Samsung Galaxy AI Expansion: Insights into Phones, Bars, Gemini, and More
Samsung Unveils Ambitious Plans for Galaxy AI and Agentic AI
Samsung has announced exciting updates to its Galaxy AI-powered Samsung Health features, set to roll out this summer. The new features include a vascular load metric, personalized nutrition advice, and AI tools that allow users to ask questions, receive real-time insights, and receive personalized coaching, all as if from a personal health assistant [1][2][3].
These new features will arrive with Wear OS 6 in fall 2025, starting on the Galaxy Watch 8. The Galaxy AI tools are not a replacement for the Bixby assistant but are a catch-all term for Samsung's AI features [3].
Beyond these immediate updates, Samsung's Agentic AI, embedded in the Personal Data Engine, is planned to evolve significantly. The company aims to expand AI capabilities to anticipate user needs proactively, simplify tasks, and personalize interactions in a way that makes AI feel like a natural extension of the user's capabilities [1][2][3][4].
Key future plans for Samsung’s Agentic AI (Personal Data Engine) include expanding Galaxy AI to 400 million devices by the end of 2025, enhancing multimodal AI intelligence, seamless integration with IoT and connected devices, a strong emphasis on privacy and security, and collaboration with AI leaders [1][2][3][4].
Samsung's Agentic AI is being engineered to evolve into an ambient, anticipatory, and highly personalized AI engine embedded securely within a broad array of Galaxy and connected devices, fundamentally changing how users interact with technology [1][2][3][4].
The first generation of Galaxy AI tools launched on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. Now, all recent Galaxy phones from the S22 onwards have Galaxy AI tools [4].
Some features like Audio Eraser and Natural Language Search won't work on older phones due to their requirement for speedy on-device AI that older NPUs can't deliver [4]. Galaxy AI tools extend to other Samsung devices like Galaxy Watches and Galaxy Buds [3].
Other notable features include Auto Trim, which slices out "highlights" from video footage to save time [4]. Now Brief offers personalized briefings based on relevant information, such as Energy Score, sleep summary, weather, traffic, calendar reminders, and timely Wallet passport data [3].
The Now Bar feature in One UI 7 integrates everyday actions and most-used apps into the lock screen, saving time by providing relevant pop-ups like live notifications, currently playing music, and Google Maps suggestions for the commute [3].
Samsung's Agentic AI will also bring the Instant Slow-Mo feature, allowing users to add slow motion to any video, even on older phones, by creating new frames using AI tricks [4].
It is unclear what will happen to Galaxy AI after 2025; Samsung has not clarified if certain tools will be placed behind a paywall or if features like the Now Brief or Gemini assistant will remain free [5]. However, every Samsung article or help page about Galaxy AI has the disclaimer that Galaxy AI features by Samsung will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices [5].
