The Galaxy S24 series comprises Samsung’s first AI-powered smartphones. The company then launched the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Tab S10 series as well as the Galaxy S24 FE. Samsung published a video in which experts discussed Galaxy AI and On-Device AI innovations.

With the “AI for All” vision, Samsung is setting new standards for next-gen devices through AI smartphones, TVs, and home appliances. On-Device AI enables AI to operate directly within the device without relying on servers or the cloud.

Let’s explore Samsung’s pioneering efforts in On-Device AI innovation.

There are several advantages of On-Device AI including the ability to use AI features with fast response times regardless of network connectivity, and enhanced privacy as personal data is not shared with external servers.

Samsung offers Galaxy AI, which has many on-device AI features, on flagship devices. Galaxy AI supports 20 languages, enabling seamless communication via features like Live Translate and Interpreter, and Browsing Assist.

A key challenge in on-device AI is developing models that are small enough to fit on devices but powerful enough to deliver the desired performance. Samsung has addressed this by focusing on AI training data for specific tasks.

Additionally, Samsung has patented a technology that enables fast inference on low-spec devices without NPUs. The company is also exploring speculative decoding to accelerate inference and techniques to enhance computational power.

By developing AI for its own devices, Samsung can combine in-house development with open collaboration to create hardware-optimized models. Samsung’s on-device AI is set to expand to more products and services, combining with various AI technologies.

Plenty of Samsung products are honored by the CES 2025 Innovation Awards. The company’s products and services have been recognized by the prestigious CES 2025 Innovation Awards, including four “Best of Innovation” winners.

CES 2025 is set to be held in January, and innovation awards show Samsung’s relentless commitment to pushing boundaries in consumer tech. Attendees of CES 2025 from January 7-10 will be able to see the full lineup of AI-powered products.

Beta Program intends to offer early access to software in development. Smartphone vendors usually conduct Beta testing activity of their new software skins. The purpose is to test the upcoming changes while they are under development voluntarily. Unsurprisingly, Beta builds have some functional issues and problems and Samsung One UI 7 is also rumored to have a buggy start.

According to IceUniverse, One UI 7 Beta may be buggy at the start. It’s not a concerning case as Beta firmware is only for testing purposes. Galaxy users don’t need to worry about it as Samsung already scheduled a public rollout in early 2025.

The tipster notes that the latest One UI 7 Beta build is ZXKB. It has bugs in animation that seemingly appeared in the final testing phase. Notably, the Beta Program hasn’t yet officially kicked off for any Samsung device.

One UI 7 Beta may not be launched smoothly, and there are too many bugs. Even in the latest version of XKB, there are still bugs in animation, and they are new bugs.
There are too many things that Samsung has fallen behind in recent years. It is very difficult for them to make up…

One UI 6 Beta had many issues related to animation and system fluency. The company took about two months to address severe problems. This time, things won’t be that bad as rigorous testing is already underway at Samsung labs.

It’s mid-November and Galaxy S25 series debut is rumored for late January. It’s officially confirmed that Samsung will introduce the One UI 7 during the Galaxy Unpacked. Later on, Galaxy consumers will start receiving the update.

One UI 7 – Peak customization

Samsung’s Android 15 update could bring heavy customization abilities. The sections of the Quick Settings panel could be positioned as per user convenience. The brightness slider and volume bar section’s position can be changed.

Good Lock will also be upgraded with improved modules and plugins. Home Up is rumored to come with an animation tuning feature. Galaxy users can apply iOS and stock Android-inspired animations through Good Lock.
