Future Galaxy AI Feature May Kill Your Phone’s Settings Page
Future Samsung phones may use AI to replace frequent visits to the Settings menu. The phone could anticipate, learn, and alter aspects of the device without you needing to dig through various options and menus to make it operate the way you want.
Samsung has already pushed AI functionality as a selling point on its smartphones through Galaxy AI. However, these features focus on summaries, translations, notes, and photo editing. By using AI to change the phone’s operation through learning our preferences or anticipating our needs during tasks, Galaxy AI may take a far more active role in our phones, should several reports prove accurate.
According to a report from a South Korean business publication, Samsung is exploring this new AI feature within the keyboard and camera on its phones at this stage. However, details on how it will work or what the AI will be able to change have not been revealed. It’s possible the keyboard may automatically change languages or enhance its ability to generate messages and writing styles. Meanwhile, the camera may activate different filters or set timers based on circumstances, which are actions that currently require accessing different menus.
Smartphones already adapt to our environments automatically with features like auto-brightness, enabled by ambient light sensors. We can also use voice control to activate different features without digging into various settings menus. But it’s easy to miss specific features simply because we don’t know they exist or because they are buried in large, congested menu pages. If AI could learn how we use our phones, particularly in the early stages, and introduce different features that may improve our experience without us needing to prompt it, it could prove very helpful.
This is not the first time we’re hearing about Samsung’s big plans for its mobile AI future. Samsung’s Head of Customer Experience, Patrick Chomet, said his dream for Galaxy AI was a scenario where he “didn’t need to go to Settings.” He shared this in an interview earlier this year, where he also stated he wanted the accessibility menu to be a thing of the past because “AI intelligently adapts to me and my needs.” Samsung Mobile’s Head of Business, TM Roh, wrote that the company is “only getting started” with AI, following the announcement of the Galaxy S24 series. These reports indicate interesting things may arrive in the future.
No timeline has been indicated for when this type of feature will arrive in the Galaxy AI suite. However, it’s expected that Samsung’s next major smartphone release will be the Galaxy S25 series sometime in early 2025.
