Samsung’s Galaxy AI packs many intelligent features that help you with vacation planning. You may have been planning a holiday ahead of the Christmas celebration.
Whether you’re dreaming of snowy landscapes or tropical beaches, preparing for a trip can be as exciting as it is overwhelming and here Galaxy AI features take the experience to another level.
Galaxy AI comes with Browsing Assist, AI Composer, Note Assist, and more interesting features. Check out the most useful features of Galaxy AI for your long-awaited holiday trip:
Browsing Assist
There’s no doubt, planning a holiday trip means diving into limitless travel guides, listicles, and recommendations. The sheer amount of information can quickly become overwhelming.
Meanwhile, Galaxy AI’s Browsing Assist shrinks long content into bite-sized highlights, giving you the must-know details without the hassle of sifting through paragraphs.
AI Composer
AI Composer is an innovative feature that lets you type your message and select a tone or format for a polished finish. You can easily transform your words into formal, casual, or persuasive styles so you can nail that leave request.
Composer is integrated with your Samsung phone’s stock Keyboard app.
Note Assist
Galaxy AI’s Note Assist allows you to remember the key points from a meeting after returning from vacation. You can record your meetings and let Note Assist convert them into written notes.
Once returned, revisit key points and craft concise recap emails to continue your tasks smoothly. You can also optimize the structure of massive data, right from the Samsung Notes app.
These features are already available on select Galaxy phones with One UI 6.1. Samsung is crafting even more useful AI features that will be distributed as part of the One UI 7 update next year.
Samsung is rushing to secure its $6.4 billion subsidies under the US CHIPS Act. After Intel and TSMC, the Biden-led outgoing government finalized subsidies for a US-based firm, Micron.
On December 10, the US Department of Commerce announced that it would provide Micron with $6.165 billion in subsidies, the same amount as stated in the preliminary PMT signed in April.
Micron plans to use these subsidies to build semiconductor plants in New York and Idaho.
Samsung had agreed to invest $44 billion and receive $6.4 billion in subsidies. Meanwhile, Samsung and SK Hynix remain the only major companies yet to finalize their subsidy agreements.
Reports say South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are in final negotiations with the US government to secure subsidies under the CHIPS and Science Act before Trump takes office.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo previously stated that the goal is to allocate all subsidies before the end of this administration.
During his election campaigns, Donald Trump criticized the CHIPS subsidies introduced by Joe Biden. As Trump’s presidency nears, there’s a risk of cancellation of subsidies and increased tariffs.
Samsung plans to use the subsidy to build a semiconductor plant in Taylor, Texas. This foundry plant is expected to begin producing 2nm and 4nm products in 2026.
The foundry plant Samsung is building in the US relies heavily on securing customers. Given the current situation, it might not be easy to proceed with the investment as planned.
There is a possibility that the subsidies might decrease slightly from the one initially offered to Samsung. Intel has also agreed to receive $600 million less in subsidies than initially planned.

Samsung will hold this year’s second Global Strategy Meeting next week. Samsung is reportedly gathering executives to plan the Galaxy S25 series strategy for 2025 as well as risk management to seamlessly function all activities.
According to Chosun, Samsung may hold a Global Strategy Meeting from December 17 to 19, where plans for the Galaxy S25 series and risk management are said to be discussed.
The institutional sector for Samsung’s DX Division will hold a global strategy meeting on the 17th and 18th, while the institutional sector for the DS Division will meet on the 19th.
This isn’t a surprise meeting Samsung is preparing for, but it takes place every June and December. The timeline for these meetings aligns with the prior flagship launch to prepare a strategy.
Samsung will be gathering top global executives to share issues by business and regional categories. The meeting will discuss next year’s business goals and sales strategies for the upcoming flagships.
Han Jong-hee, head of the DX institutional sector (Vice Chairman), and Jeon Young-hyun, head of the DS institutional sector (Vice Chairman), are expected to lead the meetings.
Jay Y. Lee, Samsung Elec’s boss and chairman of the board, is unlikely to attend the meetings in person but will receive reports on business strategies later.
South Korea has recently witnessed a sudden martial law implication and quick revocation. It puts a sharp burden on Korean manufacturers as the currency is weakening over the USD.
Samsung will launch Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra early next year. The prices of these devices may be hiked due to increased exchange rates, resulting in additional material costs.
