US EditionGalaxy S26 Will Have a 'Hey Plex' Perplexity Hotword Alongside 'Hey Google' & Bixby
Samsung adds Perplexity AI as a system-level assistant on Galaxy S26, enabling multi-step workflows across Samsung and third-party apps, with 80% of users relying on multiple AI agents.
- Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S26 series will support a new Perplexity hotword and introduce Perplexity as an additional AI agent on upcoming flagship Galaxy devices.
- Samsung previously partnered with Perplexity last year to add its AI search to TVs, and Won‑Joon Choi said this fits Samsung's broader multi-agent Galaxy AI vision for flexibility.
- By saying `Hey Plex`, users can access Perplexity via quick-access controls or side-button hold, embedded in Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder, Calendar, and select third‑party apps.
- Adding Perplexity also positions Samsung as betting on user choice to differentiate from Apple and Google, despite lawsuits alleging content scraping and copyright infringement.
- More details will arrive next week alongside the Galaxy S26 announcement, and Samsung says supported devices will be announced soon with unclear exclusivity to the S26.
