Scam Calls Getting Out of Hand? The Galaxy S26 Now Answers Them So You Don’t Have To

 We’ve all been there.





You’re makan-ing peacefully, halfway through your nasi lemak, then suddenly your phone rings.

Unknown number.


You answer anyway because mana tahu it’s important.


Next thing you know:


“Hello sir, your parcel ada issue.”


“Your bank account has been suspended.”


“Congratulations, you’ve won—”


Straight away, red flag.


With scam calls and spam calls becoming more common in Malaysia, Samsung is introducing a feature on the Galaxy S26 Series that could genuinely save users a lot of headache, Call Screening .


And honestly? For Malaysians constantly kena spam by fake bank officers, insurance agents, “investment experts” and random robocalls, this one actually feels useful.


Instead of you awkwardly picking up every unknown number, the Galaxy S26 can now screen calls on your behalf using Galaxy AI.

Here’s how it works:


When an unknown number calls, users can activate Call Screening. The phone then answers automatically with an AI voice assistant that politely asks the caller who they are and why they’re calling. While the caller speaks, the Galaxy S26 generates a live transcript on-screen in real time.


From there, users can decide whether to:


Answer the call

Reject it immediately

Or even type replies for the AI voice to read aloud


So instead of panic-answering every random number from “+60 something something,” users can now see exactly what the caller wants before even speaking. Basically, it’s like having a personal bodyguard for your calls



For Malaysians, scam calls aren’t just annoying anymore, they’re becoming genuinely dangerous.


From fake parcel delivery scams to impersonation calls pretending to be banks, government agencies or even police officers, many Malaysians are becoming more cautious about answering unknown numbers altogether. That’s where Call Screening could become especially useful.


Imagine this:


You’re in a meeting, driving, or just tired after work. Your phone rings from an unknown number.


Instead of answering directly, Galaxy AI picks up and asks:


“Please state your name and reason for calling.”


If the caller starts sounding suspicious or dodgy, users can simply reject the call without engaging further.


No awkward conversation.


No pressure.


No wasting time entertaining scammers.


What makes the feature feel practical is how naturally it fits into daily Malaysian life.


Whether you’re:


Avoiding spam calls during work

Screening unknown numbers late at night

Checking if a delivery rider is actually legit

Or trying not to get scammed by fake “bank officers”


The feature acts as an extra layer of protection before users even say hello.


Users can also send typed responses that Galaxy AI reads aloud during the call.


So if you’re busy, you can simply type:


“I’ll call you back later.”


The AI assistant says it for you automatically.


Quite useful especially for those moments where you don’t want to talk but also don’t want to seem rude.


AI features on smartphones sometimes feel a bit syok sendiri, but this one solves an actual problem many Malaysians face almost daily. And in today’s world, where every unknown call already feels a bit sus, that extra peace of mind might actually matter quite a lot.
