Here is what Ice said:
“I’ve seen animations in the initial version of One UI 5.0, and it’s really smoother, with different icons being opened continuously, the error rate is lower, the new animation doesn’t seem to jump very far, and the stickiness is stronger.”
Samsung One UI 5.0 will be based on Google’s Android 13 operating system. It will bring a lot of new features and changes for the Galaxy smartphone users and start rolling out, starting later this year. Just recently, we posted an early look article of One UI 5.0, which mentions various changes and upgrades, check it out here.
One UI 5 Beta
Samsung is reportedly preparing to start the Android 13-based One UI 5 Beta program for Galaxy consumers next week. If it happens, the Korean tech giant might also provide the Stable One UI 5.0 upgrade to the Galaxy devices, earlier than the last year.
You can check more details about the One UI 5 Beta activity through our articles linked below.
Your Samsung Galaxy could soon let you launch Gemini AI through the power button. Currently, you can either launch Bixby or the power menu by pressing the side key.
AndroidAuthority discovered that Gemini AI may be linked to the power button on your Samsung devices. It will unlock fast and easy access to launch the new AI-powered assistant by Google.
Google app’s latest version suggests that the Gemini AI app could soon be triggered by long-pressing the power key on Samsung Galaxy devices.
Once released, the new feature will be displayed through the Gemini AI intro screen that’ll appear in the setup wizard for Samsung devices, informing users that they can “hold down the Side button to talk to Gemini.”
Similar to Google Assistant, Gemini can also be summoned by saying “Hey Google.” However, the power button feature will be a stunning integration, as part of improving user experience.
Since the launch, Google has been evolving the Gemini AI assistant. The platform has recently added a Gemini Live feature for Android users, letting them uniquely use AI magic.
Meanwhile, the power button feature won’t remain limited to just Samsung devices. More strings suggest that Android phones that use the term “power button” will also get the update.
Well, it remains to be seen when the update rolls out for Samsung devices. The Stable One UI 7 could activate the feature after possible unveiling with the Galaxy S25 series early next year.
Samsung today announced that it will hold a press conference on January 6, 2025, a day before the opening of the world’s largest information technology (IT) and consumer electronics exhibition, CES 2025, in Las Vegas, USA.
The event, featuring Vice Chairman Han Jong-hee, CEO of Samsung and head of the DX division, as the keynote speaker, will reveal Samsung’s Home AI innovations and strategy under the theme “AI for All: Everyday, Everywhere.”
The press conference will be streamed live on Samsung Newsroom.
Samsung’s CES 2025 invite also reveals that the Press Conference is open to all credentialed members of the media with a CES badge, and there is no need to register or RSVP.
However, it is highly recommended that participants arrive early as seats are very limited and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

CES 2025 is a great opportunity to showcase technological innovations. Rather than mobile, Samsung prefers Home AI and appliances to be showcased at the exhibition. It solidifies the Galaxy S25 unveiling to happen separately.
Samsung could introduce the new flagships in late January next year. Korean media reported that a Galaxy Unpacked could be held on January 22. The next-gen Galaxy flagships are expected to gain a positive response in the market.
