    Galaxy AI

    Screen calls before answering
    See who's calling so you can decide if you want to talk. You can let a call assistant answer for you and ask the caller who they are why they're calling.

    Edit images with text prompts
    Image editing has never been easier. Just describe how you want your image to change. You can change the color of someone’s clothes, add something to an empty table, or anything else you can think of.

    Add items from one image to another
    Photo assist makes it easy to combine elements from different images. Take an object from one picture and add it to a different picture. Galaxy AI smooths it out and makes it look natural.

    Add style to any photo
    You can now apply fun styles to any photo with Photo assist, not just pictures of people or pets. In thumbnail view, you can touch and hold to reorder your styles and put your favorites near the front.

    Create images with Creative Studio
    Creative Studio is now available on the Apps screen for easier access. You can use creative studio to create custom wallpapers, unique stickers, and personalized profile images that you can use throughout on your phone.

    Now brief on the Lock screen
    Get more personalized suggestions on your Lock screen. Now brief will show useful information based on your context.

    Enhanced AI select
    Start AI select instantly by touching and holding the edge handle. Missed something in a video? Use the Rewind button to go back and select exactly what you need.

    Auto language detection in Interpreter

    Auto motion photos
    When set to Auto, your camera will only record a motion photo if it detects movement in the scene. Otherwise, it's saved as a still image to save space.

    Capture both sides of the story
