Samsung Internet could soon summarize webpages using Gemini

One of the most useful Galaxy AI features on Samsung's phones and tablets is the ability to summarize news articles and webpages. This feature works on the Samsung Internet web browser but only through Galaxy AI. In the future, it could work through Google's Gemini AI assistant.

Currently, a Browsing Assist feature called Summarize allows you to summarize online news articles or webpages via the Samsung Internet web browser. However, Google and Samsung appear to be working on a feature that allows Gemini to access and summarize webpages being viewed on Samsung Internet.

According to a report from Android Authority, the latest beta version (16.10.40.sa.arm64) of the Google app allows you to summarize webpages while using Samsung Internet. While viewing a webpage, access that feature by summoning Gemini using the side button or an on-screen gesture, tapping “Ask about this screen,” and then typing “summarize.“

Gemini will then extract the URL of the webpage you are viewing on Samsung Internet and use it to summarize its contents. Currently, Gemini can only attach a screenshot of the part of the webpage visible on the screen and use that information for summarization. In the future, when it can extract the URL of the webpage, it can extract the complete content of the webpage and use that to create a more accurate summary.

The feature isn't available right now, and Google and Samsung appear to be working on it behind the scenes. It could come to Samsung Internet users in the coming months.

For One UI 7.0, Samsung worked with Google on deeper integration of its stock apps like Samsung Calendar, Samsung Notes, and Samsung Reminder with Gemini. More stock apps, including Samsung Internet, can work better with Gemini in the future.
