Samsung experts discuss Galaxy AI and On-Device AI innovations
The Galaxy S24 series comprises Samsung’s first AI-powered smartphones. The company then launched the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Tab S10 series as well as the Galaxy S24 FE. Samsung published a video in which experts discussed Galaxy AI and On-Device AI innovations.
With the “AI for All” vision, Samsung is setting new standards for next-gen devices through AI smartphones, TVs, and home appliances. On-Device AI enables AI to operate directly within the device without relying on servers or the cloud.
Let’s explore Samsung’s pioneering efforts in On-Device AI innovation.
There are several advantages of On-Device AI including the ability to use AI features with fast response times regardless of network connectivity, and enhanced privacy as personal data is not shared with external servers.
Samsung offers Galaxy AI, which has many on-device AI features, on flagship devices. Galaxy AI supports 20 languages, enabling seamless communication via features like Live Translate and Interpreter, and Browsing Assist.
A key challenge in on-device AI is developing models that are small enough to fit on devices but powerful enough to deliver the desired performance. Samsung has addressed this by focusing on AI training data for specific tasks.
Additionally, Samsung has patented a technology that enables fast inference on low-spec devices without NPUs. The company is also exploring speculative decoding to accelerate inference and techniques to enhance computational power.
By developing AI for its own devices, Samsung can combine in-house development with open collaboration to create hardware-optimized models. Samsung’s on-device AI is set to expand to more products and services, combining with various AI technologies.

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.
