The new Samsung Galaxy S25 series is now available worldwide. This lineup includes the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, all featuring an array of advanced AI capabilities. Many of these features were highlighted during Samsung’s latest Galaxy Unpacked event, where the company announced the new phones. Many were not, however.

Android Authority discovered that one of those new features is “suggested replies.” The feature, available for the Samsung Keyboard, uses on-device AI models to offer potential responses to messages you receive.

According to its description, the feature gives you “AI-powered suggested replies to chat and text messages you receive.”

This feature doesn’t support third-party keyboards, although this could change in time. Additionally, Android Authority could only utilize suggested replies in the WhatsApp app. However, it’s early days, and indications are that this feature should extend to other messaging apps soon.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series introduces several innovative AI features to enhance user experience and simplify daily tasks. One standout feature is “Cross-App Action,” which enables users to perform multiple functions with a single voice command across different apps. For example, you can instruct your phone to search for a recipe online and then text it to a friend, all in one request.

Another exciting addition is “Now Brief,” an AI-powered personal assistant that provides insights and information before you even realize you need them. It proactively offers suggestions, reminders, and updates based on your schedule and preferences.

The new AI features also enhance photography. “Generative Edit” allows users to move or remove elements in their photos, while “Portrait Studio” provides improved selfie editing capabilities. Moreover, the Galaxy S25 series upgrades existing AI functionalities like “Circle to Search,” which can now listen to audio to identify sources, and “AI Select,” which offers precise control over capturing on-screen content.

Samsung promises not to remove S Pen from future Galaxy S Ultras
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the S Pen Stylus.

The S Pen has become the top-tier accessory for people who like to draw and take notes on their phone, especially on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, the future of the stylus has become a topic of debate lately, as it wasn't included in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition package. Fortunately, the company promised not to leave out the S Pen from future Galaxy S Ultra models.

Annika Bizon, VP of Product and Marketing at Samsung's Mobile Experience in the UK, recently told TechRadar at MWC 2025 that Samsung Galaxy users don't need to worry about whether or not the S Pen will be included in future models. The stylus was left out of Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event showcasing the Galaxy S25 series back in January, but just because it was absent from recent marketing campaigns for the latest model doesn't mean it won't be a part of the upcoming Galaxy S Ultra phones.
