Artificial Intelligence (AI) Everywhere: Samsung Unveils New Galaxy S25 Series with Enhanced AI Features
AI Isn’t Great if it Can’t be Personalized
AI isn’t great for most users if it can’t be personalized, especially on smartphones. Thankfully, the level of personalization is one of the best things about the new AI features of the Galaxy S25 Series. One UI 7 makes the S25 models AI companions rather than simple smartphones, helping provide more personalized AI experiences in daily life. The new smartphones can give context-aware suggestions and responses as you navigate your device, like recommending that you create a GIF from a video you’ve selected with AI Select.
Google Gemini at Your Fingertips
Now that Samsung is integrating Google Gemini into many applications, Galaxy S25 users can press and hold the power button on their phones to activate the AI. This approach is just like iPhone and iPad users can do with Siri, and it makes for easy access to the AI assistant.
Boosting Productivity with Now Brief
Samsung has announced a new ‘Now Brief’ feature that uses user insights and past interactions to offer suggestions on the lock screen. These proactive suggestions are featured in the Now Bar, a new feature on the Galaxy S25 lineup. In the morning, for example, Now Brief could show you a summary of last night’s sleep quality, weather forecast, calendar events, and suggestions for routines based on your data. In the evening, it could summarize what you did during the day, including photos you took, and provide reminders for upcoming events.
Samsung, but with Gemini Integrations
The new Samsung Galaxy S25 models feature more seamless Google and Samsung integrations than before. Gemini can perform quick actions across Samsung and Google apps, like asking the assistant to create reminders in the Samsung Reminder app, create events in the Samsung Calendar, or edit Samsung Notes. Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy S25 will work across Google apps, native Samsung Galaxy apps, and third-party apps, like WhatsApp and Spotify.
The Awaited Arrival of Project Astra is Imminent
Google initially demoed Project Astra during its I/O event last May, but, as its name indicates, this was merely a ‘project’ or prototype. Now, Google plans to bring some Project Astra features, like screen sharing and live video streaming, to the Gemini app for Samsung Galaxy S25 and Pixel smartphones.
Conclusion
The new Galaxy S25 series is a reflection of the company’s vision of a more personalized and intuitive AI-powered experience. With the integration of Google Gemini and Project Astra features, users can expect a more seamless and streamlined interaction with their devices.
