- Samsung is set to add new AI features to its upcoming Galaxy S25 series phones.
- There’s the Now Brief feature that integrates into the Now Bar and shows you summaries from different apps throughout the day.
- Galaxy phones could also adopt a deeper Gemini integration for personalized assistance.
The launch of the Galaxy S25 series is scheduled for January 22 and a lot about the phones has already leaked. Another major leak today suggests the phones will integrate Gemini much more deeply compared to other Android devices. We’re talking about new features that use Gemini to give users a more personalized experience. And then there are a few more leaks that we mostly already know.
Leaked first by tecnoblog , some of the new features debuting in the Galaxy S25 series are Now Brief and a deeper Gemini integration. According to the images, the Now Brief feature will reside in the One UI 7 Now Bar and will show you the summaries from different apps at specific times of the day.

Earlier this month, Samsung showcased an improved Bixby experience , and we were hoping it would debut in the Galaxy S25 series. It’s surprising to see Samsung choose Google’s Gemini over Bixby.
The leak also suggests that users will be able to trigger Gemini with the Hey Gemini command . The text in the image translates to “ List the places mentioned in this video and save in notes “. This suggests Gemini will integrate deeply with Samsung apps as well, just like Pixels do with the Google Workspace suite.

We also have a detailed look at specifications that are part of this leak. The Galaxy S25 will feature a 50 MP primary camera, a 10 MP Telephoto, and a 12 MP Ultra-wide. The front camera is a 12 MP unit. The 4900 mAh battery is probably the S25 Plus’ specification and then there’s the “Most powerful processor for Galaxy”. The image also contains Galaxy S25 Ultra’s specifications, which have leaked several times before.

- Apple and Google have officially confirmed their team-up for the next-gen Siri AI.
- The Cupertino Giant will be using Google’s Gemini for a more personalized Siri model as well as Apple Intelligence features.
- We can expect the next-gen Siri to come out with iOS 26.4, sometime in March or April.
Apple has officially confirmed joining forces with Google to use its Gemini AI model to power the next-generation Siri. It will offer a more personalized experience and will be coming out with the iOS 26.4 update. Apple also plans to leverage Gemini’s capabilities for other Apple Intelligence features as well, later down the line.
The Next-Gen Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini AI
Apple officially confirmed that it will be partnering with Google in a statement to CNBC . Here’s what it stated, “After careful evaluation, we determined that Google’s technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models, and we’re excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users.”
Later, Google also shared a post on X confirming the tie-up, “Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google’s Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.”

Both statements clearly mention that the Cupertino Giant will be using Gemini to power its assistant Siri. This was already rumored, as Apple’s attempts to acquire Perplexity went nowhere. With Gemini, Siri will get a major AI update . It will be able to handle more nuanced conversations and provide better results. Something long-time Apple users have been asking for years.
The next-gen Siri will arrive with the iOS 26.4 update, which will launch sometime in March or April. And it is only going to be available for Apple Intelligence-supported devices .
Something else worth noting is how Google’s statement mentions that Gemini will power Apple Intelligence features. This leads us to believe that Apple could use Gemini’s multi-modal capabilities for its Writings tools , Image Playground , and Message summaries, too.
Elon Musk Not Happy With Apple and Google Tie Up
xAI CEO Elon Musk also responded to Google’s announcement post on X, sharing his thoughts on the matter by saying, “This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome.” Though we don’t expect either Apple or Google to respond to Elon, we will update the situation as it progresses.
It is worth noting that xAI is the company behind Grok, which is in hot water currently due to its inappropriate image generation fiasco , and has been getting backlash from multiple news outlets, X users, and even government authorities.
