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and immediately demonstrate its AI photo editing by turning themselves into professional wrestlers. Vinay explains the privacy display feature unique to the Ultra model, which can be activated via a side button shortcut. He then introduces the 'Now Brief' feature, an AI-generated newsletter that aggregates weather, calendar events, health data, and fitness targets into a single page based on user patterns. The hosts discuss the S26 series lineup, including the base S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra, noting that the privacy display and S Pen stylus are exclusive to the Ultra. Vinay demonstrates AI voice commands by having the phone list long weekends for 2026 and send the list via WhatsApp to a contact named Tony, all through voice without opening apps. The AI can also search for upcoming concerts in Singapore and add them to the calendar. Another key feature shown is the ability to summarize a one-hour Galaxy Unpacked video and save the summary to Samsung Notes. The conversation shifts to the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro, highlighting features like head gestures to answer calls and the interpreter app for real-time translation. Vinay demonstrates the interpreter mode by having a conversation in Hindi translated to English, with the phone displaying text for both parties. He also shows how the Buds allow private listening to AI responses. Later, Vinay showcases the call assist feature, where the AI screens unknown calls by conversing with the caller to detect scams before the user decides to answer. The episode concludes with each host sharing their favorite feature: Vinay likes using Gemini for homework help, Angel appreciates the horizontal lock for stable filming, Glenn values the privacy display, and Tim favors the interpreter app. Pricing details are shared, with the S26 Ultra starting at $1828 and Buds 4 Pro at $349, along with current voucher discounts.
