One UI 7.1 could soon bring a call summary feature to Samsung devices
After an endless delay, the third One UI 7 beta is set to arrive this week. Meanwhile, Samsung is reported to working on the ability to get a call summary feature, which may come with the One UI 7.1 update.
With the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung introduced lots of Galaxy AI including the Transcribe Assist feature is available through the Voice Recorder app. This feature feature on Galaxy devices enables users to record speech and create a transcript and summary of what was said.
It is worth mentioning that the summary tool is a bit limited, it can only be used for voice recordings, not calls. Now the new report claims that Galaxy users may soon be able to get a call summary feature.
With One UI 7 Beta, Samsung has provided a new Galaxy AI feature called “Transcribe recorded calls” features. This feature only transcribes recorded calls and supports 20 languages. However, this capability was not yet extended to the Summary feature. Now, this might change soon as the feature is expected to expand with a call summary in the One UI 7.1 update.
Android Authority has spotted the Call Summary feature in an APK teardown of the Samsung Voice Recorder app with version 21.5.70.78. Below you can see what this feature can do and how it works.
<code class="c-mrkdwn__code c-mrkdwn__code--no_right_cap" data-stringify-type="code"><string name="app_name_assist_summary_with_call_recording">Transcribe voice and call recordings into text, then summarize them for easy review.</string> <code class="c-mrkdwn__code c-mrkdwn__code--no_left_cap c-mrkdwn__code--no_right_cap" data-stringify-type="code"><string name="summary_setting_description_1_call_recording_setting_common">Use AI to automatically create summaries of voice and call recordings.</string> </code><code class="c-mrkdwn__code c-mrkdwn__code--no_left_cap c-mrkdwn__code--no_right_cap" data-stringify-type="code"><string name="settings_recorder_assist_notice_2_for_call_recording_setting_global">Call and voice recordings need to be transcribed before they can be summarized. When you summarize recordings, their transcripts will be processed online unless Process data only on device is turned on. Samsung won't store this data after processing.</string> </code><code class="c-mrkdwn__code c-mrkdwn__code--no_left_cap" data-stringify-type="code"><string name="summary_setting_description_2_call_recording_setting_global">When you summarize calls and voice recordings, their transcripts, including any sensitive data in them, will be processed but not stored by Samsung.</string> </code><code class="c-mrkdwn__code" data-stringify-type="code"><string name="transcription_assist_description_call_recording_transcript_setting_support">Use AI to transcribe, summarize, and translate voice and call recordings.</string></code></code>
These codes found in the app show that Samsung is working on adding this call summary tool with the One UI 7.1 update to its Galaxy phones.
According to the information, the call summary feature will reportedly work by first transcribing the phone call. After the call is over, the conversation will be transcribed into text, and then using AI, Samsung will create a summary of the important points of the call.
Last week, Samsung started testing Android 15-based One UI 7.1 firmware on the Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone ahead of its tentative launch.
More on One UI 7.1
Samsung is working on the One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 QPR2 on the Galaxy S25 series. The One UI 8.5 is Samsung’s latest version of Android customisation for Galaxy smartphones. Now, the reportred tha Samsung may offers more refined UI design for the upcoming One UI 9, which is based on Android 17.
With One UI 8.5, Samsung has replaced the rectangular bottom bar with the rectangular tabs found in One UI 8.
According to @tarunvats33, One UI 9 will further enhance the pill-shaped design across all apps. Therefore, Samsung fans are hoping the company will add frosted glass and smoother animations in the upcoming update.
A tipster shared images of Quick Share from One UI 9.0 on their X handle. As you can see in the images below:
It has a more compact floating pill-shaped bottom bar compared to One UI 8.5, and the tabs also look more rounded.
We expect One UI 9 to officially launch around July 2026, probably alongside the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8. On the other hand, Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed when One UI 9 will arrive, so keep an eye on the Samsung Members app for the official roadmap later this spring.
This update will be based on the Android 17 operating system. The foldable devices will be the first to launch with the latest OS pre-installed.
Samsung is gearing up to launch its next flagship S series smartphones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, and now we have the latest “possible” look via unofficial leaked renders, showing the phones in black from different angles.
Certain tipsters have suggested the design of the new Galaxy S26 series way before its launch. Some said that it could bring a vertical pill shape bump in the base layer, encompassing three rings on the back, just like its predecessor, while others are now hinting at a box-like imaging system.
Amid this confusion, alleged renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra are emerging from YTECHB, showing what the devices could actually look like. It may adopt stunning dynamic shades this time: Black, showing the device from all angles.
Looking at the renders in detail, the biggest design change is the rear camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Instead of the old separate rings, it now features a single camera island inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 7, giving the back a clean, modern look.
With the launch approaching on February 25th, official renders of the Galaxy S26 series have leaked, and we expect more interesting leaks to emerge soon. Samsung has also started taking pre-reservations for it in many countries, including the US and India.
Here’s how it looks.
Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy S series phones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, later this month. We’ve already seen numerous leaks and rumors about these devices, detailing their specifications and indicating that the launch is imminent. Now, a reliable industry insider has provided new information about 4 design changes coming to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Leaker “IceUniverse” has shared new information about four design changes for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the leak, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have slightly more rounded corners, giving it a softer overall look.
Regarding the second change, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger front camera cutout. This is due to the front camera’s wider field of view, which should allow more people to fit into group selfies.
Furthermore, there is no difference in the bezel width between the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Fourth, and most importantly, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a slightly larger display. It measures 6.89 inches, compared to the 6.86-inch display of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Recently, disappointing news for fans has emerged from an online listing. It appears that Samsung has not included Qi2 magnets in the device. Users will need to purchase compatible accessories to utilize Qi2 charging.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series will be officially launched on February 25th. The event will take place in San Francisco, and an official livestream will be available for fans. More details will be revealed as the launch date approaches. Stay tuned.
