‘Search with AI’ comes to Samsungs with One UI 7
Apple recently launched iOS 18. The software is packed with features that we have known from Android for some time, such as adjusting the icons on your home screen. But, Apple is also introducing some useful new AI features, such as AI Search. Samsung also likes this feature and is reportedly adding it to One UI 7.
AI Search works as follows. Instead of having to search through all your screenshots yourself, Samsung’s artificial intelligence scans the images for the content. You can then simply search for the desired information via the Samsung Gallery app. You will then see suggested screenshots, insider shares Ice Universe.
So this is an extra Galaxy AI function in Samsung’s Gallery app itself and that is new. A similar function already exists in Google Photos, but it mainly works with image recognition. You can find a photo of your pet, passport or car simply by searching.
It is not yet known what else One UI 7 has to offer in the field of AI. Samsung is fully committed to artificial intelligence from One UI 6.1 onwards. Some of these are proprietary implementations, such as the live translator app and summary feature in the Samsung keyboard. Other features work with Google Gemini, such as Circle to Search.
Not all AI is therefore exclusive to Samsung users. We see Google working with more and more manufacturers, such as the recently launched Xiaomi 14T (Pro) and Motorola Razr 50 (Ultra). These phones can also remove objects from photos thanks to AI from Google.
It is not yet known when exactly One UI 7 will be released. Android 15 must first be released, which is expected to happen on October 15. Samsung can then provide the operating system with the One UI 7 shell and gradually roll it out to its smartphones. We may see the software for the first time with the Galaxy S25 series next spring.
