Samsung plans to expand AI ecosystem with 800 Million units of Google Gemini-powered phones

Samsung is gearing up to enhance its smartphone lineup by integrating advanced AI features powered by Google's Gemini technology. According to reports, the company has already introduced Gemini AI capabilities to approximately 400 million devices, including both smartphones and tablets. Looking ahead, Samsung aims to expand its AI mobile portfolio to a staggering 800 million units by 2026. TM Roh, Samsung's head of mobile, emphasized the company's commitment to embedding AI across all products and services as swiftly as possible. This strategic move is designed to give Samsung a competitive advantage over rivals such as Apple, which is still integrating AI into its offerings. Moreover, Samsung's initiative to roll out more AI-enabled devices is expected to benefit Google significantly, as it will increase the user base leveraging Gemini AI for everyday tasks. The report also noted that Samsung is actively working to regain its market position in the face of fierce competition with Apple and various Chinese manufacturers in both the smartphone and home appliance sectors. Recent surveys conducted by Samsung revealed a remarkable surge in awareness and adoption of Galaxy AI features, jumping from 30% to 80% in just one year. Roh anticipates that despite initial skepticism surrounding AI technologies, their adoption will grow exponentially within the next six to twelve months. As a result, consumers can look forward to a host of new Galaxy AI features and deeper integration of Google Gemini in Samsung devices in the near future.
