Samsung Expands Galaxy AI as Consumer Desire for Mobile AI Grows
Major commitment announced during Galaxy AI Forum at Galaxy Unpacked NEW YORK, July 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Samsung has today announced a major commitment to expand Galaxy AI to over 400 million devices globally by the end of 2025. This builds on its 2024 milestone of bringing Galaxy AI to more than 200 million devices, beginning with the Galaxy S24 series. Since launch, Galaxy AI has helped define a new era of mobile AI innovation – transforming what's possible on smartphones. Today, over 70% of Galaxy S25 users actively engage with a growing suite of AI-powered features developed in collaboration with Samsung and Google. Among these, Google Gemini has seen the most notable growth, with usage tripling across the latest Galaxy S series. Through close collaboration with Samsung, Gemini is deeply integrated across Galaxy devices – connecting with first-party apps to deliver helpful and personalised responses. Mindy Brooks, Vice President, Android Consumer Product & Experience, Google, said: "Through close collaboration with Samsung, Gemini works seamlessly across its devices and connects with its first-party apps to provide helpful and personalised responses. For example, Gemini's live video capabilities have been optimized for the Flip's front screen camera, and Gemini on Galaxy Watch leverages context from your phone." Consumers Are Turning to Mobile AI for Everyday Tasks One year on from the inaugural Galaxy AI Forum, Samsung is sharing new insights into how AI is transforming daily life. Research conducted with Symmetry Research reveals growing reliance on mobile AI and evolving expectations for more personalised, proactive features: 47% of consumers say their daily routines would be disrupted without AI tools such as personalised notifications, AI-powered search, and voice assistance. 45% now use voice commands as often as they type – highlighting a shift in how users interact with their devices. These trends point to growing demand for multimodal, intelligent, and intuitive AI experiences. Democratising Mobile AI for All Samsung's expansion of Galaxy AI to 400 million devices reflects its commitment to democratising the power and possibilities of mobile AI. Whether through intuitive voice features, on-device privacy, or cross-device intelligence, Samsung is building a future where AI is seamlessly embedded in the smartphone – the device that's always in your hand. Jisun Park, Corporate Executive Vice President & Head of Language AI Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, concluded: "Some see AI as the start of a 'post smartphone' era, but we see it differently. We're building a future where your devices don't just respond, they become smarter to anticipate, see, and work quietly in the background to make life feel a little more effortless."

Google reveals fresh Android and Wear OS redesign just days before I/O. Here's what's new
Just days before its big developer conference, Google has unveiled early versions of Android 16 and Wear OS 6 — and both are getting a serious design glow-up. At a separate virtual Android event, the company showed off 'Material 3 Expressive' — the most significant UI overhaul in years. It builds on the customizable 'Material You' aesthetic from 2021, adding even more personality, glanceability, and user-friendliness across devices. The fresh coat of design magic will roll out to select devices later this year, setting the tone for a more personal Android experience going forward. 'Material 3 Expressive is all about making UIs feel more human,' said Mindy Brooks, Senior Director of Android Platform. 'It brings a premium, joyful experience that's not just better-looking, but easier to use too.' Brooks says Material 3 Expressive brings 'fluid, natural, and springy' animations to the UI. So whether you're swiping away a notification or clearing an app from your recents, you'll feel smoother transitions — paired with a crisp little haptic buzz that makes it all the more satisfying. The new UI brings in Live Updates — a lock screen feature that gives you real-time info at a glance, from live match scores to Uber and food delivery updates. Google's also dialing up the visual polish with bolder type, dynamic colour themes, and more responsive elements across the board. Quick Settings gets more flexible, letting you prioritize actions like Flashlight or Do Not Disturb. Notifications are also revamped to ensure important alerts never get lost in the mix. What About Wear OS 6? The new fluid design language isn't just for phones — it's coming to smartwatches too. Wear OS 6 gets a UI refresh built specifically for round displays, making the experience feel more personal and intuitive. Expect better glanceability, colour theming, and elements that are easier to tap and navigate. Animations now follow the curve of the screen, with fluid scrolls and shape-shifting elements that add depth and improve accessibility. Dynamic color theming ties it all together — creating a seamless, consistent vibe from the watch face to every interaction. Buttons now 'hug' the edges of the display, making them easier to tap on the go. Tiles have been refined too — giving you quicker access to essentials like messages, workouts, or whatever you check most. Wear OS 6 is bringing solid performance boosts too, with up to 10% longer battery life, so you can get more from your smartwatch throughout the day. Both Android 16 and Wear OS 6 will roll out later this fall, starting with Pixel devices.

Google's Jellification of Android 16's Design Won't Please Everyone, but I'm a Fan
It's wiggly, it's jiggly and it's "expressive" -- if you're willing to use Google's preferred terminology. I'm talking, of course, about Android 16's new look, which comes courtesy of an overhaul to the company's Material Design language and was unveiled during the livestreamed Android Show on Tuesday. Whether it's a reimagined logo (which, as it happens, Google also did this week) or a radical redesign of a classic (I'm thinking back to Jaguar's Barbie-pink EV reveal), every design update to a popular brand or product is going to have its haters. I've been there too -- but not today. Today, I'm feeling giddy over the dynamism of Material 3 Expressive, in large part due to the springiness and bounciness of this new design. The UI overhaul is coming to the Android 16, Wear OS and Google's apps, bringing fresh colors, fonts and animations so your phone screen won't look like anyone else's. Android 16 is filled with nuanced animations like this one for the volume control. Jesse Orrall/CNET The personalization aspect of Android isn't anything new though. Unlike Apple's iOS operating system, which only embraced aesthetic variations back in 2020, Android has long been highly customizable. But this is the "biggest evolution of our design language in years," according to Google's vice president of product management and user experiences for Android, Mindy Brooks. Speaking during the Android Show, Brooks described how the "motion physics system" that powers Material 3 Expressive will provide a "soft haptic rumble" when you dismiss a notification. "When you start dismissing an app, the others huddle a bit closer, and if you let go, there's a nice cascading droplet effect," said Brooks. I think of this extra added movement as the jellification of Android, and one of the reasons I like it is that it shows just how far we've come. Ten years ago, when Google first introduced Material Design, phones weren't fast enough to react so smoothly and responsively to every tiny movement our fingers made as they danced across the screen. Even when the underlying technology could keep up, it wasn't capable of generating such silky graphics as a real-time response. Not everyone will appreciate Google's fresh take on UI design, but to me it's fun, fresh, fluid and, dare I say it, a little flirty. As well as breathing fresh life into phones old and new, it's also a reflection of how technology has evolved to keep up with us and the way we move through our digital worlds.
