In order to create and implement fresh artificial intelligence (AI) experiences for Android and Galaxy smartphones, Google and Samsung are working together. The two tech behemoths first collaborated on Circle to Search for AI. With the visual lookup feature, users can conduct a Google search by drawing on the screen. Despite being developed by Google, it debuted before the Pixel 8 series on the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. The two businesses have now acknowledged that they will collaborate to develop new AI features for the ecosystem.
Rick Osterloh, the Senior Vice President, Platforms & Devices at Google shared an image on X (formerly known as Twitter) with TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. In the caption, he said, “Had a terrific conversation with TM and @SamsungMobile leadership. Our partnership has never been stronger. I’m thrilled about our collaboration on AI and the many opportunities ahead for both companies.”
Our collaboration with @Google continues as we work towards a shared vision of delivering the best Android ecosystem of products and services. Exciting things are coming up for the future of AI-powered Android and Galaxy experiences. https://t.co/QNvFEiSq9u

Later, the official X handle of Samsung Mobile also reposted the image, highlighting that both companies are aligned over the vision of AI for the Android and Galaxy ecosystems. The smartphone maker also teased that they were building exciting AI features. Some of these could be revealed at the Google I/O event which will be held on May 14. During this event, the tech giant will also unveil Android 15 and the new features in the operating system.
In addition to working together, both businesses are developing AI-focused goods and services. Originally intended for the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung released its Galaxy AI suite of features earlier this year. Since then, it has been extended to additional devices. In addition to Circle to Search, it added features like Live Translate, which enables phone calls to be translated in both directions in real time, including audio and captions. Through Galaxy AI, Samsung also added Chat Assist in Samsung Keyboard and Generative Edit, an AI-based photo editing tool.
Google has also been hard at work developing AI capabilities for the Android platform. According to a recent report, the company is attempting to enhance its Gemini AI Assistant. The report claims that among other things, the Gemini for Android may get a floating window and the Live Prompt feature, which enables prompt scheduling.
