Title: Samsung's Galaxy S25 Series Set to Outshine Apple's iPhone, According to Latest Reports
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 series smartphones are set to revolutionize AI capabilities, surpassing even Apple's offerings, according to a prominent tech insider. Ice Universe hinted at this in a recent post, saying, "Samsung Galaxy S25 will show Apple what leading AI is. Many new AI functions of S25 have not been leaked so far, which is very surprising to me."
Jan 07 Update: Samsung confirms an Unpacked event for January 22, echoing these AI-focused rumors.

Samsung is rumored to offer a free subscription to Google's Gemini Advanced AI platform, along with improvements to its own AI features. This could be a significant upgrade for current Samsung owners, especially considering the modest camera hardware improvements leaked for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Samsung's ambition to establish itself as the "undisputed leader in device AI" is evident from a statement made by Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman and CEO Jong-hee Han and DS Division Head Vice Chairman Young-hyun Jeon in an internal 2025 New Year's Address.

The new Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, expected to power the entire Galaxy S25 range, delivers a significant 45% AI performance improvement and better performance per watt. Some AI-powered camera enhancements promised by Qualcomm will likely improve the Galaxy S25 series cameras, even without substantial hardware upgrades.

The Galaxy S25 series is likely to debut a range of new AI features, perhaps including a highly customizable morning, afternoon, and evening briefing, multimodal AI agents, improved Circle to Search feature, seamless interactions across Samsung and Google apps, call transcript and summary, writing assist, drawing assist, enhanced ProScaler 12, post-quantum cryptography, and more robust on-device processing powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
These features aim to make the Galaxy S25 series a true AI companion, offering highly personalized and context-aware interactions. Pre-registrations for the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22 provide early access to "Reservation Gifts" and exclusive discounts for US residents.
