Galaxy AI[1] on the Galaxy S26 series is designed to make those moments easier. By proactively working on your behalf, it cuts down on the steps needed, helping you get things done. It’s support that shows up at the right moment, so you can stay focused on the task at hand instead of bouncing between apps and managing every input.

What are the key Galaxy AI features on Galaxy S26 series?

On the Galaxy S26 series, Galaxy AI shows up across the tasks people deal with every day — making it simpler to plan, create, organize, share, and more. From context-aware suggestions that keep conversations moving to intuitive tools that help refine and organize visual content, Galaxy AI helps you stay in the flow.

Now Nudge[2] adapts to what’s on your screen and what’s already on your device to proactively suggest helpful actions at just the right time. Texting a friend about plans for a night out? When a date comes up in the chat, Galaxy S26 recognizes it, shows what’s already on your calendar for that day, and offers to add the event, all without switching apps.

And when someone asks for photos from your trip to New York,[3] Now Nudge can automatically suggest relevant images from the Gallery, so you can share in seconds instead of searching through albums. It can even pull up saved info across your device, like a list of cool bars you jotted down in Samsung Notes — no need to dig through the relevant apps, Galaxy S26 takes care of the extra steps for you.

For step-by-step instructions on how to experience these Galaxy AI features, watch here.

Galaxy S26 can take care of multi-step tasks behind the scenes, making everyday moments feel easier. Through natural interactions, Google Gemini can search and complete complex actions seamlessly across apps. If you’re running late to meet friends, simply long-press the side button and ask Gemini[4] to order a taxi to your destination — it will open the app and prepare the ride for you to approve. It offers an early look at what agentic AI can do, completing routine tasks in the background so you can offload the busywork.

Galaxy cameras have always made it easy to capture fantastic photos. With Galaxy S26, the upgraded Photo Assist and Creative Studio[5] make editing and customizing content just as seamless.

Photo Assist now supports natural language editing, allowing you to make edits by simply saying what you want to change, without technical terms, specialized tools, or editing expertise. Maybe you’re framing the perfect dinner shot, but your friend takes a bite before the photo happens. Ask to restore the missing bite, and Photo Assist fills it back in. Or if a landscape photo looks great but you want a moodier feel, ask to shift the scene from day to night. You can review changes as you go and jump back to any earlier stage whenever you want, making the process even easier.

Accessible from the Edge Panel, Creative Studio brings your ideas to life in one simple space, turning a sketch, photo, or prompt into polished visuals — like funny stickers for a group chat, or a wallpaper that reflects your style. Once you generate a result, you can keep editing or share it right away without switching tools, so your creative rhythm stays uninterrupted.

Create custom stickers in an instant with Creative Studio.

Galaxy AI also helps you stay organized and handle everyday documents with less hassle. Got paperwork that can’t wait? Document Scan is built right into the Camera app. Imagine you’re at a doctor’s office and a form needs to be filled out by a family member — you can scan it and send them a clean digital copy instantly. Galaxy S26 recognizes the document, removes distortions and distractions such as creases or even a finger in the corner. If there are multiple pages, they can be combined automatically into a single PDF, just like that.

Quickly scan multiple pages and save them as a single PDF with Document Scan.

Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S26 series is built to handle the little steps that chip away at your time throughout the day. By reducing the effort behind everyday tasks, it makes each interaction feel more intuitive. The result is a phone that adapts to you and works with you — so you can spend less time managing the process and more time enjoying the moment.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced that it will unveil its latest kitchen appliances lineup at CES 2026, including the latest iterations of its Bespoke AI refrigerator, over-the-range (OTR) microwave, and slide-in range[1][2] at CES 2026. Alongside refreshed designs across the lineup, the company will highlight meaningful improvements to vision-based AI functionality enhanced with Google Gemini and Google Cloud, showing how these innovations simplify everyday tasks and elevate the overall kitchen experience.

“In pioneering the application of vision-based AI technology, Samsung has led innovation in the kitchen appliance market,” said Jeong Seung Moon, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D Team for Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will reach a new level of innovation through this collaboration with Google Cloud and will utilize these ongoing initiatives to continue to deliver better consumer experiences in the upcoming year.”

Introducing Samsung’s Latest AI Vision-Equipped Refrigerator

At CES, Samsung will present a new Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub[3], equipped with the upgraded AI Vision. The feature’s key upgrade is its functions built with Google Gemini, which marks the first time that it is being integrated into a refrigerator.

Previously, it could recognize up to 37 types of fresh food and 50 types of pre-registered processed food on-device.[4] The latest version ready to be unveiled at CES is built to unlock its existing limitations to recognize more food items, offering a comprehensive and flexible experience.

It is planned to even recognize processed foods without separate registration, automatically registering their names to increase convenience. Additionally, Samsung aims to make it detect user-labeled items, foods stored in personal containers can be added to the food list.

With ingredients being identified more accurately, managing the food list becomes clearer and easier than before, broadening people’s food-related experiences. At CES, Samsung plans to showcase the enhanced capabilities and new use cases of AI Vision, demonstrating the future of a truly personalized AI kitchen.

Enhanced Wine Management With the New Samsung Bespoke AI Wine Cellar

Samsung will exhibit the new Bespoke AI Wine Cellar[5], designed to incorporate an AI Vision built with Google Gemini similar to that of the Bespoke AI Refrigerator.[6]

When users store or remove wine bottles from the wine cellar, a camera positioned at the top of the unit will recognize the labels and tracks bottles, updating the SmartThings AI Wine Manager[7] accordingly. The system will also be able to distinguish the specific shelf and compartment where each bottle is placed, allowing users to easily check locations without searching manually. Through the AI Wine Manager, users will be able to look up wine information more conveniently and receive suggestions on pairings based on the type of wine in their inventory, making wine curation more intuitive and personalized.

Unified Kitchen Aesthetic With an Upgraded Stainless Look

Samsung is also introducing a lineup of French Door refrigerators[8], slide-in ranges and new OTR microwave models[9], offering consumers an updated aesthetic and a cohesive stainless-look option for creating a unified kitchen design.

The new Bespoke AI 3-Door French Door refrigerator[10] features a zero clearance fit, which can be installed with side gaps of approximately 4mm.[11] Additionally, its door depth has been reduced by 50mm compared to the conventional 3-Door model,[12] enabling full access to drawers and food items with the doors wide open.[13] The AutoView — a transparent door — allows users to easily check items stored in the fridge.

The upgraded slide-in range features a completely refreshed design with a stainless-look finish across the control panel, knobs and door. It adopts a new bar handle style, along with a Precision Knob that provides enhanced safety.

Samsung will unveil two different types of OTR microwaves: the Air-Fry OTR and the DualVent OTR. The most significant change comes from the revised hood structure of the DualVent model. Typically, the depth of a cooktop on the range extends farther than that of an OTR, making it difficult for the hood to capture smoke from the front burners. Samsung’s new dual vent system addresses this by adding a front ventilation wing in addition to the bottom ventilation, significantly improving the capture rate compared to the previous model.

Visitors at Samsung’s booth at CES 2026 will be the first to see these new innovations. Learn more about Samsung’s CES activities here.

[4] As of April 2025, AI Vision can recognize 37 food items like fresh fruits and vegetables. If the food is not recognizable, it may be listed as an unknown item. AI Vision cannot identify or list any food items in the fridge door bins or freezer. It recognizes food items based on deep learning models, which may be updated periodically to improve accuracy. AI Vision also recognizes packaged food items that have been saved by the user, and up to 50 items can be saved with designated names. Packaged items are limited to those that keep a certain packaged form.

[5] Product availability may vary depending on country

[6] The recognition functionality is only available for shelves with withdrawal capability. For wine input and output, the label must be exposed to the top camera for proper recognition. Additionally, the multi-pantry drawer provides food storage functionality, and information about the food items stored in these drawers is provided as a separate image.

[7] Available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required. Both devices must be signed in with the same Samsung account.

“With Galaxy XR, Samsung is introducing a brand-new ecosystem of mobile devices,” said Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Built on Android XR, Galaxy XR expands the vision for mobile AI into a new frontier of immersive and meaningful possibilities, allowing XR to move from concept to everyday reality, for both the industry and users.”

“Android XR is the first Android platform built entirely for the Gemini era, and we are incredibly excited to take a significant leap forward today with the launch of Galaxy XR”, said Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at Google. “Through our partnership with Samsung, Android XR will unlock entirely new ways to explore, connect and create, building an open, unified platform for the next evolution of computing.”

“Galaxy XR embodies our vision for the future, where the synergy of AI and XR transforms the possibilities of personal computing,” said Alex Katouzian, Group GM of Mobile, Compute & XR at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We’re thrilled to be collaborating on this initiative, as Galaxy XR will help to bring new use cases across various industries and pave the way for exciting multi-device experiences, all enabled by our work with Samsung and Google.

Designed to Unlock the Full Power of Multimodal AI

Galaxy XR is unlocking new possibilities with multimodal AI, transforming how people connect with the world through technology in their daily lives.

To bring Samsung, Google and Qualcomm’s vision for AI to life, Galaxy XR is the first product built on the new Android XR platform, which has Gemini embedded right from the start. With Gemini integrated at the system level, Galaxy XR doesn’t feel like a tool following users’ commands but a new type of AI companion that helps them manage their tasks, delivering natural and intuitive interactions through voice, vision and gesture. In the form of a headset, it understands users’ surroundings by seeing what they see and hearing what they hear. This allows Galaxy XR to respond in conversational ways that feel natural and human, giving users entirely new ways of interacting with technology.

Open Collaboration Brings a Scalable Android XR Ecosystem

As part of a long-term vision for XR, Samsung has built a new XR ecosystem in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, opening new possibilities for the industry.

Co-developed with Google and Qualcomm, Android XR is a powerful platform that puts AI at the center of the experience. It is designed to scale across a variety of form factors, from headsets to AI glasses and beyond, and Galaxy XR benefits from the strength of its open, scalable ecosystem. All apps built on the Android platform work out of the box[1] on Galaxy XR, ensuring users can enjoy familiar mobile experiences they already love and making the device as useful day-to-day as it is groundbreaking. Since the platform is built on OpenXR standards, it’s easy for developers using OpenXR, WebXR or Unity to bring their experiences to Galaxy XR — offering them more ways to scale and giving consumers more choices.

Discover, Work and Play Without Boundaries

Galaxy XR has been carefully engineered with a human-centric design to deliver long-term comfort. Through a combination of its shape, advanced materials and the structural optimization of each component, Galaxy XR achieves an optimal balance between lightweight design and robustness for daily use. The headset’s ergonomically balanced frame distributes pressure across the forehead and the back of the head, minimizing facial discomfort while providing steady support. The battery pack is separate from the headset, making the device more compact, light and comfortable to wear. Galaxy XR also features a detachable light shield, offering comfort when removed and deeper immersion by blocking external light when attached. These thoughtful innovations allow Galaxy XR users to fully engage in XR experiences with ease.

Galaxy XR opens entirely new dimensions of discovery, providing a wide array of experiences optimized for XR such as Google Maps, YouTube, Circle to Search and Google Photos.

• Travel and search with Google Maps: Users can use Gemini as a guide to navigate to any place on Google Maps and ask for personalized suggestions about nearby places while exploring the world in immersive 3D maps.
• Deep-dive into content with AI: Users can naturally ask Gemini to find content they want to see in YouTube and get more information about the video they are watching, unlocking richer learning and entertainment experiences.
• See more with video pass through and Circle to Search[2]: In pass through mode, users can see the physical world around them and draw a circle with their hand to instantly search for information about anything in front of them.
• Auto-spatialize videos and photos into 3D[3]: Bring photos and videos to life by converting 2D images into 3D, turning memories into immersive experiences or reimagining them in entirely new ways.

Thanks to its advanced sensors, cameras, and powerful hardware, Galaxy XR can precisely track users’ head, hand and eye movement and make these experiences truly immersive. The device’s microphones are strategically placed and supported by software to filter out external noises and capture the wearer’s voice clearly. Through Galaxy XR, users can explore both virtual and real worlds in XR-specialized apps using natural physical interaction, with assistance from Gemini.

Galaxy XR also opens new levels of immersion in entertainment[4] — including sports and gaming — with its powerful hardware and superior performance.

• Immersive viewing experiences: Users can stream their favorite shows on a 4K Micro-OLED screen that feels like a personal theater.
• Sports experiences: Sports fans can watch multiple games at the same time, feeling as if they are right in the stadium.
• AI-enhanced gaming experiences: While playing XR-specialized games, users can chat with Gemini for real-time coaching, tips and enhanced gameplay experiences.
• Create and edit in 3D: Project Pulsar from Adobe makes cinematic video edits easy—users can add 3D depth, and layer captions or icons behind subjects on a larger-than-life canvas.

Powered by Snapdragon® XR2+ Gen 2, Galaxy XR delivers next generation immersive experiences with visual clarity and advanced AI through the Qualcomm® Hexagon NPU[5]. Plus, 2.5 hours of battery usage time[6] enables users to enjoy their favorite content in total, uninterrupted immersion. Combined with its immersive sound and ultra-high-resolution displays, Galaxy XR places users at the center of extended worlds optimized for XR.

Samsung is also committed to meeting a wide range of use cases for enterprise needs such as virtual training in heavy industry and construction, including a partnership with Samsung Heavy Industries to utilize Galaxy XR for virtual shipbuilding training for work productivity and safety. We also partnered with Qualcomm Technologies to utilize their efforts with Snapdragon Spaces technology to tap into an Enterprise ISV ecosystem, giving developers the tools to bring their applications to Galaxy XR and create new opportunities for the enterprise world to adopt business solutions optimized for Android XR. Together, these collaborations bring enterprise-ready XR capabilities that enable advanced training, co-design of solutions and secure remote collaboration.

As part of its broader XR roadmap, Samsung is developing multiple form factors, including AI glasses. In collaboration with Google, Samsung is working with pioneering lifestyle brand Warby Parker, known for leveraging technology to create beautifully-designed eyewear and deliver exceptional customer experiences. At the ame time, Samsung is also partnering with Gentle Monster to bring stylish, fashion-forward eyewear that blends cutting-edge AI-native technology with cultural influence and design leadership. Seamlessly connected to the Android XR ecosystem, these devices will pair advanced XR capabilities with style, comfort and practicality, bringing boundary-free discovery, work and play into daily life.

Gemini generates a custom itinerary, complete with must-visit fan cafés and your personal favorite’s trainee-era hangouts, fueling your ultimate K-pop pilgrimage.

“Should I pack this T-shirt or a hoodie?”

Don’t know what to pack? Let Gemini suggest for you. Activate camera sharing on Gemini Live to hold up your outfit options and just ask Gemini what works best to get real-time advice. It will consider Seoul’s weather and the kind of exploring you’ll be doing. No more overpacking so you’ll have more room in your luggage to bring home all that concert swag.

Camera sharing on Gemini Live can translate the ingredient labels listed in Korean, sprinkling in emojis for context to help you know what you’re buying. Still overwhelmed? Ask Gemini:

“Recommend one for sensitive skin.”

Gemini cross-checks the ingredients and suggests a top 3 recommendation list tailored to you. You can check out like a skincare pro, not a confused tourist.

To put those capabilities to the test, Samsung Newsroom editors embarked on a special one-day tour across New York City — a photo spot itinerary curated by Gemini. The mission? Capture the magic of the city that never sleeps, one fold at a time.

▲ An itinerary of New York photo spots curated by Gemini

The Manhattan Skyline, Now in 200MP Glory

The journey began in Brooklyn, where the editors aimed to capture Manhattan’s stunning skyline across the East River in a single frame — bridges, boats and all — while preserving clarity, even at a distance zooming in.

Enter the first-ever 200MP camera on a Z Fold. From bridge cables to distant rooftops, every detail was rendered with striking precision. The ultra-high resolution allowed the team to shoot wide, then zoom in and crop while maintaining exceptional image quality. With the Galaxy Z Fold7, nothing is out of reach — even the subtlest parts of cityscapes, no matter how far the zoom.

No Selfie Stick, No Problem: 100-Degree Wide-Angle Selfies That Capture It All

What’s a New York adventure without a selfie — or ten? With the Galaxy Z Fold7’s 10MP 100-degree front camera, snapping the perfect shot becomes effortless.

Designed into the main display, this lens’ 100-degree field of view captures not just faces, but full scenes — whether it’s the Brooklyn Bridge or Central Park in the background. No tripod, no selfie stick — just a wide-angle perspective that turns every memory into a postcard.

▲ A wide-angle selfie with the Galaxy Z Fold7’s 100-degree main display front camera

Picture-Perfect Spots, Minus the Crowds

Next stop: Jane’s Carousel — a popular photo spot known for its vintage charm and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline.

Iconic landmarks are bound to be crowded, often making it difficult to capture a clean shot. But Galaxy Z Fold7 users need not worry. With the newly added Suggest Erases feature in Generative Edit, the device automatically detects people in the background and allows users to remove them with ease — no manual selection required. The results can then be reviewed side-by-side on a single screen for easy comparison.

As the editors explored the fashion-forward, trendy neighborhood of SoHo, a striking building stood out. What was it?

With Circle to Search, curiosity meets instant answers. A quick snap and circle gesture revealed everything there was to know. Whether it’s architecture, street art or a mystery object, traveling with the Galaxy Z Fold7 means never missing a beat.

Clear Sound, Even in Bustling New York

At Central Park, a street performance filled the air with music. Wanting to capture the buskers’ carefree energy, the editors recorded a video — but along with the music came unwanted background noise. Cue Audio Eraser.

With the AI-powered tool, the Galaxy Z Fold7 isolated the music, filtering out distractions like wind and nearby conversations. The result? A polished and immersive video, ready to be shared.

Night Video: New York Nights, Captured in Clarity

The day wrapped up where it began — by the East River at Brooklyn Bridge Park. This time though, Manhattan’s skyline shimmered under the moonlight, offering a dramatically different atmosphere.

Shooting videos in low light can be tricky, but the Galaxy Z Fold7 handled the scene with ease. Thanks to its default 10-bit HDR powered by the ProVisual Engine, highlights and shadows were rendered with lifelike depth and crisp detail — resulting in clean, noise-free footage.

One day in New York was enough to prove the Galaxy Z Fold7’s remarkable versatility. Its noticeably lighter design made all-day shooting effortless, while the spacious display allowed the team to seamlessly edit content on the go.

Powered by AI-driven innovations and designed with real-world-use in mind, the Galaxy Z Fold7 goes beyond the role of a smartphone. It’s a creative tool, a travel companion and a memory keeper.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today has revealed the full specifications of the Galaxy S25 Edge, a category-defining slim smartphone joining the Galaxy S series. Crafted with style and strength in mind, Galaxy S25 Edge strikes a new balance of premium, pro-level performance in a resilient titanium body only 5.8mm thick. S25 Edge delivers on the S series legacy, integrating an iconic Galaxy AI-enabled camera and unleashing a new realm of creativity in an effortlessly portable device.

“Galaxy S25 Edge is more than a slim smartphone. The superior engineering that brought this revolutionary smartphone to life illustrates a commitment to overcoming barriers that helps Galaxy deliver truly unexpected premium experiences for people around the world,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “S25 Edge not only marks a breakthrough for its category, but it also accelerates important innovation across the mobile industry.”

Exceptionally Sleek and Strong Design

With a thin 5.8mm chassis, Galaxy S25 Edge is a remarkable feat of engineering that reimagines nearly every element of smartphone design for an even more compact and convenient experience. Its refined frame bridges form and function at just 163 grams, taking slim smartphones to the next level while staying true to the Galaxy S series’ unified design.

Alongside its streamlined silhouette comes exceptional resilience. The optimally curved edges and sturdy titanium frame offer enduring protection for everyday use. The latest Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a new glass ceramic offering that delivers engineered resilience, is used for the front display to yield both vibrancy and strength on Galaxy S25 Edge.

Dynamic Creativity with a Pocketable 200MP Camera

The slim and light design of Galaxy S25 Edge makes it easier than ever for users to capture memorable moments and express their creativity anytime, anywhere. The 200MP wide lens upholds the Galaxy S series’ iconic camera experience while taking Nightography to a new level. Thanks to its ultra-high resolution, users get sharper photos while maintaining clearer shots with large pixel size —capturing images with over 40% improved brightness[1] in low-light environments. The 12MP ultra-wide sensor features autofocus, which powers crisp, detailed macro photography for even more creative flexibility.

Galaxy S25 Edge benefits from the same ProVisual Engine that was optimized for Galaxy S25 with pro-grade enhancements, like providing sharp details for clothes or plants and natural, true-to-life skin tone in portraits. Galaxy AI-powered editing features, including fan-favorites like Audio Eraser[2] and Drawing Assist[3] are all brought over from the Galaxy S25 series, pairing advanced creative and editing tools with a never-before-seen slim form factor.

Peak Performance Expertly Configured in Ultra-Slim Housing

Galaxy S25 Edge is built to deliver premium performance, starting with the Snapdragon 8 ® Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the same processor available in all Galaxy S25 series devices globally. Customized by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the chipset powers Galaxy S25 Edge’s on-device AI processing capabilities and offers reliably fast performance all day. Galaxy S25 Edge also keeps its cool under sustained use thanks to a reconfigured vapor chamber that is now thinner, yet broader for steady heat dissipation.

Matching the Galaxy S series’ renowned performance standards, Galaxy S25 Edge features advanced, efficient AI image processing with ProScaler[4], which delivers a 40% improvement[5] in display image scaling quality, while incorporating Samsung’s customized mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe).

A Trusted Companion with Galaxy AI

Integrating Galaxy AI at nearly every touchpoint, Galaxy S25 Edge offers our most natural and context-aware mobile AI experiences. Users get personalized, multimodal AI capabilities with peace of mind that their personal data is always safe.

Mirroring the broader Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy S25 Edge integrates AI agents that work seamlessly across multiple apps, helping as a true AI companion to get things done more easily. Galaxy AI also gets better at integrating with daily routines. Now Brief and Now Bar[6] include third-party app integrations for greater convenience and helpful reminders during everyday commuting, dining and more.

Thanks to Galaxy’s deep integration with Google, Galaxy S25 Edge brings Gemini’s latest advancements to more users. For example, with Gemini Live’s[7] new camera and screen sharing abilities, users can show Gemini Live what they see on their screen or in the world around them while simultaneously interacting with it in a live conversation.

Experiences powered by Galaxy AI on Galaxy S25 Edge aren’t just convenient—they’re designed with privacy at the core. On-device AI processing enables data to be secured by Samsung Knox Vault, continuing Samsung’s unwavering commitment to provide hyper-personalized mobile experiences while never sacrificing privacy.

Rooted in craftsmanship and driven by performance, Galaxy S25 Edge delivers pro-level photography, personalized AI experiences, and more. It goes beyond a slim form factor to challenge expectations for what a smartphone can be.

Availability

Galaxy S25 Edge will be available in a captivating range of colors, including Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack and Titanium Icyblue.[8]

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd and Google Cloud today announced an expanded partnership to bring Google Cloud’s generative AI technology to Ballie, a new home AI companion robot from Samsung. Available to consumers this Summer, Ballie will be able to engage in natural, conversational interactions to help users manage home environments, including adjusting lighting, greeting people at the door, personalizing schedules, setting reminders, and more.

“Through this partnership, Samsung and Google Cloud are redefining the role of AI in the home,” said Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “By pairing Gemini’s powerful multimodal reasoning with Samsung’s AI capabilities in Ballie, we’re leveraging the power of open collaboration to unlock a new era of personalized AI companion—one that moves with users, anticipates their needs, and interacts in more dynamic and meaningful ways than ever before.”

Ballie will use Gemini’s multimodal capabilities along with proprietary Samsung language models to process and understand a variety of inputs, including audio and voice, visual data from its camera, and sensor data from its environment. This will allow it to adapt its behaviors and responses in real-time. For instance, if you’re not sure what to wear to work in the morning, you can turn to Ballie for advice. Users could ask, “Hey Ballie, how do I look?” and Ballie can respond with styling recommendations, such as trying new accessories or adding a colorful shirt.

With enhanced reasoning enabled by Gemini, Ballie will be able to help users manage not only their home, but also their health and wellbeing. For example, a user could tell Ballie, “I feel tired today.” Ballie could then use Gemini’s grounding in Google Search to give tailored advice on how to improve their energy levels, including sharing recommendations from trusted sources on how to get more exercise, optimize their sleeping environment, or monitor their sleep patterns.

This partnership announcement builds on the successful integration last year of Gemini on Google Cloud into Samsung’s Galaxy S24 smartphone series. With Ballie, Samsung and Google Cloud are exploring how to bring their generative AI collaboration to a wider range of devices.

“With Gemini on Google Cloud, Samsung is demonstrating how to deploy generative AI at scale, integrating it directly into the heart of their popular products,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud. “This expanded partnership with Samsung underscores our commitment to delivering reliable, enterprise-grade AI that drives lasting value for our customers – and their customers.”
