Samsung Aims to Expand Galaxy AI Devices to 800 Million This Year

/in /tarafından

Samsung Electronics is preparing to significantly expand the reach of its Galaxy AI features as competition in the global artificial intelligence market intensifies. The company plans to sharply increase the number of mobile devices equipped with AI-powered capabilities, many of which are supported by Google’s Gemini technology.

According to the company, Samsung had already enabled Galaxy AI features on roughly 400 million devices, including smartphones and tablets, by the end of last year. These tools have become a central part of Samsung’s strategy to differentiate its products in an increasingly crowded mobile market.

Looking ahead, Samsung aims to double that figure in 2026, bringing Galaxy AI to approximately 800 million mobile devices worldwide. The expansion is expected to give the company a stronger position against competitors as AI-driven features become a key factor in consumer purchasing decisions.

Speaking to Reuters in his first interview since assuming the role of co-CEO in November, T.M. Roh emphasized the company’s broad ambitions for artificial intelligence. He said Samsung intends to integrate AI across its entire product lineup, covering hardware, software, and services, as quickly and comprehensively as possible.

Warning for Samsung Galaxy Users: Spyware ‘Landfall’ Found Stealing Data for Nearly a Year

/in /tarafından

Cybersecurity researchers from Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 have discovered a dangerous Android spyware called Landfall, which has been targeting Samsung Galaxy devices for nearly a year, stealing sensitive user data without detection.

The spyware spread through a malicious DNG image sent via messaging apps like WhatsApp, exploiting a zero-day vulnerability — unknown to Samsung at the time — to take full control of the infected device.

Once activated, Landfall could access photos, messages, contacts, call logs, location data, and even the microphone. According to the report, the first signs of the campaign appeared in July 2024, but Samsung only patched the flaw (CVE-2025-21042) in April 2025, leaving users exposed for months.

The vulnerability resided in ‘libimagecodec.quram.so’, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code without user interaction. The main affected models include the Galaxy S22, S23, S24, and some Galaxy Z devices running Android 13 to 15.

Researchers believe the campaign was a targeted espionage operation, primarily affecting users in the Middle East, and possibly linked to private-sector offensive actors (AOSP).

It remains unclear who developed Landfall or how many users were affected, but senior researcher Itay Cohen described it as a “precision attack” rather than a widespread infection.

Samsung has released a security patch, and experts strongly advise all Galaxy users to update their devices immediately to stay protected.

Samsung to Roll Out Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Motion Photo and Camera Enhancements to Older Galaxy Devices: Report

/in /tarafından

Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the latest flagship in its premium smartphone lineup, featuring significant hardware upgrades, particularly in the camera department. However, a new report suggests that some of these advanced camera features, including Motion Photo and 10-bit HDR video, may soon be available on older Galaxy devices through an upcoming One UI update. This move would extend Samsung’s latest photography and videography enhancements to a broader range of users, improving the experience on previous-generation models.

Enhanced Camera Features Coming to Older Galaxy Phones

According to a report from SamMobile, Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7.1 update could bring several Galaxy S25 Ultra camera capabilities to older devices. Among the expected features are 10 new filters, including six film-style options designed to give photos a vintage look. These filters—Soft, Sharp, Intense, Subtle, Warm, and Dark—will reportedly allow users to adjust parameters such as color temperature, contrast, and saturation. Additionally, AI-driven custom filters will be introduced, tailoring image enhancements based on the lighting and environment of each shot.

Professional-Grade Video Capabilities

Samsung is also expected to introduce the LOG format for video recording, aligning itself with Apple’s professional-grade video tools. This format will reportedly support video recording at up to 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, allowing creators to use 3D LUT applications for more precise color grading. Another notable improvement is the arrival of 10-bit HDR video, which the Galaxy S25 Ultra debuted. This enhancement, expected to roll out to select older Galaxy models, will offer both Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) for broader compatibility and HDR10+ for more detailed visuals.

Expanding Camera Innovations Across the Galaxy Ecosystem

By bringing these advanced features to older models, Samsung continues its strategy of offering long-term software support and feature updates across its Galaxy lineup. While it remains unclear which specific devices will receive these camera enhancements, past trends suggest that recent flagship models, such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra, may be among the first to benefit. More details about the rollout are expected as Samsung finalizes its One UI 7.1 update plans.
