Samsung recently started rolling out One UI 7 to compatible devices with security updates to existing features, including additional theft protection. These will now also be available to even more devices, having  expanded across more Galaxy devices throughout the year[1].

Samsung is introducing new security updates to better protect users. One major update is Theft Protection – a multi-layered suite of features developed to help safeguard personal data.

Theft Protection builds on standard Android safeguards, which are effective where the thief doesn’t know the PIN.

Galaxy users can now enable a range of new security measures, including Identity Check. When enabled, these features offer additional protection if a device is stolen.  Working with the Find My Mobile feature, these new features may assist in locating your phone, making it difficult for others to access the information in your device. Whether online or offline, these features can give you some extra peace of mind.

Existing and updated features in Theft Protection include:

• Theft Detection Lock: When enabled, this feature detects abrupt motions generally associated with physical theft such as snatching and instantly locks the screen to stop unauthorised access.
• Offline Device Lock: The screen gets automatically locked if the device is disconnected from the network for an extended period. This feature can be used twice a day.

• Remote Lock:Users can lock their devices remotely using their phone number and a quick verification step. Remote Lock also allows users to regain control of their account and explore additional recovery options. To enable this feature, the device must be online and can be done by going to android.com/lock and enter their phone number. Feature can be used max twice a day.

Other features released on One UI 7 include:

• Identity Check: The ‘Safe Places’ feature requires biometric authentication for any changes to sensitive security settings, adding an additional layer of protection when a PIN may have been compromised.
  • Security Delay: A key component of Identity Check, it triggers a one-hour waiting period if someone attempts to reset biometric data.

These updated theft features are available on some compatible devices with One UI 7,  with future updates planned for even more Galaxy smartphones.

Further steps to take if your Samsung Galaxy device is lost or stolen

How to remotely lock your Samsung Galaxy device:

• Sign into Samsung Find using your Samsung account
• Select your phone on the left-hand side of the page, then choose Lost Mode in the device details section
• Create a PIN to unlock your phone if recovered, and enter it twice to confirm
• You will have the option to add an emergency contact and a custom message that will display on the locked screen (It’s recommended to skip this step to avoid sharing personal contact details)
• When you are ready, select the Lock button and verify your Samsung account to activate Lost mode
• If your device is recovered, you can unlock it using the PIN that was created when setting lost mode on your device

How to remotely delete data on your Samsung Galaxy device:

• You’ll see its current or last known location

Other remote features available: 

• Ring: Make your device ring even if it’s set to silent or vibrate
• Extend battery life: Activate power-saving settings to keep your device on longer and improve the chances of recovery

“The greatest innovations are a reflection of their users, which is why we evolved Galaxy AI to help everyone interact with their devices more naturally and effortlessly while trusting that their privacy is secured,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Galaxy S25 series opens the door to an AI-integrated OS that fundamentally shifts how we use technology and how we live our lives.”

Our Most Intuitive and Effortless Mobile Interactions Yet

With One UI 7[2], the Galaxy S25 series is a true AI companion that understands the context of your needs and preferences and provides personalised AI experiences with privacy controls at every turn. It’s the starting point of a shared vision with Google to imagine Android with AI at the core, bringing together developers and partners from around the world.

AI agents with multimodal capabilities enable Galaxy S25 to interpret text, speech, images and videos for interactions that feel natural. Upgrades to Google’s Circle to Search[3] make searching your phone screen more helpful, fast and contextual. Circle to Search now quickly recognizes phone numbers, email and URLs on your screen, letting you call, email or visit a website with a single tap.

With Galaxy S25 series, you can also perform actionable searches with context-aware suggestions for next steps. Plus, Galaxy S25 makes it frictionless to switch between apps for quick follow-up actions, like sharing a GIF or saving event details.

Galaxy S25 also represents a breakthrough in natural language understanding, making everyday interactions easier. Simply ask and intuitively find a specific photo in Samsung Gallery or adjust the size of display fonts in Settings.

Just press and hold the side button to activate Gemini and perform seamless interaction across compatible Samsung and Google apps, plus other compatible third-party apps such as Spotify. For example, find your favorite sports team’s season schedule and add it to Samsung Calendar – with a single command.

These intuitive interactions are elevated by expansions to Galaxy AI’s popular tools for communication, productivity and creativity. Galaxy S25 keeps calls organised with Call Transcript[4] and summary. Writing Assist features such as summarizing content or automatically formatting notes can be enabled where texts can be selected, without needing to switch between applications. Drawing Assist[5] unlocks fresh ways to bring ideas to life through combinations of sketches, text or image prompts.

Hyper-personalised Experiences with Privacy Secured

In the era of AI, personalisation goes hand-in-hand with privacy. On Galaxy S25, the Personal Data Engine[6] powers personalized AI features by safely analysing your data on-device to deliver highly tailored experiences that reflect your preferences and usage patterns. These insights enable tailored experiences such as searching for an old photo in the Gallery using natural language, or being guided through the day with Now Brief[7], which proactively offers suggestions accessible via Now Bar[8] on the lock screen. All personalised data is kept private and secured by Knox Vault. Combined with enhanced on-device processing capabilities, this creates a powerful, protected AI experience.

Because there is no privacy without holistic security, One UI 7 laid the groundwork for these innovations by introducing an extra layer of device safety designed for the age of AI and hyperconnectivity. Additional updates include added Maximum Restrictions settings, enhanced Theft Protection, and a new Knox Matrix dashboard to monitor the security status across a connected device ecosystem.

Galaxy’s Most Powerful Performance Ever

The Galaxy S25 series is powered by the Snapdragon^® 8 Elite for Galaxy. With unique customisations by Galaxy, this is the most powerful processor ever on Galaxy S series, delivering a performance boost of 40% in NPU, 37% in CPU[9] and 30% in GPU compared to previous generation. This power fuels the Galaxy S25 series’ ability to process more AI experiences on-device, including previously cloud-based AI tasks such as Generative Edit[10].

Samsung and Qualcomm Technologies worked together to customise the Snapdragon^® 8 Elite for Galaxy.  The Galaxy S25 series features advanced, efficient AI image processing with ProScaler[11] to achieve a 40% improvement[12] in display image scaling quality, while incorporating custom technology with Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) embedded within the processor using Galaxy IP to enable greater display power efficiency.

Snapdragon^® 8 Elite for Galaxy is also equipped with Vulkan Engine and improved Ray Tracing, which makes for smoother and more realistic mobile gaming.[13]

All intense device usage and AI processing run smoothly thanks to improved heat dissipation structure with 40% larger vapor chamber and a tailored thermal interface material (TIM) that delivers extra improvement in thermal efficiency.

Unleashing Truly Pro Creation

The Galaxy S25 series delivers ultra-detailed shots at virtually every range with high resolution sensors and ProVisual Engine, setting a new standard for mobile photography. With a new 50MP Ultrawide camera sensor upgraded from the previous 12MP, Galaxy S25 Ultra provides exceptional clarity and vibrancy.

10-bit HDR recording is now applied by default, offering four times richer color expression compared to 8-bit. Galaxy S25 can thus capture details in virtually any lighting conditions. Plus, low-light videos have never been clearer than with Galaxy S25[14]. Based on powerful processor, Galaxy S25 analyzes movement and time to reduce noise more effectively. This integration allows detecting both moving and static objects with greater precision, ensuring sharper, cleaner footage in virtually any scenario.

Galaxy S25 also introduces a range of tools once limited to specialised software, making advanced editing accessible for all. Now anyone can be a pro at editing photos and videos. Audio Eraser[15] simplifies the removal of unwanted noise in videos. By isolating categories of sounds – including voices, music, wind, nature, crowd and noise – you can control what to tone down.

For a DSLR-like experience on mobile, Galaxy S25 introduces depth-of-field control with Virtual Aperture, integrated into the popular Expert RAW[16]. Galaxy S25 also elevates cinematic creativity with Galaxy Log, enabling precise color grading options for more professional video production.

Portrait Studio[17] has also been enhanced, allowing users to create personalised avatars with more true-to-life facial expressions. Filters introduces new analog-style filters, delivering film-like aesthetic for their photos and videos.

Durable Design Embracing a More Circular Approach

The Galaxy S25 series builds upon Galaxy’s ‘Essential Design’ grounded in ‘Simple, Impactful and Emotive’ elements. Galaxy S25 Ultra refines this essence into the slimmest and lightest Galaxy S series yet, with a rounded edge for a comfortable grip that complements the series’ aesthetic identity.

Galaxy S25 Ultra features titanium and Corning^® Gorilla^® Armor 2 helping to ensure every day performance.[18]

Combined with seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates[19], the Galaxy S25 series ensures a reliable and optimised performance over a longer lifespan.

For greater peace of mind, Samsung Care+ offers comprehensive benefits such as Mobile Refresh or a device swap, ensuring added comfort for Galaxy users.

The Galaxy S25 series will be available for pre-order from 23 January and will be in stores from 14 February Galaxy S25 Ultra will be available[20] in Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Black, Titanium Whitesilver and Titanium Gray. Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will be available in Navy, Silver Shadow, Icyblue and Mint.

For more than a decade, people all over the world have consistently enhanced their productivity and creativity by turning to Galaxy smartphones. Chief among them, the Galaxy S Ultra series, which is built on a legacy of innovation of our Galaxy Note series has become synonymous with boundless creativity and is loved by countless Galaxy fans.

With its incredible power, expansive screen and iconic S Pen, Galaxy S Ultra is renowned for helping people seamlessly follow their inspirations or capture ideas anytime, anywhere – even without unlocking the phone and digging for a note-taking app.

Creativity Like Never Before

Last year, Samsung introduced Galaxy AI[1], ushering a new era of mobile experiences. This ground-breaking technology helped the Galaxy S Ultra series evolve into an even more indispensable tool for maximising creative freedom. And now, your creativity is about to reach new heights.

Sketch to Image[2], now integrated into Drawing assist, is evolving. Utilising more than a single input, like drawing with S Pen or your finger, it is becoming a multimodal experience. Now you can breathe life into your ideas by sketching them, writing out a description of the image you want with text, or using a photo on from your Gallery. If you can envision it, Galaxy AI can help you create it.

Let’s say you want to really let your imagination run wild. You can draw a cat using S Pen and then, with multimodal Galaxy AI, you can type a “spacesuit” to put your cat in a space suit and visualise it in outer space. Or maybe you’re thinking about your dream home. Using S Pen, you make a quick drawing of the façade. But maybe you’re not sure where you want your dream home to be. Simply type some possible locations, like “by the beach” or “in the mountains” and Drawing assist will help you see your future home in a new light.

From Note to Ultra and Beyond

This level of creative freedom is built on a legacy of innovation that began in 2011, when we introduced the Galaxy Note to redefine what was creatively possible on a smartphone. That power and spirit of innovation lives on through the Galaxy S Ultra series, and it continues to evolve with Galaxy AI.

With One UI 7, Samsung’s first integrated AI platform, your phone will become a true AI companion that understands natural language[3] through text and speech, as well as images. It will be a new standard of multimodal mobile AI that enables incredible creativity. But this is just a preview. Tune into Galaxy Unpacked at 5am AEDT January 23, to see how the next Galaxy S series can truly unleash your creativity.

A few weeks ago, we launched the One UI 7 beta program[1]. It marked the start of a new era with the first AI-integrated operating system, a true AI platform that vastly improves mobile experiences for users through unprecedented personalisation.

Galaxy’s approach to AI personalisation, from our launch of the first AI-powered smartphone to our continuous innovation of on-device AI, is to never compromise on privacy. We know you want the benefits of a mobile AI that truly understands you. You want a phone, tailored to your lifestyle, that adds to what you can do while removing everyday barriers – all with minimised risk of personal information being misused.

In anticipation of the next standard-setting Galaxy S series smartphones, we’re giving Galaxy users greater peace of mind alongside greater personalisation. That’s why we’ve created the Personal Data Engine, a powerful privacy advancement that ensures on-device, cross-app personal data protection.

Personalised data is stored in a secure space, carefully safeguarded by an encryption key that’s managed by Knox Vault. That’s the same trusted platform used to secure the most sensitive information on your smartphone, such as your biometric data. As an added layer of protection, post-quantum cryptography future-proofs the security of your data against rising quantum computing threats.

[Image created for illustrative purposes only]

On this fortified foundation of privacy, we’re opening up more possibilities for mobile experiences tailored to your life, only with Galaxy.

One defining element of One UI 7 is Now Bar, which gives personalisation a new meaning by seamlessly integrating your everyday actions and most-used apps into your lock screen. It’s where you’ll be able to control your entertainment, time your next ‘personal best’ workout, get directions to your next meeting, or start communicating in other languages.

Now Bar will be an access point for the most comprehensively insightful experiences ever on Galaxy. Now your phone won’t just ping you, it will help power your lifestyle.

Imagine you’re packing for a trip from Seoul, Korea, to San Jose, California. While you get ready, your phone offers a prompt to create a folder of your most commonly used apps for quicker access. To help make sure you don’t miss your flight, it lets you know when it’s time to leave for the airport. It can even provide a curated travel playlist to set the mood for your long flight.

With a single swipe, you can access the weather forecast – no need to search or check various apps. Throughout your trip, you capture the magic of each moment on your phone, and as each day winds down, it helps you relive the highlights.

Morning and night, Galaxy AI[2] will help keep you both informed and inspired with actionable tips and recommendations[3] uniquely tailored to your life. Game-changing personalisation with privacy you can trust. This is the next evolution of Galaxy AI.

[1] The One UI 7 beta program was first available for Galaxy S24 series devices in Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the UK, and the US, from December 5. Galaxy S24 series users can apply to join the beta program via Samsung Members.
