At a Samsung event in London last week, executives demoed the company’s new take on AI assistants. The headline news is that Gemini has effectively replaced Bixby as the default Galaxy phone AI, even kicking the latter out of the quick-launch home button.

Galaxy AI's multitasking and proactive suggestions is made possible Gemini's ability to work across apps. Gemini works with Samsung Calendar, Notes, Reminder, and Clock and third-party apps to perform tasks for the user without having to switch between apps.

Samsung Electronics on Wednesday unveiled its newest Galaxy S25 smartphones, powered by Qualcomm's chips and Google's artificial-intelligence model, hoping its upgraded AI features can reinvigorate sales and fend off Apple and Chinese rivals.

In any case, the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra are loaded with AI features, which Samsung says are more deeply integrated on both the hardware and software levels compared to last year’s phones.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra isn't about groundbreaking hardware upgrades but rather about software additions and making AI more contextual.

Commentary: "AI" has been a constant buzzword at tech events, but some of Samsung's latest offerings could prove to be quite helpful.
