Samsung users, get ready for Gemini AI on your Wear OS-powered Galaxy Watch. Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed that Gemini will be expanding to a range of devices, including tablets, cars, headphones, and watches.

Google has upgraded Android phones with its AI-powered Gemini Assistant. It has replaced the famous Google Assistant on compatible Android devices. Now, Google is looking for segmental expansion for its Gemini chatbot.

Currently, Google Assistant is still available on smartwatches, Android Auto, smart displays, and more. As the official confirmation is here, we can expect Gemini replacing Google Assistant on devices sequentially by the end of the year.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai used the firm’s Q1 2025 earnings call to announce Gemini’s expansion:

“We’re upgrading Google Assistant on mobile devices to Gemini, and later this year we’ll upgrade tablets, cars and devices that connect to your phone, such as headphones and watches” – Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

Gemini for Wear OS just got official confirmation, but clues first appeared on the web earlier this year. Back in January, Android Authority found that Gemini is under development for smartwatches running Wear OS.

The revelation also shed light on a handful of aspects, such as how Gemini would work on smartwatches. Google is expected to tease or drop hints at the functionality on Wear OS at the I/O 2025 event scheduled in May 2025.

One UI 7 marks Samsung’s best upgrade and the worst rollout. The official release has just begun for select models, with completion expected by July. The One UI 7 update delay may have also hampered Android 15 numbers.

Google released the Android distribution share earlier this month. The revised data now mentions Android 15, while Android 14 is the most widely used version. There’s a lack of specific month data, yet let’s figure out the difference.

Android distribution data, reported through Android Studio, shows Android 15 on just 4.5% of devices as of early April 2025. Meanwhile, Android 14 powers 27.4% of devices, making it the most widely used version.

Back in May 2024, Android 13 led with 20.9% of devices, while Android 14, the latest at the time, was on 13%. This shows Android 14’s growth over the past year, but Android 15’s slow start stands out, probably due to delayed One UI 7.

Samsung’s Android 15-based One UI 7 update rollout faced significant delays. Google released Android 15 last October, but Samsung’s Beta only began in December. The Stable rollout didn’t start until mid-April 2025 for the latest flagships.

With over 50 Galaxy models set to get One UI 7, the staggered schedule may have kept Android 15’s numbers low. By July 2025, Samsung expects to complete the One UI 7 rollout. As more devices update, Android 15’s share would grow.

Samsung is reportedly considering holding an Unpacked event in early July to introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, with the venue under consideration being NYC (New York), USA.

According to Korean media, Samsung may launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 at early July Unpacked in NYC, US. The company appears to be returning to New York for the Unpacked event amid rising risk from President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.

Recently, it was revealed that Samsung America has donated $350K to the Trump inauguration committee. The company has donated over triple the amount it contributed for the same purpose in the first term of President Trump.

If Unpacked happens in New York, it will mark the first time in three years, since 2022. At present, the company is preparing to finalize the NYC as the Unpacked venue, where it will introduce several products, including foldable phones.

An industry insider familiar with Samsung’s plans said, “In recent years, second-half Unpacked events have been held in cultural hubs like Seoul in 2023 and Paris last year. This time, it’s set to return to New York, the quintessential cultural city, after three years.”

The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. In terms of design, the devices would be sleeker and lighter. The next Flip phone will have a Moto Razr-like cover screen, the biggest ever in Samsung’s history.

In a major shift, Samsung would introduce Android 16-based One UI 8 with the Z7 series. The company is aligning the new One UI debut with Google’s timeline, giving its foldables another edge over bar-type phones for a sales jump.

In addition, the Galaxy Z7 series models are highly likely to uplevel Galaxy AI capabilities, optimizing them for both vertically and horizontally folding smartphones, creating synergy between hardware and software.

A new report says Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge on May 30 in the US. It will follow the initial reveal in South Korea, which is scheduled for May 13. Pre-order dates and expected pricing details are also revealed.

Samsung first teased the Galaxy S25 Edge back at January’s Galaxy Unpacked 2025, alongside the S25, Plus, and Ultra models. It also turned heads at Mobile World Congress in March, flaunting that ultra-thin design.

According to FNNews, Samsung will reveal the S25 Edge on May 13, 2025, via a low-key online event, not the big Unpacked show from January. The device could cost $1,099–$1,199 in the US, or 1.5–1.63 million KRW in South Korea.

The Galaxy S25 Edge will go on sale first in South Korea and China on May 23, with pre-orders from May 14–20. At the May 13 event, Samsung will reveal the Galaxy S25 Edge’s specifications, colors, and pricing.

That said, the Galaxy S25 Edge would launch in the US on May 30, following the Korean release. This move is seen as an effort to outpace Apple, which plans to launch the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air in September, in the race for thinner phones.

Galaxy S25 Edge Features and Specs

At just 5.84mm thick, the Galaxy S25 Edge is the slimmest Galaxy S phone yet. Its titanium frame feels premium, and the ceramic back adds durability. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, with 120Hz refresh, rivals the S25 Plus.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite processor powers this flagship phone and handles gaming and apps like a champ. With 12GB RAM and 256GB or 512GB storage, it runs One UI 7 on Android 15, keeping things smooth and snappy.

The S25 Edge rocks a 200MP main camera for crisp, detailed shots. It skips the telephoto lens for a slim build, pairing the main sensor with a 12MP or 50MP ultrawide, plus, it reportedly features a 12MP front camera for selfies.

On January 13, Samsung US donated $315,000 to the inauguration committee of President Donald Trump. Newly released Federal Election Commission data revealed significant contributions from South Korean and global tech giants.

According to KoreaTimes, Samsung Electronics donated a huge $315,000 to the Trump inauguration committee through Samsung Electronics America. This followed a $100,000 contribution to Trump’s 2017 inauguration.

Amazon, Nvidia, Google, and Meta are each donating $1 million. AI companies like Perplexity AI and chipmakers Micron and Qualcomm matched this amount. Apple CEO Tim Cook and OpenAI’s Sam Altman gave $1 million personally.

The record-breaking donations reflect efforts by global businesses to align with the new administration, especially amid Trump’s proposed tariff policies affecting industries like semiconductors and automotive.
