nullEver watch a video where you can barely hear people talking over the wind or background noise? Audio Eraser is Samsung's solution for that, and on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, it does something pretty clever.

What's New This Year

The basic feature has been around, but now it works in real-time on apps like YouTube and Netflix. Watching a video with annoying background noise? The S26 Ultra can filter it out on the fly. The audio gets cleaner while you watch.

How It Actually Works

The AI listens to different elements in the audio—voices, music, wind, crowd noise—and lets you dial down the stuff you don't want. All processing happens right on the phone using the Snapdragon chip's AI capabilities, so nothing gets sent to a server.

Using It On Your Own Videos

Open any video you've recorded in the Gallery app, and you can clean up the audio before sharing. Windy beach video? Kill that wind. Concert recording where the crowd is drowning out the music? Tone them down.

The Catch

It's not magic. Sometimes when you crank up the noise removal, you'll notice weird audio artifacts—voices can sound a bit robotic or hollow. And if the sound you want to keep and the sound you want to remove are too similar, the AI struggles.

For casual cleanup though? It works surprisingly well. Just don't expect studio-quality results from a phone feature.
