4 Powerful Galaxy AI Tricks Every Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Power User Needs To Know

Modern life requires the need to stay afloat in a sea of information. People today are constantly inundated with notifications, messages, reminders, appointments and the need to respond to them on any given day. Everything is urgent. Everything needs to get done. Fast. Things also get exponentially more complicated as you can’t respond to everyone in the same tone. You certainly aren’t going to reply to your friend in the same manner as your boss (unless they’re both the same person and even then it’s dicey) in an email. And there’s appointments to keep track of, juggling things at work, your next holiday, your groceries and somehow remembering what you opened your phone for in the first place.

Fortunately, there’s light at the end of the tunnel as Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 series, featuring Galaxy AI is designed not only to help you keep up but to thrive while acting as an AI companion that can stick with you through thick and thin. But what is Galaxy AI and why is the Galaxy S25 series leading the pack in 2025?

What is the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy AI?

Consisting of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Galaxy S25+ and the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 series are Samsung’s premier flagship phones with premium design and powerful specifications that lead the pack. Across the board, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series all feature Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays that offer up to 2,600 nits peak brightness, up to 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut and a 1-120Hz refresh rate for vivid, lifelike visuals and silky smooth animations onscreen. 

What makes the Galaxy S25 series truly stand out is their seamless merging of raw power with intelligent AI capabilities. At the heart of each Galaxy S25 series phone is the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, a custom-made, overclocked processor exclusively for the Galaxy S25 series and other Samsung flagships with the power to handle demanding workloads, in particular the real-time, on-device AI processing necessary to make Galaxy AI work seamlessly.

But what exactly is Galaxy AI? Think of it as your always-on productivity and creativity assistant — capable of natural language interaction, context-aware suggestions, and visual intelligence. Hold the power button and you’ll summon Gemini Live, your built-in conversational interface that lets you adjust settings, get summaries, plan events, and much more — all with the power of your voice or just by typing in a query. 

This is just scratching the surface of what the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy AI has to offer though – here’s 4 ways that seasoned power users can leverage and take maximum advantage of what Samsung’s latest AI and flagship phones have to offer.

#1 Gemini AI Assistant – Natural Conversations, Real Productivity

One of the most infuriating aspects of owning a smartphone is how many steps it takes to do even the simplest things – diving through menus just to adjust a setting, open an app, or find a file. It gets even more annoying when your hands are full and you just need something done.

That’s where the Gemini AI Assistant, built in collaboration with Google and deeply integrated into the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy AI, makes a real difference. Think of it as your personal 24/7 digital assistant — one that actually understands you.

Just press and hold the power button, and Gemini springs to life, ready to follow natural, spoken commands. You don’t need rigid phrasing or robotic syntax — just talk to it like you would a person. You can ask for information like a recipe, directions or almost anything else that tickles your fancy. Beyond trivia and queries, Gemini can control settings on your phone — like adjusting the volume, toggling Bluetooth, switching Wi-Fi and data on or off — all through your voice alone. It’s a massive time-saver, especially when you’re multitasking or your hands are otherwise occupied.

 

Where Gemini really shines is in its ability to act like a true personal assistant. It can set alarms and reminders, schedule events, open apps, and even summarise content — all with fluid, real-time responses that feel like you’re talking to a real person. 

#2 Circle to Search with Google: Find What You Want With Just One Gesture

We’ve all had that moment: you spot something in a video or a photo that you want to know more about. Maybe it’s a jacket someone’s wearing, a dish you’ve never seen before, or a sign in a language you can’t read. Sometimes it’s a song playing in the background, but you have no clue who the artist is. With the Galaxy S25 series, you don’t need to screenshot, search manually, or switch apps — just bring up Circle to Search with Google and let it do the work.

All you need to do is long press the home button, and Circle to Search activates. From there, simply circle what you’re curious about – an object, image, or even text on the screen – and Google will instantly fetch relevant results, including purchase links, product names, and more.

Trying to identify a song? Tap the Listen button and let Circle to Search pinpoint the track and artist. Need a translation? Just circle the text and choose your preferred language – it’s that easy. Whether you’re navigating foreign websites, online menus, or random videos, it’s like having a genius multilingual friend who’s always ready with an answer.

And if you’re travelling or having a live conversation? The Galaxy S25 series also includes Interpreter Mode, a Galaxy AI feature that offers real-time, two-way translation across dozens of languages – from Vietnamese to Spanish – so you can talk with locals, waiters, or cab drivers almost anywhere with ease.

#3 Now Bar and Now Brief – Smarter Info, Right When You Need It

With so much going on in our lives from work to incoming package deliveries and scheduling meetings at work and meet-ups with friends and family, it’s a wonder that we can get anything done. Rather than having to jot them all down in a hefty paper diary planner or pasting sticky notes everywhere within line of sight, the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy AI offers a far more elegant solution – the Now Bar and Now Brief feature.

Acting as a personalised control panel that lives on your lockscreen and which dynamically adapts to your activities, the Now Bar lets you view live notifications, control music playback, access Interpreter Mode and more. The key advantage is that the Now Bar helps you shave precious seconds off your routine, letting you see critical information and control important settings, like the aforementioned music playback, without having to laboriously unlock your phone each and every time.

Where the Now Bar acts as an adaptive bar that lets you see critical information or menu settings at a glance, the Now Brief feature gives you a personalised smart briefing to help make the most of your day with critical information distilled into one handy screen like your sleep score, the day’s weather, your next appointment and critical reminders. It’s like having a personal assistant who helps you with a plan for the day – all without being asked.

#4 Galaxy AI with Note Assist and Chat Assist – Smarter Writing, Cleaner Notes  and Zero Effort

Arguably Galaxy AI’s biggest superpower and the one most beloved by users, Note Assist is available on flagships like the Galaxy S25 series and takes your writing to the next level with just a few easy taps. 

Even after all these years, note taking remains a tedious chore whether you’re a student, a homemaker or a corporate executive. Whether you’re writing down lecture notes, a grocery shopping list or the minutes in a meeting, it remains a time consuming, error-prone task and there’s no time for neatness or grammar when you’re taking down reams of notes, resulting in a poorly handwritten jumble of scrawled words. 

The inclusion of the Samsung Notes app and Galaxy AI makes these typed bits of text into polished, readable and beautifully formatted documents in seconds by automatically cleaning up grammar and typos, and especially for those in a hurry, summarise long notes into bullet points for easy reading. The Galaxy S25 Ultra also has an integrated S Pen stylus, which elevates Samsung notes to another level, allowing you to directly write notes into Samsung Notes itself and Galaxy AI is able to convert this into neatly typed text on demand.

That’s not all, Galaxy AI can even translate documents saved into Samsung Notes into another language, create customised Note covers to better organise your notes and best of all, convert voice memos into written transcripts that can be saved into Samsung Notes for easy reference. With Samsung Notes and Galaxy AI, you’re able to work faster and smarter too.

Ever wondered just how to phrase your message to someone in the right way or just don’t have the time to write an appropriate reply? Galaxy AI also powers Chat Assist, a feature on the built-in Samsung Keyboard on the Galaxy S25 series, enabling users to create short texts appropriate for any recipient and scenario from friend to employer on demand.

Ready to Experience Smarter Productivity with Galaxy AI? 

Whether you’re looking to enhance your productivity or just make life’s daily interruptions easier to manage, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series has the features and the smarts to help you do more and stress less. With powerful Galaxy AI and a host of meaningful features like Circle to Search with Google, Now Brief and more, it’s more than just a phone – it’s your constant AI companion.
