Samsung is redefining what smart means in everyday devices. At the recent Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, the company announced its biggest move yet—bringing its intelligent software experiences to 400 million devices by the end of 2025. That’s not just flagships, but tablets, foldables, smartwatches and upcoming extended reality (XR) wearables.
From smarter photo edits to intuitive language tools and better multitasking, Samsung’s entire ecosystem is being rewritten to adapt to users not the other way around.
The Z Flip7: Smarter Inside, Sleeker Outside
Top of the list is the Galaxy Z Flip7. Launched on July 9 with much fanfare, the compact foldable has a stunning FlexWindow that allows for quick interactions thanks to a deeper layer of smart processing. You can now search by circling objects on the screen, get real-time translations or quick replies—all without opening the phone.
An early hands-on post by @SamsungMobile showed off its vibrant design while its smart layer integration lets you chat, search and act—all from the outer screen. The new experience is making foldables not just fashionable but functionally futuristic.
One UI 8: Bringing Smarts to Privacy and Productivity
The latest version of Samsung’s interface, One UI 8, isn’t just about looks. It brings enhancements to Secure Folder where the latest smart tools are now fully supported. That means sensitive interactions—like private chats or personal documents—can now use advanced tech tools without compromising security.
@tarunvats33 posted about these updates on June 8 and gave users a sneak peek into a darker-themed interface where secure and smart coexist. It’s a subtle but big nod to Samsung’s focus on user privacy.
Photography: One Tap, Pro Results
Remember when editing photos took time, effort and often third-party apps? Those days are behind us. A viral post by @Pmkphotoworks on February 8 got everyone’s attention for all the right reasons. Using the Galaxy S25 Ultra, he showed how smart editing tools can now remove objects and enhance image clarity with scary precision—leaving even the iPhone 16 Pro Max in the dust.
His verdict? “Scary good.” And that’s what the community is saying too with many hailing the seamless workflow that now comes built into Samsung’s gallery and camera apps.
One UI 7.1: Smarter Emojis, Smarter Summaries
One UI 8 is leading the way now but many of these features were first seeded in the One UI 7.1 beta in late 2024. Leaks from @chunvn8888 showed features like personalized emoji creation and content summarization tools. They seemed like niche features back then but now we can see they were the foundation for a more Samsung centric ecosystem where your device knows what you need and when.
Revolutionizing Wearables and Beyond
It’s not just phones and tablets feeling the change. As of July 8, smart features have taken over Samsung’s Watch8 series, so you can get real-time translations, context-based reminders and smart text replies from your wrist. Users like @cryptoHolder09 are calling the ecosystem overhaul a “revolution”.
In short, smart is no longer just for flagships—it’s becoming the norm across the Galaxy range.
From Foldables to the Future: What’s Next?
Samsung isn’t stopping with smartphones. The company has officially confirmed the Galaxy G Fold—a tri-fold device—as well as XR headsets, all of which will get the same intelligent features as the S25 and Z Flip7.
But the most interesting is the roll out of Awesome Intelligence on mid-range phones like the A35, A55 and A56. These phones will get real-time translation and basic image editing, futuristic tech without subscription—at least until the end of 2025.
However, Samsung has hinted that some advanced features will go behind a paywall starting with the Galaxy S26 in 2026. Until then, it’s a free-for-all for those who want to get the most out of their devices.
Samsung’s Master Plan: 400 Million Devices and Counting
According to TM Roh, President of Samsung MX, the goal is clear: to create a connected world where smart services make life better for 400 million Galaxy users. With continued upgrades through Android 16 and deeper One UI refinements, the future is exciting and inclusive.
Whether you’re unfolding a foldable, jotting notes on a tablet or glancing at your wrist, the Galaxy ecosystem now responds faster, acts smarter and feels more personal than ever.
