Samsung introduced AI Select feature with One UI 7-based Galaxy AI
Samsung One UI 7 introduces an amazing new feature called “AI Select” with Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphones. This feature conveniently recommends all the features based on what’s on your screen.
Samsung designed One UI 7 for the era of mobile AI. AI is seamlessly integrated into the core of the operating system, so that features, services, and interactions in apps speak the same language – leading to a more fluid and personalized experience in different contexts.

Coming back, One UI 7 Al Select conveniently recommends Al features based on what’s on your Samsung phone’s screen. For example, if you’re looking at text, AI Select suggests the Generative Writing Assist AI offers a full menu of writing tools. Here you can choose to create a summary, check spelling or grammar, or edit the tone.
Plus, it’ll offer formatting options, asking if you want to bulletize the list or turn it into an easy-to-read table, and will instantly convert the message into your chosen format.
For images, One UI 7 offers AI-based visual experiences to help you create and edit. So if you’re looking at a photo a friend sent you, Drawing Assist will suggest edits or create images for you to send back right from your screen, without opening any additional apps!

With these features, Samsung claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 will set a new standard as a true AI companion with the company’s most natural and context-aware mobile experiences ever.
For Galaxy AI, the Galaxy S25 series is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. With unique optimizations by Galaxy, it is the most powerful processor ever on the Galaxy S series, delivering performance increases of 40% in NPU, 37% in CPU9, and 30% in GPU compared to the previous generation.
Samsung’s latest Fan Edition tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, are happy as they receive the latest January 2026 security update. Notably, the firmware contains the newest safety improvements that will improve the tablet’s current health for a reliable experience.
According to the inputs, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series tablet with model numbers SM-X520, SM-X526N, SM-X620, and SM-X626N is receiving the latest patch via the One UI versions X520XXS6BZA3, X526NKOS6BZA4, X620XXS6BZA3, and X626NKOS6BZA3, and a software package of 500MB. Though the firmware doesn’t weigh much, we suggest using a stable Wi-Fi connection for installation.
This update doesn’t add any significant new features to the device, aside from the January 2026 security patch. However, you can expect some underlying performance optimizations and fixes for glitches that could have negatively impacted the user experience.
It’s important to note that this update will not harm your personal data. However, it’s always a good idea to back up your data beforehand. Also, the update package will be automatically deleted after the installation is complete.
Samsung’s January 2026 security patch addresses 55 security vulnerabilities. Google helped fix one critical vulnerability and 20 high-risk issues found in Android. Samsung also added 30 additional security fixes specifically for Galaxy phones. These fixes address both critical and medium-level risks.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has started emerging in the leaks, and the latest one has shed light on the camera button of the upcoming 2026 flagship.
As mentioned by Android Authority, a former employee at a Samsung supplier revealed on LinkedIn that they contributed to an initiative developing a new camera button with swipe gesture functionality for the Samsung Galaxy S26.
This report states that Samsung is working on an Apple-style Camera Control button for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. An Apple-style Camera Control button on iPhone models lets you quickly open your iPhone camera and access common camera settings.
We can now say that the Galaxy S26 series will be the first Samsung phones in years to feature a dedicated camera button.
For your information, the last Samsung phone with a dedicated camera button was probably the Galaxy K Zoom from 2014, which was essentially an Android-powered digital camera that could also make calls.
On the other hand, Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the Galaxy S26 lineup. However, according to reports, the company may unveil the Galaxy S26 series at a Samsung Unpacked event in February 2026. This upcoming series could be available in early March. Stay tuned for more information.
Samsung is preparing to release its next major software update, One UI 8.5, which is expected to arrive next month with the Galaxy S26 series. Testing of the initial beta builds of this update has already begun, and new information suggests that Samsung is planning a significant upgrade to Game Booster+ in One UI 8.5.
Game Booster+ is the tool that improves gaming performance and controls on Galaxy phones. According to information via Samsung Community, the One UI 8.5 update with Game Booster+ will bring many new features, including Gamepad Touch Mapping, CPU and GPU Settings, Fast-forward Game Intros, and more.
The Gamepad Touch Mapping is one of the biggest additions, which allows you to control even touch-only games with the pad.
Moreover, this upcoming Game Booster+ update will replace the “Turn on Game Booster GPU Settings” with CPU and GPU Settings. Gamers can tweak their CPU and GPU for game-specific performance optimization.
Last but not least, One UI 8.5 also brings the Fast-forward Game Intros videos option in the Game Booster+, which lets users play much faster, so players can start gaming almost right away.
Currently, these features are only available on Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra phones running One UI 8.5.
