Samsung Electronics decided to expand some of the artificial intelligence (AI) features first applied to the Galaxy S26 series to key flagship models such as the previous Galaxy S25. After guidance recently circulated that new features would not come to earlier models, fueling user complaints, the company took the unusual step of posting an official notice.
Samsung Electronics said on the 6th through a Samsung Members notice that it plans to add various AI features, including call screening, and improvements to ease of use to major models, including the Galaxy S25 series.
Call screening is a feature in which AI answers the phone on behalf of the user, verifies the caller's identity and purpose, and relays the information. Earlier, controversy arose after a response became known that the feature would only be supported starting with the Galaxy S26, but Samsung Electronics said it would address this with a software update.
Industry watchers largely expect the update to roll out in the first half of the year.
