Samsung's One UI 7 to Introduce AI-Powered Photo Search, Mirroring Apple and Google

Samsung's One UI 7 To Take Inspiration From Apple Intelligence In New AI Search For Photos On Galaxy Phones

Artificial intelligence taking center stage at major company events and being the talk of the town is not something new, especially with the aggressive approach big tech giants have been taking lately with AI-infused capabilities. One of the major selling points of the Pixel 9 series was the Gemini-powered features, and now Apple, with its Apple Intelligence rolling out soon, is also bringing up its game. At the Galaxy Unpacked 2024, Samsung has rolled out some major Galaxy AI features and now seems to be mirroring Apple's approach for an upcoming advancement. Samsung, with its Galaxy AI capabilities, has been bringing ahead some major upgrades and vigorously working on the technology. It seems that the South Korean tech giant might be taking inspiration from Apple Intelligence by bringing in upgrades akin to the one promised by Apple to come out soon. Although Apple is not the only one to introduce the capability, it pioneered it by announcing the Apple Intelligence feature first, which is aimed at making users' lives easier by smartly searching for photos. By giving a description of the photo you are trying to find, you will be able to reach out to the specific photo without going through arduous scrolling. A renowned tipster, Ice Universe, has recently claimed that Samsung, with the One UI 7 update, will bring some major improvements to its gallery and add features related to AI search for users' convenience. While Galaxy AI does have an advanced capability called 'circle to search' that helps you search for an item and let you know what it is by simply circling it. With the new AI-infused search feature, users can easily find images in their photo gallery that seem to have been lost in the thousands of photos and make it less of a hassle to access specific photos. If, for instance, you are looking for a photo of your kid with you on his birthday, you can give this prompt, and it will swiftly present all that is found with the relevant description. This Apple-like feature will be released after Apple Intelligence brings out the capability this month, as the One UI 7 is still far from being released. If we see this feature making its way to the next Samsung system update, we can expect more features that mirror Apple Intelligence to be added up later on.

One UI 7 beta may be delayed but an exciting AI feature is on the horizon

Today is the day we might finally see the delayed One UI 7 beta. Samsung's annual developer conference, SDC 2024, will kick off in San Jose later in the day and we're hoping the delayed software beta will finally make an appearance at the event. Nevertheless, we're now hearing some exciting updates about One UI 7 from tipster Ice Universe. The leaker claims that Samsung is planning to add several optimizations and a convenient AI Search feature to its stock Gallery app with the One UI 7 update. While the tipster didn't share details about the new feature, Samsung is likely implementing a Google Photos-like Ask Photos functionality. Ask Photos is powered by Gemini and allows users to search the Photos app for specific images in a natural, descriptive way. For example, you can search for things like, "photos of me and my dog playing catch."
