At the AI Semiconductor Forum, Samsung confirmed that Google Gemini Nano 2 will be powering the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. To fill you in, it’s the Gemini Nano that powers the current S24 series. Thanks to this model, the entire Android phone lineup can perform a good number of on-device AI tasks.
While the current features that Galaxy AI offers do a great job of enhancing the user experience, Galaxy S25 will take things to the next level. Of course, we still don’t know what to experience. However, Chulmin Jo, the Corporate Vice President of System LSI at Samsung Semiconductor, said that Samsung will hold a meeting with Google in the coming week. This meeting could reveal more about the features that the upcoming phones could get with Gemini Nano 2.
What is Google Gemini Nano? What Could the Second Version of the Galaxy S25 Series Bring?
Gemini Nano is a special AI model. Google designed it to run directly on your phone. At the current stage, two of the flagship lineups that run the model are Google Pixel 8 series and Galaxy S24 series. The good thing about having an AI model in the device is being able to perform AI-related tasks without an internet connection.
Yes, the Nano naming could make it sound like a less capable model. But it part of the bigger Gemini family of AI models from Google DeepMind. It’s the most lightweight version. Given the lightweight nature of the model, Samsung and Google integrated it directly into their flagship phones. But what about Gemini Nano 2, which will be in the Galaxy S25 series?
Gizchina News of the week
Well, this is the first time we have heard about the second generation of the lightweight model. It will likely offer better generative AI capabilities. However, given that Samsung has already confirmed it will be in the Galaxy S25, more information should surface soon.
We can expect improvements in core areas like voice recognition and image processing. For example, the Gemini Nano 2 on the Galaxy S25 series could offer a voice assistant that understands you better. Samsung might leverage Gemini Nano 2 to improve specific features. The new model can even double down on security and privacy.
It’s also worth noting that Google Gemini Nano can do a lot. The second generation of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series could do even more. Some of the capabilities of the current generation Nano include:
Understanding Your World and Smart Communications
With Galaxy AI in the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung introduced features such as Summarize. This helps to get a gist of texts and conversations. Google has also introduced Smart Reply, which offers better suggestions when you’re responding to a chat. This feature could get even better in the Galaxy S25 series.
Smarter Image Editing With Galaxy AI
The Gallery App in the Galaxy S24 leverages Gemini Nano to offer advanced photo editing tools. Google’s Imagen 2 text-to-image diffusion technology powers this. And at the current stage, the results are truly amazing. This feature can also get much better on the Galaxy S25 series.
