Samsung Electronics revealed its latest Galaxy S25 smartphones with Qualcomm chips and Google AI, hoping to boost sales against Apple and Chinese competitors. The Galaxy S25 Edge is set to launch before Apple’s slimmer iPhone. Prices range from $799 to $1,299, with Google’s Gemini and Samsung’s Bixby as key AI features.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 offers personalized AI experiences like the “Now Brief” service, providing tailored recommendations based on user data stored on the phone. The phone uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform instead of Samsung’s Exynos chips, impacting the company’s chip business. The move aims to revitalize Samsung’s smartphone sales amid challenges from Chinese rivals.

Analysts are skeptical about Samsung’s ability to differentiate Bixby from competitors. Despite this, AI features could create a positive brand image for Samsung. The Galaxy S25 lineup aims to offer enhanced AI capabilities for users, with features like multitasking and personalized recommendations. Samsung’s decision to use Qualcomm chips instead of its own Exynos chips marks a significant shift in strategy for the company.
