Subscribe to our newsletter Samsung is "looking into" the potential of vibe coding on its phones This follows its Unpacked where it debuted the S26 series "AI phones" Samsung made no direct promises but does see the appeal of users coding and customizing their own apps and UX Samsung recently debuted the Galaxy S26 series of
phones and made a point to not call them smartphones they're AI phones now. This certainly rang true with the majority of upgrades to the devices being
AI software-focused, like the new Now Nudge and expanded Audio Eraser tools, with the biggest hardware bump for the base models coming via the 39%
improved NPU processing (the processor in charge of on-device AI tasks).

It also teased the debut of Perplexity on its phones , joining as an alternative to the Gemini assistant, and teased the possibility of other AI models getting the same treatment in the future. But one AI feature I didnt hear mentioned once despite it being the current hot topic in the AI space was vibe coding, and when I asked Samsung if this feature might appear on its phones Won-Joon Choi (Samsungs head of mobile experience) told me its something were looking into. As noted by Won-Joon Choi, the usefulness of
vibe coding on smartphones is that it opens up the possibility of customising your smartphone experience in new ways, not just your apps but your UX. You may like Samsung says its going to beat Apple with a bold new Google-powered 'AI OS' Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S26 series, and its AI tools are a huge win Samsung adds Perplexity to its S26 phones and it's already teasing more AI

He added, Right now were limited to premade tools, but with vibe coding,
users could adjust their favorite apps or make something customized to their needs. So vibe coding is very interesting, and something were looking into. (Image credit: Future) What is vibe coding? Vibe coding is the coding version of getting an AI to help you write, make an image, or complete any other
task. You say what you want to build Id make one that lets me watch regular YouTube videos but blocks out shorts and the AI will code it for you.

Its not new in the world of AI . Coding assistance was one of the earliest uses for modern LLMs, but recently dedicated vibe coding models have hit the scene. Much like how the latest iterations of AI image and video tools have taken a giant leap forward, these coding tools have as well. Vibe coding is becoming the next big thing in AI (Image credit: Bolt) Rather than just serving as a second pair of eyes, or an assistant to get some basic building blocks prepared that an experienced coder would need to assemble, vibe coding software can help near total novices build working apps.

Given the open nature of Android something Id just heard Won-Joon Choi and Samsungs chief marketing officer Benjamin Braun celebrate in a post-Unpacked panel its very easy for users to install their own apps on their device compared with, say, Apple systems, which are more locked down. As such, an in-built vibe coding tool feels like a no-brainer for Samsung.

Samsung seemed to agree, though, as youd expect, it didnt commit to saying definitely when or even if this feature will one day be built directly into its devices in some capacity.

That said, the idea did at least seem to interest Samsungs head of mobile experience, and given the excitement vibe coding is generating in the coding space, Im not surprised by his response. Well have to wait and see what Samsung has up its sleeve, but perhaps this AI phone thing could be more exciting than I first thought. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as
