"Starting with the Galaxy S26 series unveiled at Samsung Unpacked, Google's Scam Detection for phone calls will appear outside the Pixel ecosystem for the first time. The feature, which analyzes speech patterns during live calls for signs of fraud, previously lived exclusively on Google's own phones."
"The system runs entirely on the device using Gemini, Google's on-device AI model. That means your conversation never leaves your phone. Google emphasized in its announcement that 'the phone conversation processed by Scam Detection is neither stored on your device, nor shared outside of the device.'"
"Users control the feature too. It's turned off by default and never activates during calls with contacts stored in your phonebook."
Google is significantly expanding its Scam Detection feature across Android devices, moving beyond its exclusive Pixel ecosystem to Samsung's Galaxy S26 series and other partners. The feature uses on-device AI to analyze speech patterns during live calls for fraud indicators. Processing occurs entirely on the device using Gemini, Google's on-device AI model, ensuring conversations never leave the phone. The system is disabled by default and never activates for contacts in your phonebook. Currently available in the US, Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, and the UK on Pixel devices, Google plans to extend protections to additional users and markets through ongoing partnerships.
