Scam Detection could be coming to Galaxy S27, but there's also good news for older phones

Scam Detection started off as a Pixel-exclusive feature when it launched on the Pixel 9 series, but this year, Google shed that exclusivity by expanding it to the Galaxy S26 series. Even Samsung’s newer Galaxy Z8 foldables support Scam Detection working through Samsung’s own Phone app, and the feature has been spotted in the works for vivo phones too. It seems Google has even more expansion in the cards, as we’ve spotted clues that it’s set to expand to even more Samsung flagships, including older foldables.

Within One UI 9 Beta 7 for the Galaxy S26, we’ve spotted various clues that indicate that Google and Samsung intend to bring Scam Detection to the following existing and upcoming phones:

• Galaxy S25 series:
  • Galaxy S25: SM-S931
  • Galaxy S25 Plus: SM-S936
  • Galaxy S25 Edge: SM-S937
  • Galaxy S25 Ultra: SM-S938
• Galaxy Z Fold 7: SM-F966
• Galaxy Z Flip 7: SM-F766
• Galaxy Z TriFold: SM-F968
• Galaxy S27 series:
  • SM-S952: Likely the base Galaxy S27
  • SM-S956: Likely the Galaxy S27 Plus
  • SM-S957: Likely the Galaxy S27 Pro
  • SM-S958: Likely the Galaxy S27 Ultra

All of these model numbers were mentioned in the code snippet related to the Scam Detection functionality, along with existing phones that support the feature.

Code snippets also suggest that the Galaxy S27 series will use a mix of Qualcomm and Exynos SoCs, depending on the region. More specifically, we’ve spotted mentions of “s5e9975,” which is expected to be the Exynos 2700, an SoC that Samsung has already confirmed. There are mentions of “qcom,” pointing to a Qualcomm SoC, but we couldn’t locate any specific model numbers in the code. All in all, this is another clue that Samsung could continue its dual-chipset strategy for its 2027 flagships, though the exact model and region split remains up in the air.

While the presence of these model numbers indicates active testing and development, there’s no guarantee these phones will definitively get Scam Detection, though there’s a good chance they will. The rollout timeline is also wide open: The Galaxy S27 series isn’t expected to launch for another few months, while Samsung’s older flagships are waiting for their One UI 9 betas to begin. So it’s unclear when these phones will get the feature. We’ll keep you updated when we learn more.
