Samsung is preparing to unveil the AI-powered Galaxy S24 series next year. Apple is also working on the development, with products likely coming later next year. Meanwhile, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Huawei want to “squeeze” generative AI into their devices before Apple and Samsung.

Chinese phone makers including Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Huawei want to fuel generative AI into their newest devices faster than Apple and Samsung because they see it as a chance to turn the tables on their rivals in the global smartphone market.

Forbes reports that China-based smartphone vendors are focusing on three main areas to integrate generative AI into their devices including enhancements of their AI assistants, adding multimodal functions and enabling cross-device functionalities.

Xiaomi’s Xiao Ai has also gained some Generative AI features like song and object recognition, harassment call prevention, transport route suggestions, and medication reminders. Moreover, Lei Jun hopes the functions will become more intuitive and intelligent in the future.

Back in August, Huawei disclosed that its AI assistant, Xiao Yi, would be supported by its Huawei Cloud Pan Gu models. This function is expected to provide multimodal functions and be integrated across Huawei’s product suite from phones to laptops.

Last but not least, Oppo has also said that it would soon launch an upgraded digital assistant called Xiaobu, which is being built on the company’s LLM AndesGPT. Vivo also announced that it would release its self-developed Blue LM that would support its Xiao V assistant in November.

Samsung has made a useful update to its voice assistant, Bixby, for Galaxy users. Bixby now supports the Japanese language but is currently only on the Galaxy S25 series. This makes it easier for Japanese-speaking users to interact with their Samsung devices.

The Korean tech giant has been notifying about the Japanese language support of Bixby through a notification on the Galaxy S25 series devices. Users of the Galaxy S25 running One UI 7 can enjoy this feature.

The message from Samsung thanked users for using Bixby and explained that Japanese language support would allow users to enjoy content and services customized for Japanese speakers while still having access to Bixby’s usual features.

With the addition of Japanese, Bixby now supports 12 languages in total. These include Deutsch (Deutschland), English (India), English (United Kingdom), English (United States), Espanol (Espana), Espanol (Latinoamerica), Francais (France), Italiano (Italia), Portugues (Brasil), Korean (Republic of Korea), and Simplified Chinese (China).

However, the Japanese language feature is only available on the Galaxy S25 series running One UI 7 stable. It does not work on older models, like the Galaxy S23. This means that, for now, only users with the Galaxy S25 series can use Bixby in Japanese. Samsung may expand this feature to other devices in the future.

As the company continues to add new languages and features, it shows how Bixby is becoming a smarter, more accessible assistant for users everywhere.

Samsung Galaxy S25 brings AI-based reply suggestions for WhatsApp

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

One UI 7 for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series introduces an amazing new feature for chat and text messages, Suggested Replies. This is a Samsung Keyboard feature feature, which uses on-device AI to generate potential responses to messages received on WhatsApp.

This new feature is different from the previously suggested replies introduced in One UI 6.1.1 on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The older version works with notifications and offers less context. It is still available but operates differently from the more advanced version found on the Galaxy S25 with One UI 7.

The Suggested Replies feature of the One UI 7 makes it easier to reply quickly and efficiently. You can find through Settings >> Advanced Features >> Labs >> the “Suggested Replies” option is available for users of Samsung Keyboard.

When enabled, users receive a horizontally scrolling row of suggested replies to WhatsApp messages (Via Android Authority). These replies, such as “both have their pros and cons,” can be selected and sent with a tap. However, the response isn’t sent until the user presses the send button to give them a chance to review or edit the message.

This feature works entirely on the device to ensure that private conversations are not shared with third parties. While it currently works with WhatsApp, it may also extend to apps like Line and KakaoTalk. It is similar to Gboard’s Smart Reply. However, it is not compatible with Google Messages at this time.

For those who prefer using a third-party keyboard app, Samsung now offers alternative AI writing tools to help with composing responses. It ensures that you can still use the power of AI for replies even without a Samsung Keyboard.

The new AI-powered suggested replies feature enhances the messaging experience, and users with Galaxy S25 can enjoy this convenience.

However, some tasks required unlocking the phone, which limited its use.

You can easily able to use Gemini’s features directly from your lock screen. To use this feature, you need to enable Gemini Extensions.
