Samsung just unveiled a hidden AI camera technology that debuted with the Galaxy S26 series. Flagships powered by Exynos 2600 chipset come with an AI-powered Visual Perception System (VPS), and it’s a very big deal.

The Exynos 2600 introduces an AI-based computer vision technology, which is designed to improve camera performance and efficiency, enhancing the overall power efficiency of the camera system.

Buried in a tech blog post, Samsung revealed something way more interesting. A dedicated AI subsystem called VPS that’s fundamentally reworking how the Galaxy S26 and S26+ take photos before you even tap the shutter.

VPS is an artificial intelligence computer vision subsystem designed for the camera that analyzes the scene and assists with multiple stages of image and video processing.

Instead of the old setup where the image sensor sent data to a general ISP, the Exynos 2600 brings in a dedicated AI block that sits in the pipeline and manipulates what the camera’s doing before you even press the button.

It also enhances the overall power efficiency of the camera system, which Samsung claims is more than 50% better compared to the previous gen.

Samsung’s VPS tech handles eye-blink detection across multiple faces simultaneously, picks the best frames for each person, then composites them together automatically.

The company’s own tech blog is light on real-world samples, heavy on architecture diagrams. That said, real-world camera improvements are yet to be tested by the buyers of the new flagships.

The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ are powered by the Exynos 2600 in most markets around the world; however, customers in the United States, China, and Japan will get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 instead.
