You won't need the latest Samsung phone to get this super useful feature.

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

According to One UI 9 Beta 7 code, Google and Samsung are planning to introduce Scam Detection to the upcoming Galaxy S27 series. The feature might also extend to older Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S25, Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z TriFold.

The code mentions "s5e9975" (Exynos 2700) alongside a Qualcomm chip, suggesting Samsung may stick with the dual-chipset approach for their 2027 flagship smartphones. Scam Detection initially launched as a Pixel-only feature with the Pixel 9 series, but this year Google removed that exclusivity by bringing it to the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung's newer Galaxy Z8 foldables also support Scam Detection through their own Phone app, and the feature has been observed in development for vivo devices as well. It appears Google has broader expansion plans, as evidenced by clues indicating the feature may be rolled out to even more Samsung flagships, including older foldable models.
