nullCall Screening is one of those features that sounds gimmicky until you use it. Then you wonder how you lived without it.

What it does:

Unknown number calls. Instead of answering or ignoring, tap "Screen call." An AI assistant picks up and asks who they are and why they're calling. You see the conversation transcribed in real-time.

Based on that, decide to: take over the call, respond through AI, or hang up.

Why this is useful:

How many times have you ignored an important call? Or answered spam you immediately regretted? Call Screening shows you who's calling and why before you commit.

Auto-screening option:

Set it to automatically screen every unknown caller. You're in a meeting, phone rings, AI handles it. Check the transcript when convenient.

Does the caller know?

They hear an AI voice asking them to identify themselves. Filters out spam callers effectively since they don't want to engage.

Transcription quality:

Good for clear English. Heavy accents or bad connections reduce accuracy. Even imperfect transcripts usually provide enough context.

Privacy:

Everything processes on-device. Samsung doesn't receive call transcripts.

Setup:

Enable in Phone app settings. No accounts, no subscriptions. Check Galaxy S26 Ultra prices to find the best deal.
