What Galaxy AI can do for your phone, from photos to performance |...

If you’re wondering what Galaxy AI[1] actually does, here’s the short answer: It’s Samsung’s intelligence layer baked into the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra — and it’s designed to help you accomplish more with less effort.

These features streamline things that used to take five steps and three different apps into fewer, context-aware interactions. (For example: turning your shaky 20-minute concert video into a Reel-worthy highlight — without rage-quitting your editing app.)

Here’s a breakdown of what Galaxy AI can do and how its most impressive features work.

Built-in tools for fast content capture

From removing distracting objects to perfecting dynamic lighting, Galaxy AI makes your phone’s camera feel like a professional photo assistant in your pocket.

Better yet, many of these tools are woven directly into the user experience, quietly improving your shots behind the scenes — no need to fiddle around with third-party apps and filters.

Feature	What it does	How it helps
Generative Edit²	Lets you resize or remove elements from your photo, using AI to seamlessly rebuild the image.	Fine-tunes framing so you can get creative with your edits — without needing to download third-party apps.
Nightography³ (AI-enhanced)	Boosts clarity and reduces noise in low-light environments.	Lets you shoot clean, vivid photos and videos even in dim or tricky lighting scenarios.
Super HDR	Captures multiple exposures and blends them with AI to preserve rich detail across tones.	Ensures balanced highlights and shadows — perfect for backlit selfies or dramatic landscapes.
Object Eraser	Taps into AI to remove unwanted objects from your photos and auto-fills the background.	Cleans up photobombs or unsightly distractions in just a few taps.
Scene Optimiser	Automatically detects the subject and lighting to adjust exposure, contrast, and saturation.	Captures well-balanced photos across different environments without fussing with manual settings.
Sketch to Image	Turns your doodles or traced outlines into realistic illustrations within the photo.	Adds a playful or creative touch to your shots to make them even more share-worthy.
Multimodal Gallery Search	Uses natural language and image recognition to find photos in your Gallery.	Just tell your phone the exact photo you want to find, and let AI do the work.

Here's a breakdown of these features and their most helpful attributes:

Ditch basic filters for pro-grade footage

Got footage that needs a glow-up? Whether you’re creating videos for work, school, or just your social feed, Galaxy AI gives you more polish with less prep. Tools like Auto Trim turn raw videos into watchable highlights by automatically identifying the most interesting clips and skipping the fluff.

Galaxy AI ProScaler, on the other hand, takes your just-okay footage and sharpens it on the fly. So if that product demo you filmed came out soft, it’ll still look crisp in the edit. Another feature, Audio Eraser, cleans up noisy backgrounds (e.g. chatter, wind, or the drone of a crowd) so you don’t have to re-record or dig for filters.

Here’s an overview of these features:

Feature	What it does	How it helps
ProScaler⁴	Upscales and enhances soft or blurry images in real time — automatically.	Your photos and clips look crisper without you needing to download extra editing apps.
Auto Trim	Automatically edits your videos by identifying highlights and removing fluff.	Get polished videos without the hassle of manual editing.
Audio Eraser⁵	Reduces or removes background noise in recorded videos.	Makes videos sound clearer and more professional with minimal effort.

Your new multitasking muscle

The idea of phone-based productivity used to be a little oxymoronic, but Galaxy AI flips that script. No more bouncing between apps and getting derailed by a never-ending onslaught of notifications when you’re trying to maximise your afternoon.

Take Seamless actions across apps, for example. Let’s say you’re watching a video of a new gadget, and want to send the product link to a friend, save it to your shopping list, and check if it fits your budget this month. Previously: three apps, five actions. Now: just ask.

This is AI that understands context, not just commands.

Below is an overview of some of these features and what they entail:

Feature	What it does	How it helps
Seamless actions across apps	Lets you issue a single, natural language command that triggers actions across multiple apps.	Saves time and taps into multiple apps without manual steps.
Now Brief⁶ & Now Bar⁷	Gives you a morning or evening summary with relevant info like weather, schedule, and news.	Reduces information overwhelm and helps you start and end your day on a focused note.
Multimodal Search & Voice Control	Allows you to use plain language to search your Gallery or control device settings.	No more endless scrolling — just say what you’re trying to do and find answers fast.
AI Select	Suggests contextual actions — like adding an event to your calendar or finding an address — based on what’s on your screen.	Smart, on-the-spot shortcuts that help you act on what you’re doing without extra taps or digging through menus.

A smarter system that stays out of your way

Whether you’re a creative professional juggling multiple client accounts or just an everyday user who wants a device that’s a little more art direction and a little less attention-sapping distraction, Galaxy AI delivers.

The S25 and S25 Ultra are devices that strike an impressive balance of creative intuition and common sense, so you can stay in the zone without getting stuck in the weeds.
