Samsung wants Galaxy AI to be so good that you won't have to use Settings menu

Galaxy AI might make Settings menu redundant on phones and tablets

Apparently, Samsung is developing AI-powered features that would allow users to use Galaxy phones without accessing the Settings menu. This information comes from an ETNews report. If this information is correct, it could be referring to AI-powered predictions “that can predict what consumers want in advance by improving the performance of ‘touch points’ such as keyboard and camera.”

While we don't exactly know what Samsung has in mind, we have already seen something similar on Samsung's One UI software for TVs. In its new TV software, Samsung shows frequently accessed menu items when you press the Settings button on the TV's remote controller, so you don't have to navigate through the sub-menus to reach the desired settings.

Samsung has already announced that it plans to launch an upgraded version of Bixby that is powered by large language models (LLMs). The new version of Samsung's AI-powered digital voice assistant can now easily understand complex sentences. It can even understand voice commands that have multiple commands in a single sentence. It is already available on some high-end Bespoke series home appliances.

The story continues after the video below.

Bixby can already change several settings on Samsung's phones, but the upcoming version of Bixby could be even more powerful and engaging. There can be a future where you tell Bixby exactly what settings you want to change on your phone, and it does the job. That reminds us of the first version of Bixby that debuted years ago. It is also possible that it can predict what you want to do by learning your smartphone usage habits.

Samsung has done a good job so far with the release of existing Galaxy AI features. With One UI 7.0, it could release even more powerful AI features and the upgraded version of Bixby, allowing you to use several features without touching your phone's screen.
