Samsung’s new AI assistant wants to explain what your health data actually means

Your Galaxy Watch collects the clues. Samsung Health Assistant connects the dots.

Samsung Health is getting smarter than ever before with its new AI assistant. The Samsung Health Assistant is now available in beta to eligible users in the United States. Built directly into Samsung Health, the conversational assistant can analyze information collected across the app and answer personalized questions about the user’s health and wellness.

Your health charts talk back now

Health Assistant draws from Samsung Health’s five core wellness areas: sleep, activity, nutrition, mindfulness, and vital signs. It can identify relationships between those areas, highlight patterns that may otherwise be difficult to spot, and explain how one part of a user’s routine may be influencing another.

This means that it can sort through mountains of data generated by your Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring and present it to you in a manner that’s easier to understand. Rather than opening a separate screen for sleep, exercise, and other stuff, users can simply ask questions and receive guidance based on the combined picture. Samsung adds that its recommendations have been validated by physicians and certified health coaches.

Energy Score still requires activity, sleep, and overnight heart-rate data collected through a compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring. The assistant itself can also incorporate information manually logged or stored inside Samsung Health, including nutrition and mindfulness data.

Future versions could become considerably more personal. Samsung plans to use its Personal Data Engine to account for details such as calendar events, routines, and even individual preferences. It is also exploring goal-based coaching and services such as weight management.

Samsung is joining an increasingly crowded AI health race

Samsung describes Health Assistant as the first “fully integrated” AI-powered personal health assistant. So it competes with other similar services like Google Health Coach, which combines Fitbit or Pixel Watch data with sleep, fitness, nutrition, and medical-record information. The system relies on Gemini to answer questions and build personalized plans, but access requires a $9.99 monthly Google Health Premium subscription.

Another great example is Oura Advisor, which uses biometric information and long-term trends collected by an Oura Ring to provide personalized answers about sleep, activity, readiness, and resilience. It requires an active Oura membership. However, Samsung has not announced whether Health Assistant will eventually require payment or revealed which Galaxy devices qualify for the current beta. It is also unclear if and when the featuer rolls out beyond the US.

The company has made it clear that the feature will not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendation. It is just here to make understanding health trends easier.

The $1,500 flagship might be closer than you think

Flip phones already broke the $1,500 mark this year, and slab flagships aren't far behind.

iPhone 17 Pro and Google Pixel 10 Pro.

In July, a Google executive broke the silence on the ongoing memory crisis, highlighting a more than fourfold increase in RAM prices between 2025 and 2026, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The prices have gone up from $2.80 in 2025 to roughly $12 in 2026, as mentioned in the same report. Run the math for a 16GB memory package, and the cost to the company has apparently gone up from $45 to $192.

That's not a rounding error; it's the floor moving under the entire industry's feet. Google is not alone in speaking about the ongoing memory crisis. We've also seen Nothing's CEO speak about it, and other brands like Motorola, OnePlus, and Xiaomi make price adjustments across their lineup.

I’ve used the Pixel 10 Pro a year. I hope Google fixes these nagging issues on the Pixel 11 Pro

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

I’ve been using the Google Pixel 10 Pro for almost a year now, which means I’ve had plenty of time to figure out what I love about it and, more importantly, what still gets on my nerves. And with the Pixel 11 Pro launching on August 12, just three days from now, my wishlist for Google has gotten pretty long. There’s a lot the Pixel already gets right. The software is still one of my favorite Android experiences, performance is generally solid, and Google’s Gemini features have become genuinely useful in ways I didn’t expect. Those are all big reasons I’ve stuck with Pixel phones for as long as I have.

But spend enough time with any phone and the little annoyances stop feeling so little. Over the past year, I’ve run into a handful of recurring Pixel problems that I really don’t want to carry over to another generation. Some have frustrated me for months, while others have made me question whether I can completely rely on my Pixel when I need it most. So, with the Pixel 11 Pro almost here, I have a few things I desperately want Google to get right this time.

Apple is testing Chinese DRAM even after CXMT refused to cut prices

Apple may be testing CXMT memory for iPhones and MacBooks

iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple’s search for more memory supply has taken another step forward. The company is now testing DRAM from Chinese manufacturer CXMT across several products, including iPhones and MacBooks, according to The Wall Street Journal. Apple has also held early talks with CXMT about supplying memory for some devices sold in China and is seeking support from the US government before moving ahead.

The timing is particularly interesting. Just recently, we learned that a shortage of DRAM could already be holding up production of the A20 Pro chip expected inside the iPhone 18 Pro. TSMC is said to have around $1 billion worth of finished chips waiting for memory before packaging can continue.
