Every New Galaxy AI Feature in Samsung Galaxy S25 Series

Samsung held its annual Unpacked event today, and as expected, it took the curtains off the latest devices in the Galaxy S25 lineup. These flagship phones not only come with top-notch internals but also feature the latest of Samsung’s AI innovations. Starting with the handy AI Writing assist everywhere, to the AI Nightography. There’s a lot to discuss here, so let’s “unpack” this new Galaxy AI features.

1. Call Transcriptions

In the excitement of catching up with friends, we often forget to take notes of the important stuff. No need to worry now as Samsung’s AI Call transcript feature is here to the rescue. It can create a transcript of the entire call, and accurately differentiate between the speakers. So once you’re done with the chatter, you can go back and read through it to pick up the stuff you missed.

It works in tandem with the call recording feature. So you’re getting a two-for-one offer here. Once you start recording, it will alert both parties and automatically start transcribing in real-time. Call recording is coming for the first time in the U.S. on a Samsung smartphone with the S25 series and the One UI 7 update. You can learn more about Call transcripts in our separate read.

2. Improved Circle to Search

Circle-to-search has made it easier to do visual searches than it ever was with Google Lens. With the S25 series, this handy AI exclusive gets a new power-up as it will be able to recognize phone numbers, emails, and web page links and then show a shortcut to quickly perform and action.

Samsung’s Gallery app lets you do something similar, but you’ll need to take a screenshot and image and then jump into the app to do it. With Circle to Search, you can perform the same action anywhere on your phone. So no need to copy a number and then paste it into the dialer. Simply draw a circle around it, and let Google handle the rest.

3. AI Nightography

Samsung bundles its S series devices with the best camera hardware without a fault. And it helps you capture some stunning shots. But even the mighty need some help when the sun goes down. Last year, the company introduced Night Photography Zoom, and this year they are expanding upon this feature set with Nightography.

As the name suggests, this AI-powered camera mode will help you capture more detailed, and clear night videos in real-time. So you can expect some stunning results even in dimly lit scenarios thanks to this Galaxy AI addition in the S25 series.

4. Audio Eraser

With your shiny new Galaxy S25, I am sure you might want to take a trip to the beach to record some crystal-clear videos. But playing back the footage, you can only hear the wind and random noise of the seagulls taking over the fun banter between you and your friends. This is where Galaxy AI’s new Audio eraser feature comes in handy.

It automatically identifies different noise sources in the video and helps you get rid of them with ease. So you can mute those screeching birds and all the other background noise. We have seen the Audio Magic Eraser in action on the Pixel 9 series, and it worked surprisingly well. This is the same case on these devices as well.

5. Now Brief

Want to make sure that you’re prepared for the day when you wake up? Then you should try the new Now Briefs feature. It gives you a complete report of all the things that you would want to catch up with. This includes the weather, energy score, sleep data, reminders about expiring coupons, upcoming events, and even apps.

All this info is neatly arranged and displayed to you on a single scrollable screen. You can access your Now briefs within the Now bar on your phone’s lock screen along with the rest of the live activities. And it’s not just for mornings, but whatever time of the day you feel you need to catch up with all the important stuff that you missed out on.

6. Deeper Gemini Integration

Samsung and Google’s ever-growing collaboration has allowed the Korean giant to leverage the prowess of Gemini and involve it deeper in their new S25 series of devices. This now lets Gemini perform various tasks across Samsung and Google apps. So you can ask it to search for Italian restaurants on Google and then send their location to a friend over text in one go.

You can even instruct it to scan texts in an image and save it to notes. Gemini will do both tasks without your intervention thanks to its deeper integration. You can invoke this smarter assistant with a new, “Hey, Gemini” hot word.

7. Writing Assist Everywhere

Have trouble trying to make your sick leave email sound more convincing? Samsung’s Writing assist is here to help. With One UI 7, this Galaxy AI feature became available for all third-party apps. So you can use it anywhere to change the tone, summarize, or highlight text in bullet points or a table.

It can even translate the contents of a page or compose something new out of a simple prompt. The feature has become my favorite on the One UI 7 beta and helped me score some much-needed leaves, so I suggest that you give it a try as well.

8. Drawing Assist

There’s an artist in all of us, and the Drawing assist feature in the S25 series helps to bring it out. With the help of this AI tool, you can add objects to your pre-existing images just by drawing. It can also bring your rough sketches to life. But now it’s been updated with a fresh new look, and you can add prompts to further add depth to your scribbles.

As you can see in this promo image, you can just add a prompt of “Watching fireworks” with your rough cat sketch and see Galaxy AI do its magic. It will add the fireworks as instructed. All you need to do is to bring up the Sketch to Image option from the sidebar and draw your next masterpiece.

9. AI Select

Some of our personal moments can be as goofy as the ones we spot on online GIFs, making you wonder if you could only give the same treatment to your captures. Well, now you can with the AI Select feature. Just bring it up from the side panel and use it to select a portion of the video and choose to turn it into a GIF. Within no time, you’ll have a GIF collection of your own special and funny moments.

But that wraps up this list of the new Galaxy AI features in the S25 series. If any one of them, in particular, piqued your interest, then let us know in the comments below.
