Samsung is exploring exciting Vision AI upgrades, probably for One UI 8. These advancements will make it easier to capture and share life’s moments without needing technical expertise and hours of editing with third-party applications.

Finding a specific photo or editing videos on your smartphone can feel like a burden. The Galaxy S25 series changes that with its on-device Vision AI, powering intuitive Gallery Search and Auto Trim features for a seamless experience.

The company aims to improve how AI understands video context. Features like Gallery Search and Auto Trim are just the start, as Samsung could upgrade Vision AI in One UI 8 with features like Video Search and Intelligent Editing Effects.

Gallery Search

The Galaxy S25’s Gallery Search uses Vision AI to make finding photos effortless.

Users can type or speak natural phrases, like “photos from my beach trip last summer,” and the AI analyzes keywords to locate matching images.

This feature tags objects, people, and locations, so you don’t need to scroll through thousands of photos. Samsung’s developers tripled the number of tag types compared to previous models.

• The AI runs entirely on-device, ensuring fast performance and privacy.

Samsung optimized the search model to handle conversational queries, so you can find photos using everyday language. This makes the Galaxy S25 a standout for user-friendly photo management.

Auto Trim

Samsung’s new Auto Trim feature makes video editing simpler, effortless.

Powered by Vision AI, Galaxy AI’s Auto Trim feature analyzes multiple videos, up to 90 minutes long, and extracts key moments to create a short, polished clip, without the need for professional editing skills.

Auto Trim allows users to customize the length of the final video, ensuring it fits their preference and imagination. Samsung’s team tackled challenges like slow processing by optimizing on-device AI, delivering quick results.

The collaboration between Samsung Research and the Mobile eXperience team ensured Auto Trim feels intuitive. By understanding video content with human-like sensitivity, the AI picks the best scenes, saving you time and effort

Samsung One UI 7 is now rolling out in these countries – Galaxy S23 series

Following the stable release of One UI 7.0, Samsung has begun internal preparations for its next major software upgrade, Android 16-based One UI 8, for the Galaxy S25 series. After the Vanilla Galaxy S25 model, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus has now appeared on Geekbench with One UI 8.

This time, the Korean version of the Galaxy S25 Plus has been tested. It appeared with the software build number S936NKSU2BYDN, which shows that Samsung is testing One UI 8 internally.

The Galaxy S25 Plus with One UI 8 performed well in the benchmark test, getting a single-core score of 3146 and a multi-core score of 9545. While impressive performance, these results reflect early testing and are expected to improve with further optimization in future builds.

Back in January 2025, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 series in January 2025 with Android 15 and One UI 7.0. The upcoming One UI 8 update will be the first big software upgrade for these devices. Earlier, the global version of the Galaxy S25 was also seen on Geekbench with strong performance running One UI 8.

Samsung was slow with the Android 15-based One UI 7 rollout, but things look better with Android 16. Samsung may release the One UI 8 beta earlier than usual. It might still follow its regular schedule, launching the beta in Q3 and the stable version in Q4 of 2025.

One UI 8 is expected to bring new features and improvements over One UI 7. Stay tuned for more information.

How to Get One UI 7?

To check if One UI 7 is available for your Galaxy device:

• Open the Settings app.
• Go to Software Update.

Ensure your device is connected to Wi-Fi, has at least 50% battery, and is backed up to avoid data loss. The update size can be large (up to 5.5GB for phones, 4.6GB for tablets), so an unmetered connection is recommended.

Keep checking your device’s software update settings, and stay tuned to Samsung’s official channels or community forums for the latest news. For US users, especially on AT&T, patience may be needed as carrier testing continues.

If you encounter issues post-update, such as app crashes or battery drain, try restarting your device or performing a soft reset. For persistent problems, reach out to Samsung Support or visit an authorized service center.
