The current trend of integrating AI into smartphones started off with basic features such as text summarization, which is now heading towards the next level. South Korean publication ETNews suggests that Samsung is working on an AI-powered system that will replace the ‘Settings’ app on Galaxy devices (at least smartphones) altogether.
The system will predict what users want in advance by analyzing the interactions in real time. Then it can assist the user in quickly making the changes without entering the app.
While it sounds a bit futuristic, nearly all smartphone makers have been moving in this direction over the past few years. For instance, the camera opts for a completely different type of image processing when it sees a document instead of a landscape or a person. On-device AI recognizes the type of content you’re trying to capture and makes changes for you.
There are already several implementations of AI across different apps and UI skins that aim to make life easier for you. Speaking of Samsung, they are aiming to enhance the user experience even further with a much deeper integration of AI in its OneUI skin, and the latest development is in line with its core strategy.
It’s been a long time since smartphones have shipped with AI-powered voice assistants, however, the functionality is still limited. The smart assistants can only assist in relatively simpler tasks (such as setting an alarm) and lack key controls of the device. Will the latest development offer a much improved AI system that can process more complex tasks on its own? Well, only time will tell.
Some of the existing AI features in Galaxy devices
Samsung’s Galaxy AI already offers several helpful features including easier photo editing, interacting with people who speak a different language, and much more. The company’s improved “ProVisual Engine” assists the camera hardware in delivering clearer and more stable photos, even in low-light conditions.
On the other hand, the company’s AI-powered Note Assist feature has made note-taking and accessing information easier than ever.
While these AI-based features save time, they are still limited to certain apps or areas of the UI. However, Samsung’s ongoing development could improve its accessibility, offering a significant leap in the overall user experience.
