Rumours circulating about the future of on-device AI in upcoming Samsung Galaxy smartphones hint at a continued partnership with Google and the expected introduction of their next-gen AI model, Gemini Nano 2.
While the current Galaxy S24 series utilizes the initial Gemini Nano for on-device functions, recent speculation suggests that the Galaxy S25, anticipated for an early 2025 release, may debut the yet-to-be-announced Gemini Nano 2.
As reported by Daum Herald Economy, a South Korean publication, and noted by Gizmochina, Executive Director Cho Cheol-min of Samsung Electronics’ System LSI division has hinted at discussions regarding the Galaxy S25’s future. These discussions supposedly include plans related to Google’s Gemini Nano 2, an unrevealed model by Google.
The report suggests Samsung’s intent to once again collaborate with Google for its 2025 flagship Galaxy S25 series, potentially harnessing the upgraded capabilities of Google’s Gemini Nano 2 for on-device AI features. While specifics about the enhancements brought by Gemini Nano 2 are not disclosed, advancements in voice recognition and image processing are anticipated.
Amidst the anticipation, there are speculations about potential costs associated with these advanced AI features. Hints from Samsung’s Mobile Experience CEO in February implied that future AI functionalities might involve subscription fees, suggesting that Gemini Nano 2-powered AI features may not be entirely free.
With the official launch of the Galaxy S25 series months away and details about Gemini Nano 2’s improvements unconfirmed, the report hints at an ongoing collaboration between Samsung and Google, leaving room for anticipation about how this partnership will develop in the future.
