Samsung One UI 5.1 should implement Android 13’s Clipboard popup
Samsung One UI 5.0 is great and it brings so many new features, revamped user interface, smoother animations, and other improvements to the Galaxy devices. But there are still some features I wish to use on my Samsung Galaxy. For example, I like the Clipboard popup feature of Android 13 and it would be nice if Samsung implements it with the upcoming One UI 5.1 software.
Google newly brought the Clipboard function for Pixel users driving Android 13 software. It is exactly what it sounds like, it allows users to edit copied text and images before sharing them. The best use I’ve found for this feature is editing ridiculously long URLs I want to share with others.
This makes various tests easy on your phone as well as saves time. Some other features of the Android 13 Clipboard Popup are as follows:
Edit text/images in Clipboard –
Whenever you copy any text or image in Pixel’s Android 13, you will see a bubble in the bottom-left corner. Once you tap on it, it will open Android 13’s clipboard editor.
The copied text will appear to let you add or remove text as per your requirement. You can then paste the edited text wherever you want using the ‘Paste’ button. Meanwhile, if you have copied an image, you can crop it, add text to it, or draw on the image.
Share items in Clipboard –
On One UI 5.0, whenever you copy a text or image, you have to open the app first and then paste the copied content into it. But the Android 13’s Clipboard popup makes sharing items easy and convenient.
On Android 13’s Clipboard, you can paste the copied text or image into an app using the ‘Share’ button without opening the app.
Take action on data in Clipboard –
When you copy a text having a number, address, or email, the clipboard bubble, the Android 13 Clipboard will show a shortcut to the app that can open the copied text. For example, Maps for addresses and the Phone app for contact numbers.
Samsung One UI 5.1:
Samsung will introduce the new version of its current Android 13-based One UI 5.0 with the Galaxy S23 series phones in early February 2023. One UI 5.1 will obviously bring plenty of new features and I really wish to get this wonderful Clipboard popup feature for my Samsung Galaxy with this upgrade.

Samsung could launch the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone next year. The company has collaborated with LG Uplus to develop a custom smartphone. The device is said to feature Galaxy AI and LG Uplus’s AI call assistant ixi-O.
Sources citing KEDGlobal revealed that Samsung and LG Uplus working together to develop the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone. It’s a big development in the smartphone industry, while the handset is highly likely to be Korea-limited.
Samsung fans are well aware of the Galaxy AI feature suite. ixi-O is an AI-powered digital assistant developed by Korean carrier LG Uplus. The company plans to enter the smartphone market, featuring its own-developed AI assistant.
The report indicates that Samsung and LG Uplus’ ixi-O AI Phone will launch as early as next year. The development project focuses on crafting a “real AI phone” that goes beyond simply integrating AI assistant services into a smartphone.
ixi-O comes with useful features such as AI call answering, detecting voice phishing in real-time, recording and summarizing phone calls and converting voice conversation into text – all within an on-device environment.

Based on specifications, the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone will be based on a Galaxy phone available globally. The design will match with a global Galaxy smartphone, but the software may be tweaked as per the carrier’s requirements.
A custom Galaxy phone isn’t shocking or impossible in South Korea. Samsung releases Quantum, Buddy, and Jump-branded phones in the market. The company collaborates with Korean carriers to bring these devices to mainland Korea.
The carrier introduced an on-device AI-powered ixi-O assistant earlier this month. LG Uplus will initially target its consumer base for the new AI Phone. However, the AI Assistant may be expanded to a broader audience across Korea.
Samsung could use Gauss2-based Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The company’s next-gen Generative AI model is 1.5 to 3x faster than the first-gen Gauss model. The DX division is already using Gauss2 to ramp up internal productivity.
Gauss2 offers improved performance and efficiency in simultaneously handling various data types. In the previous article, we’ve demonstrated its three distinct models that cater to different purposes: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme.
Samsung says the second-gen Gauss model offers equal or superior performance in response generation than leading open-source generative AI models. That said, the Galaxy AI will become faster and smarter with the inclusion of Gauss2.
Thanks to faster processing speed, Gauss2 enables quicker AI response generation. This way, the Galaxy user won’t have to wait much time. The company stated that it will continue to expand the reach of its AI-based services across all product lines.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to boast Gauss2-based Galaxy AI. This upgrade will result in even faster processing of tasks and execution. Features like composition, image generation, and translation would benefit from Gauss2.
Earlier, we broke the news that Samsung is crafting an advanced AI technology. The Gauss2 press release indicates that the future Galaxy AI iteration could be integrated with knowledge graph technology to offer relevant results.
The Galaxy S24 series also uses Google’s Gemini Nano AI model. The fruitful collaboration offers futuristic capabilities on Galaxy devices. Samsung is rumored to use an enhanced version of Gemini Nano across the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s development may have indulged Gauss2 capabilities on the Galaxy S25 series. Integrated with new processors and optimized software, the company’s AI model would offer faster, reliable, and smarter results.
