- Many AI features offered for the Galaxy S25
- Updates include notification summaries
- The phones are expected to launch on January 22.
As the Samsung Galaxy S25 release date approaches (there’s an event on the calendar for Wednesday, January 22), we’ve got a better idea of some of the new AI features and tricks Samsung will introduce alongside the new hardware.
Yesterday we had an official teaser video from Samsung that promised that the Galaxy S25 would be a “true AI companion” and hinted that Bixby would be front and center, something that was also predicted in previous leaks.
In recent days and weeks, we’ve had some official and unofficial previews of what’s coming in terms of AI, and it looks like the updates could be substantial enough to leave Apple Intelligence and the iPhone 16 in the shadows.
Sketch-to-image improvements
We previously covered the Sketch to Image feature that’s part of the Galaxy AI toolset on the latest Galaxy phones – it lets you doodle a basic drawing and then have AI turn it into a proper work of art (and the results are pretty impressive). .
Now Samsung itself has teased a multimodal update for Sketch to Image with the arrival of the Galaxy S25 and One UI 7 (Samsung’s version of Android 15). That means you’ll be able to use voice commands and text prompts to further enhance your AI drawings.
Smarter notification summaries
Samsung will make the following three things possible with AI for notifications: 1. Prioritize conversations, 2. Summarize content, and 3. Automatically group notifications. #GalaxyAI #SamsungUnpacked #OneUI7 #OneUI @SamMobiles https://t.co/s7lFk1rQBvJanuary 14, 2025
The AI-powered notification summaries that appear as part of Apple Intelligence on the iPhone have been a bit hit and miss so far – some alerts don’t really lend themselves to being summarized and can end up being confusing and confusing.
However, Samsung is moving forward with its own version. According to tipster @GerwinvGiessen (via SamMobile), Galaxy AI will be able to prioritize the conversations that most deserve your attention, summarize notifications, and group notifications in a more intelligent way.
A new bar Now in One UI 7
Another new feature coming with One UI 7 and the Galaxy S25 is what Samsung calls the Now Bar. This is a pop-up window in the interface that provides contextual information for your day, such as weather forecasts and travel plans.
“It’s where you can control your entertainment, time your next best personal workout, get directions to your next meeting, or start communicating in other languages,” Samsung says. “Now, your phone won’t just ping you, it will power your lifestyle.”

Having teased “many new AI features” for the Galaxy S25, well-known tipster @UniverseIce also linked to a post detailing some of these features, and it looks like there’s plenty more to come, including unrumored features . still.
According to @AhmedQwaider888, Galaxy AI will improve video capture on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra by giving you more control over color and brightness, and making it easier to switch between different cameras while filming, with frame boost minimizing lag and stuttering. .
One year free of Gemini Advanced
We’ve already mentioned the improved Bixby AI that will appear on the Galaxy S25, but of course Samsung is a Google partner and the Galaxy S25 is an Android phone, and there’s a rumor that the phone will come with a year free. of Advanced Gemini.
The Advanced plan, which normally costs $19.99 / £18.99 / AU$29.99 a month, gives you access to newer features and more powerful AI models, compared to the standard Gemini apps and features which anyone can access.
