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.

To activate this feature on your new Galaxy S25 device, open the Settings app. Then, select Advanced Features > Labs and choose the option to suggested replies.

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 has had a busy year of phone launches so far, not only announcing the Galaxy S25 series at the beginning of the year, followed by the Galaxy A56 in March, but it also very recently released the super slim Galaxy S25 Edge.

We aren't even half way through the year and there are already seven new Samsung Galaxy phones to choose from, but if you thought that was it for 2025, think again.

Much of the talk this week is about Samsung’s all-new Galaxy S25 Edge. However, attention will soon turn to next year’s Galaxy S26 lineup. The Elec says that the 2026 lineup will look slightly different from the more recent ones, and here’s how.

Samsung reportedly plans to replace its Plus smartphone variant with an Edge model next year. Historically, Plus sales have lagged behind those of Ultra and standard models, so this would make sense.

Thin is officially IN, and Samsung has laid a marker with the new Galaxy S25 Edge. At just 5.8 mm thick, it’s the thinnest modern smartphone, and at 163 grams, it’s lighter than all the best phones you can buy right now.

Andy Boxall went hands-on with the Galaxy S25 Edge and is smitten. If that’s also you, you may wonder which colors it’s available in and which one to buy. Fear not — I also went hands-on, and here’s a more thorough look at all the different Galaxy S25 Edge colors and which one you should buy.
