Samsung and Google to work together on AI for Galaxy and Android smartphones

Samsung and Google are collaborating to create and introduce new artificial intelligence applications for Galaxy and Android smartphones. Google wants to develop more AI features for the ecosystem after presenting Circle to Search. On May 14, during Google I/O, where Android 15 and its features will also be demonstrated, exciting developments might be revealed.

Rick Osterloh, the Senior Vice President, Platforms & Devices at Google shared an image on X (formerly known as Twitter) with TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. In the caption, he said, “Had a terrific conversation with TM and @SamsungMobile leadership. Our partnership has never been stronger. I'm thrilled about our collaboration on AI and the many opportunities ahead for both companies.”

Later, the official X handle of Samsung Mobile also reposted the image, highlighting that both companies are aligned over the vision of AI for the Android and Galaxy ecosystems. The smartphone maker also teased that they were building exciting AI features. Some of these could be revealed at the Google I/O event which will be held on May 14. During this event, the tech giant will also unveil Android 15 and the new features in the operating system.

Besides collaboration, both companies are also working on their AI-focused products and services. Samsung launched its Galaxy AI suite of features earlier this year for the Galaxy S24 series, which has now been expanded to more devices. Apart from Circle to Search, it added features such as Live Translate which allows two-way, real-time voice and live caption translations of phone calls. Samsung's AI-based photo editing tool Generative Edit and Chat Assist in Samsung Keyboard were also added through Galaxy AI.
